Playstation had their huge media event a couple weeks ago and the main announcement confirmed what the rumors had suggested for several months. PS4 has been officially announced although not every detail has been released yet.
The announcement revealed a collection of game previews along with the new controller pictured above. The PS4 will focus primarily on gaming and will switch components and formatting to a more game developer friendly format.
This new announcement is exciting but does leave a lot of information to be desired. There hasn't been any reveal of the actual hardware that the console will look like, but we do know that the PS4 is set to arrive this year during the holiday season. The information should give us a clearer picture of what the console will look like and what we can expect from the system.
This announcement beat XBOX to the punch who is also set to announce their next generation console this year. It should be an intense buying season and it will be interesting as it seems PS4 is going after gamers and Xbox is targeting home enteratinment and living room consoles.
More to come, but it should be exciting to see where these new consoles are going and how it is effected by the new social gaming atmosphere and indie games that can be streamed online.
!!!!
if anyone wants to look in here is the entire 2 hour announcement
Not gonna lie I'm still using my PS2 and Wii in addition to a NES, Sega, and SNES, but after hearing about PS4 on Xplay i think i might retired all of those to storage and add this to my christmas wish list
ReplyDeleteYeah. The older consoles are still awesome to use. I am hoping this one will have enough to make it worth the buy..fingers crossed.
