Sony to share 'release plans' for PS4 on August 20th

4.5
Sony's August 20 press conference at Gamescom may tell PS4 enthusiasts exactly when they'll be able to shell out $400 for the new console, a post to the European Playstation Blog announced this week.

The update describes the show's content as a briefing on Sony's "release plans for PlayStation 4." Announcements concerning the PS3 and Vita are also planned.

You can start virtually camping out for the conference here, which begins at noon EST. In contrast, Micorosoft has scheduled a keynote led by Corporate VP of Microsoft Phil Spencer. Spencer described its August 20 conference as a "really short" show emphasizing developers and their games, including an exclusive installment to "Europe's biggest franchise."

If they wanted to beat the Xbox One they would need to.


They've already beat the Xbox One simply because the Xbox One goofed with putting in the drm/kinect requirement when they first announced it.


Not true what-so-ever.


How so?

As I stated in an earlier comment, they have everything from better online service, to a cheaper price and slightly better hardware, as well as more care for their exclusives.

I'm not bias at all, I'm actually a PC gamer and I used to play 360 daily, but still, PS4 looks a lot more promising than the Xbox One.


I agree with your comment for the most part but a better online service? Unless they do some drastic updating I highly doubt the online service has gotten much better. The PS3 didn't even have party chat which they finally now have on the PS4. Online was garbage on the PS3. Besides Halo the exclusives on the PS3 are much better though. Also with the PS4 being cheaper is definitely an advantage. But even with that the PS4 does not have the cloud and and the 300,000 online servers. So unless they start investing towards those I don't see them beating the Xbox's online.

I love it when everyone says Playstation people start stuff meanwhile two scrubs come in and do it. Go do something else, kids.

I wonder if we are going to see a new PS3 like we did for the Xbox 360 after this event, to carry it into the future. I really don't expect much from the Microsoft conference as it is more then likely going to just show some gameplay we have already seen.

Ps4 beat Xbox the 1st week but not now


Hmm, better online track record, better hardware, lower price, more/better exclusives, PS+ is a helluva lot better than XBL Gold.

Pretty sure PS4 is still the top contender here.

Axe It seems like xbox is just following sony's leads here. Every time sony plans to announce something, microsoft will do the same.


To be honest, Sony copied Microsoft with releasing information about the DVR etc.

Or every time Sony outdoes Microsoft at something or goes the consumer-friendly route, Microsoft will try to play catch-up.
