'''notes:'''
* there was some mention of 30K polygon count in historical reference of how detailed the renderings will be, but if you crosscheck it with [http://forum.lowpolyworkshop.com/topic/9130085/2/ other references] it is just empty marketing phrasing.

===== Wi-Fi on E3 =====

Knowing the WiiU loses connection easily with its 5GHz Wi-Fi, how does the Wi-Fi on PS4 relate on a crowded environment? :

== "Always On" feature ==

There seem to be no requirement for a continious internet connection (ofcourse unless you want to use services that require them, like [[PSN]]/SEN, online mediaservices, share button etc.).

Same requirements as WiiU - while in the Xbox field there was some discussion about the need of it. See also : http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged-in/microsoft-exec-stirs-controversy-always-xbox-twitter-tirade-173337715.html
