Development sources with working knowledge of both next generation consoles have told us that PlayStation 4 will be more powerful than the next Xbox, will ship with a redesigned controller and launch by the end of the year in Japan and the US. PlayStation 4’s European launch will follow in early 2014. Sony is set to reveal its next PlayStation on Wednesday February 20th at an event dubbed ‘see the future’. Sony Computer Entertainment released a teaser video last night to announce the event. Below, our sources revealed what to expect from PlayStation 4. The controller Sources close to the hardware have revealed to us that PS4 will ship with a redesigned controller which is the same size as an existing DualShock but features a small touchpad in place of the existing Select, Start and PS buttons. The tech is based on Vita’s rear touchpad, and is similarly responsive in use. A new Share button on the controller will, when pressed, launch a new feature that will allow screenshots and video to be distributed online. The PS4 hardware will continually record the most recent 15 minutes of onscreen action (with no processing penalty, claims our source), which users will then be able to edit and broadcast via the Internet. The launch We’re told that PlayStation 4 will launch in Japan and the US by Christmas, with a Euro rollout following in early 2014, the delay attributed to the complexities involved in European distribution. Alongside the console, Sony will also introduce a new, improved iteration of its PlayStation Eye peripheral, which remains compatible with the PlayStation Move controller. Move will be available at launch, but it’s not clear yet whether it will be bundled with the hardware. Source: http://www.edge-online.com/news/playstation-4-revealed/
The way it's being revealed doesn't really seem like its going to be a PS4. I hope I'm wrong. And if they don't make it compatible with PS3 games then I will boycott the shit out of Sony lol.
lol we don't know for sure if it's a PS4 announcement. All we know is that they are holding a meeting and the event will be held on February 20th, 2013. Only dotish Tr3v ah consider it PS4 announcement LOL
Your source is dotish then lol. I seen this teaser on the actual Sony Playstation blog a few days ago, nothing is revealed in the teaser nor description. We will have to wait until February 20th to find out. HOPEFULLY it is a Playstation 4 announcement though rather than another useless hand held device lol.
