Sony's new gaming console, the Playstation 4, came out yesterday and from what was released it looks like it could be a hit. As is typical with an updated console the graphics on the screen and the performance under the hood will be pumped up past the specs of their competitors. But not only does the PS4 come with some fancy new hardware but with some innovative new software. They created a 3D modeling program that integrates their PS move handset into the PS4 allowing them to create 3D models and alter others designs. They have also jumped onto the sharing and connectivity bandwagon by adding a new share button onto their controller that allows the user to share their game's progress with friends on Facebook, Twitter, other PS4 users and more. This new technology allows game creators more freedom to make bigger, better games.
In my opinion the new PS4 sounds like it will be worth it but rumors say that it could cost up to $600. Most of their eager consumers can not or will not pay this kind of price for it. The technology may be new and innovative and the software may look fun and engaging but the price is not worth is for things that the consumer has not tested yet. Sony may have to lower the price or throw in a few more features ti make the launch a success.
