Sony PlayStation 4 to be launched in India on 18th Dec 2013
Sony has decided to launch its most awaited next generation gaming console PlayStation 4 in India on December 18. Meanwhile, there has been no announcement from Microsoft on the launch or availability of Xbox One in India. So that Sony 1-0 over MS.
The latest console from the Japanese company has already got off to a flying start, with more than 2.1 million units having been sold in the month since launch.
Sony PS4 is the successor to the PS3, which was launched in 2006. PS4 was first launched in the US on November 15, followed by Europe, Australia and UAE. The India launch of the console is scheduled ahead of countries such as Japan, Indonesia and Singapore. In the US, PS4 costs $400 (Rs 25,000).
Sony has not announced the price of the console in India, but given the $399 price in the US, we are expecting the price tag to sport a number close to the Rs 30,000 mark. While the imminent launch is indeed good news for gamers in the country, the PS4 has got off to a slow start as far as new titles are concerned.
The PS4 has an AMD-based x86 processor will be powering the console. It has 8GB of unified high-speed memory and a 500GB hard drive. The new controller, DualShock 4, has a touch pad with a share button, a headphone jack and a light bar to identify players. The Share button on the controller will let you upload any video you from your console quickly to video services such as YouTube. Videos are automatically uploaded while you play a game.
One of the coolest features of the PS4 is that it can download games in the background, even when the system is powered off. Games can also be played while they’re being downloaded.
Pricing and availability details in India will be known after the launch. Keep checking !!!
