At last, after rumors and code names and yadda yadda, we finally have a definitive name to call Sony’s next-gen video game system. Set to release this holiday season, the PlayStation 4 has officially been confirmed and announced at Sony’s PlayStation Meeting that took place in New York this evening.
The system aims to make all titles –from the PS1 era to the PS Vita– backwards compatible, thanks to Sony’s acquirement of Gaikai, as well as make all PS4 title playable on the PS Vita via remote play. Downloadable titles have also been said to be playable as you download them, which is nice due to how long downloads can take on the current PlayStation 3.
Pricing, release date, nor the system itself were discussed or shown, but that was to be expected, really. And hey, at least we know it exists.
