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- there was some mention of 30K polygon count in historical reference of how detailed the renderings will be, but if you crosscheck it with other references it is just empty marketing phrasing.

Wireless / Networking
WiFi on E3
Knowing the WiiU loses connection easily with its 5G wifi, how does the wifi 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
