PlayStation 4

Sony’s big GamesCom press conference brought plenty of huge announcements this evening, but the platform holder ended with an appropriate show-stopper, confirming that the PlayStation 4 will launch on 15th November in North America and 29th November in Europe. Considering that the rumours pointed to an October launch, we can’t help but feel a little disappointed.

SCE president Andrew House made the announcement, reconfirming that the console will cost £349.99/$399.99. The well-spoken gaffer even took a moment to take a swipe at the Xbox One, stating that the manufacturer’s stuck to its original vision throughout the pre-release period. But will the late release date give Microsoft time to pip the Japanese giant to the post? Let us know in the comments section below.
