LOS ANGELES — During a press conference at the Electronic
Entertainment Expo (E3), Sony finally debuted the PlayStation 4, the
latest version of its popular console.
Sony announced the the device
during a press event in late February. The company began developing the
PS4 shortly after it released the PlayStation 3 in 2006. While we
learned a bit about the fourth-generation console in February, Sony
didn't reveal it at the time.
The PS4 has an X86 processor, enhanced PC GPU and 8GB of high-speed
unified memory. It also includes a dual-shock controller that includes a
touchpad, headphone jack and share button.
The share button is particularly interesting. The PS4 has dedicated,
always-on video compression, allowing you to share gameplay clips with
friends on the fly. Using the button, you can also let friends watch you
play a game remotely, or have a them virtually take over the controller
to help you finish a level.
A new Remote Play feature also lets you play your PS4 games on the
PlayStation Vita. Much like in the Wii U, Remote Play allows you to
simultaneously watch television, while playing a game on Vita.
Earlier this month, Sony posted a YouTube video
that showed blurry footage of the console. It marked the first time we
were able to see something other than the system's controller.
The PlayStation 4 will be available "this holiday season" for $399.
