It’s been one hell of an evening for PlayStation.
Gamescom hasn’t even offiically started yet, and the platform holder has already announced a slew of new IP and exclusive games, no less than two price cuts – oh, and the release date of PlayStation 4.
The next-generation console will be released in North America on November 15th and Europe on November 29th, with 32 countries due to receive the device on either of these dates.
There will be 33 titles at launch, encompassing a mix of retail and digital titles, and price cuts to both PS3 and Vita – plus discounts for cross-generation titles and the premium PlayStation Plus service – should bring more gamers into the PlayStation fold.
