Games-wise, the PS4 certainly has plenty of support: according to Sony Computer Entertainment America CEO Jack Tretton, there are currently over 140 games in development for it, of which 100 will launch in the first year of its existence – around 40 will be PS4 exclusives.Ī question-mark still remains as to how many games will be available at launch - and that's one area in which the Xbox One may well have the upper hand, as Microsoft showed a slightly more compelling portfolio of full-blown exclusive games at its press conference earlier in the day – unsurprisingly, given that developer kits for the Xbox One have been with developers longer than their PS 4 counterparts.ĭespite that, Sony clearly has a much stronger line-up of smaller (and invariably quirkier) download games from indie developers in the pipeline for the PS4 than Microsoft does for the Xbox One.Īnd it unveiled an incredibly long list of download indie games under development for the PS4, which will help plug any gaps in the console's launch window games line-up. We also now know what the PS4 looks like – pleasant enough, if unremarkably boxy, and surprisingly small.
It often indicates a user profile.Īt the Japanese company's typically bombastic E3 press conference – the last act of the traditional day of press conferences prior to the show's proper opening – we learned that the PlayStation 4 will go on sale before the end of the year at a cost of £349 (significantly less than the Xbox One's £429 RRP), and that it will completely eschew any of the Draconian digital rights management (DRM) measures which Microsoft has mooted for the Xbox One, leaving PS4 owners just as free to sell or redistribute second-hand games as PS3 owners are now.
