Sony launches PlayStation 4 to compete with Xbox.

Sony brought out their new weapons against Microsoft, to announce that its new PlayStation 4 console will cost $ 399, $ 100 less than its competitor Xbox One.

"The landscape of video games is changing with new business models and new ways to play," said Andrew House, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment.
The announcement of the price was not the only salvo fired against Microsoft at the launch of Sony in the annual industry trade show Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). The biggest applause for the company came when Jack Tretton, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America, announced that the company would not try to restrict sales of used games. Tretton also said that the PS4 will not require a permanent internet connection.
"The games on disc for PlayStation 4 will not need to connect to the internet to play or any type of authentication," said Tretton. "If you enjoy playing individual games offline, the PS4 will not ask you to connect each individual and will not stop working if you have not logged in 24 hours."
Microsoft has been criticized for its vague comments on whether to allow users to use your Xbox One games for sale, and its requirement that the new console is connected to the Internet at least once every 24 hours.
Beyond these issues, Sony gave to prospective buyers expect PS4 lot of games this year. Santa Monica Studios Company, developers of the franchise "God of War", presented the story set in the Victorian era "The Order: 1866". Quantic Dream, the French study creator of "Heavy Rain" and the upcoming "Beyond: Two Souls", presented a comic look at fantasy "The Dark Sorcerer".
Shu Yoshida, president of Sony Worldwide Studios, said studies of the company have over 30 games for PS4 in development, including 12 new franchises.
Sony also introduced to PS4 game images previously announced as "InFamous: Second Son", while several independent developers of new generation had titers in the event of Sony.
Bungie, creator of the hit series "Halo" Xbox, presented the first images of the highly anticipated game action title "Destiny". In total, Tretton said, more than 140 developing PS4 games.
Like Microsoft, Sony bet big on social networking functions. The new version of the DualShock controller includes a button to "share" that allows you to post pictures of what is being played.
Friends can watch while you play, and you can even let a friend take care from afar to spend an uphill battle. AP
