Sony prepares closed-doors industry event ahead of PS4 reveal

**mankind** · 01-07-2013

Sony Computer Entertainment America is sending out invites to selected industry partners for a closed-doors event in February.

'Destination PlayStation' is an annual conference hosted by PlayStation's US arm for third-party publishers and a number of retailers. In an invite notice, the two-day event is said to provide a "first look at amazing new releases from SCEA". "Third-party publishers will be on-hand to discuss their plans for 2013," Sony added.
Set just a few weeks before the annual E3 showcase - where Sony is reportedly set to reveal its PlayStation 4 system - the Destination PlayStation event could provide some initial details for industry partners on the next-gen console.
Sony needs industry relationships to be as strong as ever as it prepares to launch a new system.
While the event will primarily focus on PS3 and Vita titles, the PlayStation 4 is likely to be discussed either formally or informally. It is rumoured, though not confirmed, that Microsoft may reveal its next generation Xbox before E3 - a strategy it adopted with the Xbox 360.
Sony recently turned heads after winning a patent that would eliminate pre-owned games sales on next-gen systems.

Maybe Japan and the rest in march 2014?

I have a feeling one of the next gen consoles will be released for us this year.

It's very possible, If they announce it in Feb with the rest announcing in e3 I don't see why its not possible for this years release

**Nitey** · 01-07-2013

Still don't think we'll see anything. I hope we do though

**daLa** · 01-07-2013

We shall see.

**Blacksite** · 01-07-2013

I don't think it'd be a stretch to expect both Sony and Microsoft to unveil their next-gen consoles at E3.

well i hope it is the PS4 because i wonder if a leak, a real leak will happen

I definitely see this happening at a point. I'm wondering what went on in there.

**coolguy** · 01-08-2013

i bet it launchs late 2013 early 2014. but it wont be a year after the 720 may be 1 or 2 months

**Syphon_Filter** · 01-10-2013

I can't wait for PS4.

**Cybertox** · 01-10-2013

We might see it and its announcement this year, but the console may not official come out in store until 2014.

**ps3freak18** · 01-12-2013

I think we will not get the PS4 globally until say March 2014. I think it will come out in Japan around November of this year though. Just a guess. But I have been saying for the past few years that the PS4 will release in 2013. So I may be semi right. Just didn't factor it being in Japan. Only time will tell.

If it is the PS4, a real "leak" WILL happen

Sony needs to focus on getting this out in NA first. Level some of the ground with Call of Duty and Microsoft's biggest market.

Japan is going to eat up the ps4 over the 720 for certain and EU will more than likely run with the ps4 over the 720(ps3 launched over a year late there and has more sales than the 360).

Agreed. Sony should do a hard launch in the US first. EU and Japan will jump all over PS4 over 720 so no sweat there.

You are definitely right here. If Sony was smart they would try to get the leg up in US this time around. They suffered because of the 360 beating them to the punch last time. They still need to focus on the rest of the world but they need to have a strong outing in the US this time to get back to the PS2 type years. The rest of the world should eat up the PS4 regardless.
