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.

One word.
Import.

I thought the days of having to import non-niche hardware were over.
That being said, there was always something special about importing a new toy :p

pissed if they make us wait.

Hardly surprised by this, even if it were a worldwide release, SCEE would find a way to f**k it up.

I won’t mind the wait as i see plenty of life in PS3 yet and i’ll have to digest all the information about what PS4 will be exactly, cost, features etc. as that info becomes available.

As a subsriber to EDGE, owner of full collection etc…
This is EDGE who, lets be honest, in the past got caught out airbrushing up DOA 3 XBOX screenshots, who did an article on the Xbox being at deaths door (it then went on to handle likes of Far Cry, Doom 3 and HL2, which PS2 could’nt handle).
I believe all they are doing is going off a ‘story’ from the US press.
This 8 Gig memory claim been pretty much shot down as well (upto now no-one has done it with this type of memory).
The improved camera? ohh come on Edge, that’s a bloody given, PS3 had improved camera over PS2.
And pray tell ohh oracle of EDGE, just HOW Sony have got production lines pumping out the required number of chips that pass Q.A testing and are ‘more powerful’ than anything MS will be using, when this time they are’nt being made in Sony plants, but just off the shelf stuff, ergo new production lines at that.
I smell a rather large rodent or..a Sony P.R machine at work, trying to force MS into an early annoucement.
