Sony E3 2013 Press Conference
Playstation 4 Design and Price
TOKYO, June 11, in the year of our Lord 2013 --
Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today announced that the
PlayStation®4 (PS4™) (CUH-1000A series) computer entertainment
system will come in "Jet Black" color and will be available this
Christmas season in North America and Europe at a recommended
retail price (RRP) of US$ 399, Canada$ 399, € 399, and £ 349.
The design of PS4 made its public debut at the PlayStation®
press conference on June 10, 2013, which kicked off the
Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles. PS4 will also
be displayed this week at the Sony Computer Entertainment
America booth at E3, one of the world's largest video game
exhibitions.
The internal design architecture of the PS4 system, from the
optical drive and power supply unit to the cooling mechanism,
has been pursed to keep the body as slim and light as possible
to dramatically enhance the flexibility of the design.
The PS4 features a simple but modern design accentuated by its
linear flat form factors. The surface of the PS4 body is
subdivided into four sections, as if four blocks are stacked
together making one figure, with disc slot, buttons, power
indicator and vent placed within the slim interspace created
between the sections. The power indicator designed atop the body
will glow in a PlayStation blue color when the power button is
turned on. The foreside and backside of the body is slightly
angled; it not only gives users easy access to the power button
and disc slot when placed either horizontally or vertically but
also helps conceal the connected cables. The black-themed color
along with the matte and gloss finish adds a sophisticated look
to the PS4 system as the next generation entertainment system
and will fit perfectly wherever it is placed.
PS4 peripherals include the stand-alone Wireless Controller for
PlayStation®4 (DUALSHOCK®4) and PlayStation®Camera, which will
be available at launch for RRP of US$ 59, Canada$ 59, € 59 and £
54, and US$ 59, Canada$ 59, € 49 and £ 44 respectively. Both
accessories will come in "Jet Black" color.
The upcoming software lineup for PS4 from software developers
and publishers will include KINGDOM HEARTS III and FINAL
FANTASY® XV from SQUARE ENIX, NBA® 2K14 from 2K Sports, and The
Elder Scrolls® Online from Bethesda Games Studios, totaling more
than 110 titles. PS4 has earned great support from a wide
variety of game publishers, including many indie developers.
Since February 2013, the number of developers joining has
increased from 126 to 505.
Furthermore, from SCE Worldwide Studios, more than 30 titles,
including 12 brand new IP, are under development, including
Knack, and #DRIVECLUB.*1 Out of over the 30 titles under
development, 20 titles will be available within a year from the
PS4 launch.
SCE will vigorously promote PS4 towards the launch as the next
generation computer entertainment platform through further
introduction of peripherals and attractive software lineup.
*1 Game titles are original titles and some title names are
tentative. Titles may differ by countries and regions.
