Forums - Sony Discussion - 2013 UK PS4 Launch Confirmed

YES! For the first time, we won't get shafted..



Around the Network

Just like i expected, it is going to launch in Japan, U.S. and U.K. in 2013, the rest of the world later. U.K. is a market that prefers Microsoft, they don't want to give them a headstart there.

So Sony intends to launch in Europe this year....

The PS3 was announced for launch in Europe at the same time as America, but was delayed. I feel that Sony is going to prioritise Europe more this time, especially as they don't want to give Microsoft any advantage time wise.

I really really really hope that it does come to the UK this year, it would make me so happy

Yeah they wouldn't want to loose that advantage against Microsoft here in Europe. But I'm not if UK release means Sony will include all of Europe...

It seems odd they wouldn't release in Japan first. So either a similtaneous launch or...

If you think about it the one place where Sony don't need to launch first is Japan. They are guranteed a victory over Microsoft there regardless; thus the primary goal for them should be to launch in Europe and US by the end of the year.

Well I did read that Sony's plan with regard to worldwide supply is to focus on Europe and America. They'll launch at the same time in Japan, but their main concern will be to keep supply in Europe and America more than Japan, where Microsoft isn't going to be gaining any ground



ah this is a proper console :)



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

Uk speaks english, mainland europe is a different story. But I won't get my hopes up, its looks like a global 2013 launch.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

Worldwide release baby because even Brazil will have a 2013 release.
