The PS4 was unveiled yesterday and we felt the conference was pretty good as you can read from our review here. It’s a common thing that PlayStation consoles are developed in Japan, since they hold all the cards.

However, Hiroshi Kawano, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Japan, revealed that he hasn’t seen the final PS4 design, and he doesn’t know what it looks like.

“If I’m being honest, I also haven’t seen its final design. Even the controller we showed today, I saw the final design around yesterday or so,” he told 4gamer.

“I’ve seen numerous prototypes from when it was still codenamed ‘Jedai’, and I heard that an onboard touch pad was in the final specs.”

It looks like Sony has been extremely secretive of the whole thing, which is good since there were hardly any leaks, except the controller.
