PlayStation 4 queues begin to form ahead of Friday's UK launch
People in Britain have so much eager to get their hands on the new Playstation 4. They have already started queueing in central London, 2 days before its official launch. Friday was the day when it was the day when it is officially going to be on sale. Sony have announced that people who have no pre-ordered the console, will be able to get one at midnight launch event in Convent Garden. People started pre-ordering them in August. Customers who are queueing for their consoles will be able to watch a performance by the rapper Tinie Tempah and will be given pizza and energy drinks to keep them awake. Sony's UK & Ireland managing director, Fergal Gara, said:"We really wanted to offer some way for people to buy on launch day, and this is a fantastic opportunity for anyone that hasn't already pre-ordered to get their hands on a PS4 on day one. "The excitement in the run-up to our UK launch has been phenomenal, and we want to thank gamers for their support by giving them the chance to take a PS4 home at the earliest opportunity.The new console launches across the UK on November 29, priced at £349, with over 400 stores hosting special midnight openings on 28 November.
Key facts/ statistics
The PS4 is billed as being 10 times faster than its predecessor, the PlayStation 3, which was released in 2006. It has a Blu-Ray/DVD optical drive, digital video recording, 8GB DDR5 RAM, an 8 core single-chip x86 AMD Jaguar CPU, AMD Radeon graphics core next engine GPU, 500GB removable hard drive and internal power supply.
My view: I believe that Sony will still be making a vital amount of money due to the success of the consoles made in the past. The fact that people who have not pre-ordered, already started queueing up two days before the launch, shows that it will be a big success. Even though people now days are much more in too smartphones, I believe that this game console would still be a big success and Sony will generate a really good amount of money from it. I think the reason why Sony have launched the console in the end of December is because they know it's christmas and they will get loads of sales. Sony will sell a big amount of consoles to people as they will buy them for presents and for themselves.
