Forums - Sony - PS4: Ohh, but which "Holiday" Mr. Tretton?

It will release in November, along with the ONE.

No way they have the same launch date.

What mean "Holiday" in US? Oct-Dec?

November-Dec.  Refers to the period from Thanksgiving (fourth Thursday in November - 21st this year) to New Year's Day.  I can't see Sony releasing a console the week of Thanksgiving/Black Friday, so I think that week is out.  Given that XBox One is releasing in November and Sony will most likely try to beat them to market, I'm predicting it will release before November 17th--the day PS3 released in the US in 2006.  PS3 released on a Friday and games are typically released on Tuesdays, so I'm not sure what to make of that...



It would awesome if they could launch alongside Assassins Creed 4. I'm sure it would make many casual AC fans consider the PS4, even though they probably wouldn't buy a console at launch.

I will predict two dates for November...

November 1, 2013
November 8, 2013

And one date for October...

October 25, 2013

I think Nov 1 is really a great date.

 

This would be very nostalgic from Sony.   Releasing just one day before the PS2 launch completes 13 years in the US.

PS2 was released in october 26th in the year 2000.

I get that now... most countries don't have Thanksgiving and the holidays period (shopping period at the end of the year) started way before... the deals, discounts, etc for the Christmas starts in November or even early...

Isn't it obvious? Any date the PS4 is released is automatically a holiday.



17 November in the US.
EU around the same time.
