{{After almost a year of rumors and whispers, Sony has finally revealed the worst kept secret in gaming: The PlayStation 4 is on the way.}}<\/p>\n
At a lavish press event in New York, the company showed off its next-generation console, a system it hopes will lure people away not only from competing machines from Microsoft and Nintendo, but from smart phones, tablets and other new gaming platforms.<\/p>\n
It will be released this holiday season, though the company didn\u2019t announce a price.<\/p>\n
While the PS4 will feature improved graphical performance, Sony plans to use more than flashy hardware to appease finicky gamers. <\/p>\n
The system will highlight social aspects, such as the ability to share gaming footage. It will include a new version of the company\u2019s classic DualShock game controller, now featuring a touchpad, motion controls, and a built-in \u2018share\u2019 button.<\/p>\n
Other features to look forward to include much quicker startup times, the ability to browse live gameplay videos of your friends and a partnership with Facebook and UStream that lets people play with their real world friends, as well as people they’ve met in games.<\/p>\n
