The PlayStation 4 will have a "supercharged PC architecture" and new features that will make it easier to stream games and share content over social networks.
The $400 PS4 will start shipping Friday in the U.S. and Canada, with release in various other countries through December and it will be available in Japan in February. Sony's flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York was displaying signs Wednesday welcoming customers to line up. Advance orders have been strong, Sony said.
Sony tried to simplify the hardware architecture of the PS4 to reduce the cost of the console, while future-proofing it to last as long as 10 years, said Dominic Mallinson, vice president of research and development of Sony Computer Entertainment America, in a webcast keynote speech Wednesday at AMD's Developer Summit in San Jose, Calif.
