PlayStation 4 Release Date Expected Around November; Amazon, Toys R Us And Other UK Retailers Halt Pre-Orders
An official PlayStation 4 release date is not yet announced but it seems that the demand for the next-generation game console from Sony is already very high.
Although there is no confirmation yet, reports about PlayStation 4 release date point to a 4th quarter, or more specifically, a November arrival of the console to make it in time for the holiday and shopping season.
Telegraph specified that even though a PlayStation 4 release date has not been set yet, it is expected in the UK that it will arrive before December, "allowing it to compete with the new Xbox for a slice of the Christmas market."
A set date has not been announced for the PlayStation 4's release - the first new version of the console in seven years - but it is expected to be out in the UK before December, allowing it to compete with the new Xbox for a slice of the Christmas market.
However, due to high demand, reports that originated from a post at The Sun are claiming that Sony has already instructed Tesco, Asda, Toys R Us and Amazon to halt pre-ordering for the PlayStation 4. It also triggered speculations that Microsoft may follow suit in the next days.
Stuart Miles, the editor gadget site, Pocket Link, told "Both companies have had far more pre-orders than expected. This is good for both firms but they need to ensure they can meet demand. Problems longer term can seriously dent sales."
The PlayStation 4 will arrive with a Blue-ray drive for games and movies, as well as USB and Ethernet ports. The highly anticipate game console will also be equipped with Wifi and Bluetooth connections.
