PS4 ‘getting ready’ for possible May Reveal date

Sony’s vice president of home entertainment, Hiroshi Sakamoto, hinted at the announcement of the PS4 during an interview with Emol (translated).
Sakamoto spoke about “a new announcement related to the new PlayStation.” He also said that the news is “still a big secret” and that the PlayStation side of Sony, “are getting ready for it.” Hmm, all very cryptic and ambiguous, but with all the rumours that have surfaced over the last couple of months, one can only suspect that he is talking about the next PlayStation, even though he did not outright mention it.

Not really a launch but an unveiling. I could see it if they have to which I think they do. At E3 they have the Vita to sort out and by revealing the console before they could do a Nintendo and concentrated on some other aspects of it (I say Gaikai and how that will interact with both the PS4 and Vita with of course other games)

[asmith2306]

I can't wait for an announcement about the PS4 purposely because of the amount of rumors and articles that have been doing the rounds, especially in the last three weeks. I know Sony won't disappoint me on the hardware side so I just want to hear about the next-gen PSN, PS+, Gaikai, etc. I want to see the services side of the next PS4. I really hope they keep PSN free though.

[JoGam]

I just hope it further along and we don't have to wait for 2014. I remember how I felt when they showed the Vita then announced early 2012 for the US. I was so pissed.

[Ezz2013]

my body is reggie :)

[Cryptcuzz]

I honestly thought that was funny. Why did you get so many disagrees>? Some just got to take it easy with their hobbies I guess.

[Relientk77]

That was clever lol

[The Great Melon]

If only this were a Nintendo article this would have been an epic comment. Regardless, a gif is required now.

[IAMERROR]

I'm getting so sick of Next-gen rumors, I just want to see it happen already lol

[Gamer1982]

Ms and Sony know we all know there's a console coming out this year so whats the point of keeping it secret any more?

Well actually to answer my own question there playing with each other waiting for one to announce so the other can announce there's with a bit more RAM or a slightly earlier release date. They want one to release details before the other so they can then 1-up them. Who loses with this? We all do.. as it will probably lead to non-parity multi-platform games once again the upcoming nex-gen.

[Mr_cheese]

I'm expecting the PS4 to be a new era for not just the playstation but Sony as a business by creating a brand/ design/ appeal that is synonymous across the whole Sony product range like they have already started to do.

[BitbyDeath]

All aboard the N4G hype train!

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Knowing how this site acts I'm surprised MS isn't tied down to the train tracks.

[BitbyDeath]

Sorry to disappoint, i'm at work so had to rush it ^_^

[N4GDgAPc]

I heard a rumor ps4 is going to be revealed next week!..

@edit
Wait... no in 2 days!

@edit2
No Tommorrow

@edit3
Sorry we were wrong from our sources but this time we got legit rumors. There going to reveal it in May!

all these rumors is getting pretty bad. Not even ps3 was this bad.

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

ps4 will own!

[Shanks]

Fix the title, it should be May announcement.

[Vettur]

Why?
First of all, it's the title of the actual article, and secound, it's not possible to change after the post is approved.

[steve30x]

The rules of posting a news story states that you use the original news story title so changing the title of this is not optional.

[THC CELL]

I think they will show off the cloud gaming one day ps4 the other

[Lucreto]

1. Announce in May with a few tech demos and some small features.

2. At E3 talk about Gaikai, some first software for launch. Price and final specs.

[USEYOURFIST]

Makes sense to announce after the last of us, am looking forward to next gen but all these rumour articles are going to get very annoying over the next few months

[SuperSonic266]

LOCKED AND LOADED BABY!!

strap ya seat belts in, because this is going to be one bumpy ride!!

All aboard the hype train!!

[Conzul]

'Tis the bestest train!

[Cam977]

'Best' is already in superlative form, thus there is no need to bolt 'est' onto the end of it.

[Sandmano]

If anything warrants a hype train its next gen, for once a hype train that makes sence...

[TotalHitman]

Bumpy Ride song seems appropriate http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Walker]

7th may, The Last of Us will released
8th may, sony will reveal PlayStation 4 !

[Conzul]

That's the spirit! Though May 10-15 is more realistic.

[FACTUAL evidence]

Wouldn't that be cool if Sony's last game before the ps4 was "The Last of Us"? Epic.

[EliteDave93]

Would be kinda stupid to reveal PS4 the day after the Last Of Us release. It would totally overshadow the game.

[Walker]

I know, That were just an example.

[DeletedAcc]

Epic!!!

[Prodigy-X]

I feel like it going to be on May 21, 2013 when they reveal it.

[Hanso]

Sony: Release the kraken!
..eh i mean drop the Uncharted 4 bomb !

[nukeitall]

Ironically, the kraken is a creature that nobody really has seen.

Surely you wouldn't want Uncharted 4 to be mentioned and sighted, but never released. :D

[Hanso]

surely not ^^

[hellvaguy]

How do you know for sure no one has ever seen a kraken?

[tommygunzII]

A 30' squid could be mistaken for a kraken.

[BitbyDeath]

Actually a kraken was just found recently.

http://www.foxnews.com/scie...

[sdplisken]

didnt you see the gow ascension trailer?

[FoxHound_]

The Last of Us and a possible showing of the ps4... Sounds like a good month to me!

[PS4isKing_82]

This will be one of the biggest years in gaming in quite some time.
I haven't been this excited since the ps2/GameCube days.

[steve30x]

I hope GT6 gets announced for the PS4

[tommygunzII]

Not sure whats up with the disagrees. PD has been working on GT6 for years now, it should be ready for the PS4 launch.

[steve30x]

Thats N4G for you. You just get used to it after a while.

[BitbyDeath]

@stefan771, games would be made within the specs of the dev boxes they are provided.

[xtreampro]

So now we're posting week old news?

[MasterCornholio]

Time for Sony to drop a nuke on the current generation of consoles.

[RuleofOne343]

Or better yet be prepared to get 2 dropped on them. ha ha ha ha ha ha

[CrustifiedDibbs]

JUST UNVEIL IT ALREADY!!!!!! The suspense is killing me.

[remanutd55]

Just gimme Motorstorm World Tour as ps4 launch title and i will be extremely Happy sony oh and the game looking and playing like the original trailer with more settings like Island, Water, Ice.
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Gorbenshore]

I agree. A new Motorstorm game that matches the 2005 CGI trailer would be fantastic. The PS4 should definitely pull it off.

[ziggurcat]

a reveal =/= a release date, so don't all get your hopes up too high.

[lovegames718]

Many loyalists will be happy that day and rejoice and many haters will be envious and mad at the world lol

[stage88]

Looks like Sony will be the first with their next gen console.
Bring it on!

[TheNocturnus]

Wii U says hi.

[stage88]

Well technically you're right but I don't class the Wii U in the same standard as the next gen Playstation and Xbox.

The Wii U fits more in comparison to the PS3 and 360. We all know that the next gen systems are hinted to be exceedingly more powerful.

[Ezz2013]

nothing on wii u is next gen
at best all what i saw look as good as most 3rd party titles on consoles

[cedaridge]

I don't see how its coming out in May when Kaz already stated that "We will let Microsoft make the 1st move to next gen?" But if it is May? I'm ready, Bring on the PS4.

[morkendo23]

poor stage88 they ignored you again haaaaaaaaaa

meanwhile: interesting to see the out come soon in may.

[DivineAssault]

who cares what MS does? reveal & launch before em! Most of the US may go nutts over another xbox but not everyone else..

[tommygunzII]

This will be a much better launch than the PS3. Microsoft better come strong, Sony will be ready this time.

[VforVideogames]

Sony will be ready this time? i dont think so, sony needs to announce the ps4 first but its not going to happen wish means history will repeat. 3rd place again for sony.(sad face)

[Hicken]

What are you basing that on, Pachter Jr.?

[alb1899]

last of us will be overshadow already with 720

[LOL_WUT]

It'll be funny that whatever they are planning to announce is anything BUT the PS4.

[Pillsbury1]

Sony is bringing it yet again, can't wait for ps4 release!

[Soldierone]

They could do what they did with the PS3 and let website help market and talk about it. When PS3 was announced, they sent units to Gamespot etc and they all opened it up, and showed off more gameplay etc....

The plan could be "May reveal, talk more at E3, let websites dig into it, talk more at Gamescom etc" Vita had a similar route.

Just get rid of the sales talk at E3 entirely, no one cares. We are not stockholders, we are gamers and retailers etc.... If MS takes shots, let them, sony has Vita, PS3, and PS4 to talk about now.

[TBONEJF]

I GOT GOOSEBUMPS

[HorrorGod]

Watch it just be the "PSVita Go" or something. :P

With both Microsoft and Sony teasing their official announcements of the next consoles, I so can not wait for this year's E3.

[mamotte]

And so, the countdown for doom articles... begin.

[WeskerChildReborned]

Cool, hopefully all these rumors are true.

[inFAMOUS_KRATOS]

playstation 4 live in your world get owned in ours

[Prodigy-X]

What's up with Xbox and Nintendo fans randomly disagreeing with the comments about the PS4.

[linkenski]

So this whole thing about Sony letting Microsoft shoot first is wrong?

[inFAMOUS_KRATOS]

i hope is huge, i wish sony success and i will get one on lunch day, playstation will live
