The PS4 could cost less than $ 600 as the CEO of Sony America

The Sony press event organized last February 20th left us with more questions than answers. The CEO of Sony America, Jack Tretton, answered several questions after the announcement of the PlayStation 4.

The interesting question everyone is obviously much will the PS4 and whether it will be as expensive as the PS3 when it was released about 7 years ago. Tretton did not give a direct answer, but it was more like an evasion, and he said he "hopes" that the price is less than $ 600. Consider now a PS3 can be purchased from $ 250, so obviously hope to bring the price of the PS4 between these two amounts mentioned. The idea of the company is that the PS4 is more friendly to our pockets, but have not yet decided on a final price.

As for the absence of the console in the event announcement, Tretton said he found it necessary to make it known yet, after all, once it is ours, we will look at what will be playing our TV screen and not the console other.

He also said that some aspects of the PS4 are not yet finished, and polish some things missing and some design specifications. Something similar happened with the PS3, which is said to be announced that would have all kinds of ports that were not part of the final product, so do not be surprised if the same applies to the new PS4.

Sony will let Microsoft releases the Xbox first

 

New Xbox and PlayStation are underway. The big question is: which of the two will be released first? Will the PlayStation 4 (codenamed "Orbis") or the Xbox 720 (codenamed "Durango")? According to a review of the Sony CEO Kaz Hirai, the new console will not be the first to be released, and seems to leave that honor to the Xbox.

Except for the PS1, Sony has always chosen to sit and wait. The PS2 came out almost two years after the Dreamcast, and the PS3 a year later than the Xbox 360. I just hope they do not have to wait that long to test the future PS4.

When asked about the launch, Hirai said "Why competition ahead when you can see your specifications and then release something better?". Clearly Hirai afraid that Microsoft achieved a better console launch the PS4 if they rush it out to the market too.

How much do you expect Sony to launch its PS4? If things continue at this rate, you may not see it on sale until 2014.

New reports say that Sony could make big differences with his rival to implement a new control similar to that seen with the Wii U and PS Vita.

DualShock analog controller (pictured) has hardly changed since its launch in 1997, but new rumors suggest the company are working on a new type of control for the PS4.

As they say, there are already prototypes PS4 control with biometric sensors and touch screen LCD, and the same are in the laboratories of the research and development department of Sony. He says the idea is to create a Sony user interface similar to that used by the PS Vita.

The touch screen makes sense, but the biometric sensor add new way to play video games, and also add a few extra dollars to the cost of control.

Will have to see how out once the PS4 is released.
