Playstation 4 Announced.

That's right, Sony has announced that the new PlayStation 4 game console will be coming out in the 2013 Holiday season. Although there is no set cost or pictures released of what the console will look like, this is still a major deal to the gaming community. It is confirmed that it will be called the PlayStation 4 or Ps4 though.

The Ps4 offers new features that allow interaction between tablets, smartphones, and the PlayStation Vita, also called the Ps Vita. According to Venturebeat, you will even be able to stream games from the Ps4 to the Ps Vita. There will also be the option to play games while they are still downloading. This feature is just ridiculously awesome as downloading games from the Playstation Store onto your Playstations hard drive may take around 30 minutes or more and when the game is downloading you obviously want something to do to kill the time between you and playing the game you just got so what better why than to play the game itself. As for the specs, this console will be as powerful as modern PC's, which is pretty impressive for a console, it also comes with a Blu-Ray player, like it's previous version, the PlayStation 3. Even though there was no reveal of what the console will look like, a picture of the new DualShock 4, the PlayStation 4's control was released.

Sony has been second bested by Microsoft in the gaming industry by their Xbox 360, outselling Sony's PlayStation 3. Sony has high hopes for their PlayStation 4 with it's new features and hopes it trumps over whatever console Microsoft puts out.
