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

Adinnieken said:
There are only 6 national holidays in the US:

New Years Day
Easter
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Thanksgiving Day
and Christmas Day

There Federal/Bank holidays, however they aren't traditionally observed by schools or businesses as days off. In addition there are nationally recognized days, but these are not holidays. Mother's Day and Father's Day are an example.

The "holiday" part of the OP was more a joke.  The real purpose of this thread is simple release date speculation.  Just thought that would be a fun way to kick it off.

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


Shit, this man has solved the puzzle.



4 ≈ One

I'm pretty sure the gaming business considers "Holiday" as a season of sorts. It's not a specific day, it just means in November/December area. Just because they say "Holiday" doesn't mean it'll be released on a Holiday at all.



Early November possibly with Battlefield 4



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

I'm thinking October 29th or 17th. 17th just because of LoU. 29th because don't AC and BF4 launch that day? I'm thinking the people who preordered Watch Dogs bundle on Amazon are going to be pissed because I don't think they'd delay that much. If production goes well they'll get it out by October and there's been no production delays reported (or at least not very many I've heard that sound credible).

Watch Dogs has been announced as a PS4 launch game, and the other versions of that game are coming out November 20th.

The PS4 is coming out November/December

Possibly, but that really doesnt mean much. Watch Dogs could come out for other platforms and then later for the Ps4 on launch day.



I hope they release before the X1. I can see the PS4 releasing late October at the earliest.

Amazon email indicates PlayStation 4 being prepped for shipping

"What does this mean? This can mean one of two things. The first is that Sony is shocking the video game industry with a surprise release. The date is just a placeholder release date that we are used to seeing until the launch date is officially announced and this is being generated into the emails. If it were a surprise launch, the system will transfer the date as indicated on the site.

While this could be a possibility, the second thing it could possibly mean, which is probably the most accurate assumption, is that Amazon messed up and these emails were generated and sent out in error."

As far as I know, those holidays don't even exist in all (probably most) countries they plan to launch in, and I'm under the impression they were talking pretty internationally.

Are these your predictions or NeoGaf's?

It means it won't come a month before! I think it will come a week or two before or after
