Not looked into much details about the PS4 so not sure if this is new, either way I must admit I was expecting a much bigger price tag. Quite a nice surprise really
PlayStation 4 to cost £270 at launch, use Gaikai cloud tech?Sony's PlayStation 4 will reportedly retail at 40,000 Yen when it launches in Japan.
Based on current exchange rates, the console would sell for $428 in North America and approximately £270 in the UK. In comparison, the PS3 launched at 60,000 Yen in Japan, $599 in North America and £425 in the UK.
A report in major Japanese newspaper the Asahi Shimbun (via The Verge) suggests that the console will indeed be announced on February 20, and will launch later this year in Japan and North America.
No mention was made of the European release date, however, suggesting that recent reports of a 2014 launch may be accurate.
It is believed that the console's new controller will feature a touch pad, while another report in the Nikkei business daily says that the console will use cloud technology provided by Gaikai.
It was recently claimed that Sony's next console will feature 4K resolution support in line with a rumoured new range of Sony TVs.
Additional hardware details were leaked last year, while EA's Frank Gibeau revealed that he had seen both the PS4 and new Xbox, and suggested that the consoles would introduce gaming to a further billion people.
Potential next-generation games include Star Wars 1313, Watch Dogs and Mass Effect 4.
