Edge Online, in a curiously titled article, are claiming that the PlayStation 4 – set to be at least mentioned in passing on the 20th – won’t make it out in Europe until 2014.
“We’re told that PlayStation 4 will launch in Japan and the US by Christmas, with a Euro rollout following in early 2014, the delay attributed to the complexities involved in European distribution,” says the site, which is hugely disappointing to hear.
That said, this information goes against the grain of everything we’ve heard so far, but it’s not entirely out of the question. We won’t know until we get to the PlayStation Meeting, however, and perhaps not even until E3 months later.
The magazine also re-iterates other recent rumours, including a new controller, enhanced Move sticks and a better, dual camera array in place of the old PlayStation Eye. Hopefully all this will be put to bed within the month, and we can all just look forward to some games.
Edge also claim that Sony are aiming for 8GB in the PS4, to match rumours that Xbox 720 will also feature the rather bumper amounts of RAM.
Sony kicked off their teaser campaign at around 11pm last night.

I’ve got to be honest, if this is true I ain’t gonna be bothering with the next gen of consoles. It maybe wrong but I’m pretty sure Europe is the Playstation 3 and the Vitas biggest market, yet we always get treated like we’re not important. It’s frustrating getting games and consoles so much later than everyone else and personally I’m fed up of it. I’ve been a console gamer for 20 years but, and again IF this is true, I will be concentrating on my PC from now on.

As a European living in America, you’d be surprised how incorrect this ‘second class citizen’ feeling is. From a gaming standpoint, I’d personally rather be in Europe.

This ‘d better not be true.
