Everything you need to know for the PS4 launch on one handy page! The PlayStation 4 or PS4 is the successor to Sony's PlayStation 3 console and it now has a confirmed release date of 'holiday 2013' most likely in its home territory of Japan, followed by a US and European release in early 2014. The PS4's tech specs will feature an x86-64 AMD "Jaguar" single-chip custom processor, a next-gen Radeon-based graphics engine that can make 1.84 trillion calculations a second and 8GB of GDDR5 memory plus a 6x Blu-ray drive. Other notable features include free game trial service via Cloud based Gaikai , an improved DualShock 4 controller and the PlayStation 4 Eye. Key confirmed PS4 titles include Watch Dogs, Killzone: Shadow Fall, inFAMOUS: Second Son, Drive Club, Knack and the first console version of Diablo III. E3 2013 will see a further unveiling of PS4 tech and games with God of War 5, Grand Turismo 6 and third party titles like Wars 1313 and possibly even a next generation version of GTA 5 unveiled.
