Sony launches Play Station 4

First look at next generation of console as company announces latest gadget will be available to buy at Christmas

Its not news that sony and microsoft have been on some major rivalry for the past few years with the Play station and the Xbox consoles but sony is apparently about to step it all up with the playstation 4 which will be in stores by christmas, Sony Computer Entertainment president Andrew House speaks at the Play Station 4 unveiling in New York about the fact that it would be available next christmas and the new play station 4 will usher in a startlingly lifelike breed of games.

But ofcourse sony has been using that same controller design since we all lived under the rocks in abeokuta… well they are improving/changing it now (Thank God) giving it a curvier shape, a touchpad and a blue reflector strip that interacts with a PlayStation Eye camera… just one of the few things that caught the eye at the event and yes the eye camera is included in the price.

I have to say the most attractive feature however will have to be the fact that you can actually connect with smartphones – Sony makes a range of Android phones – enabling phone users to chat with Play Station 4 gamers and to control their PS4s remotely which also sort of shows they are trying to contend with gaming on mobile phones since most of us these days are so addicted to our mobile devices and tablets. Amazing yet? ok more, you know how you store files to iCloud and stuff like that?, you will be able to stream games online now… in the cloud… LOL

With a launch this big as far as cloud gaming and power is concerned, its safe to say sony has launched a convincing first salvo in the impending console showdown with Microsoft. They havent released pricing yet but im certain this device would cost no less than $300 (just saying)… but proper pricing and a bunch of games that would be available with the device would definitely be showcased at the E3 show in June… along with microsofts rival console hahaha… Let the war of games begin!!!!

As for me i stick to my brick game for now. You should try it too.. Brick games are awesome.
