Executive Summary

1.0 Introduction

1.1 The Year 2013 will be a rapid increase in competition with the two other major gaming devices in the market. These include Microsoft “Next” Xbox and Nintendo Wii U. As a part of Sony Malaysia Berhad, Sony Computer Entertainment Sdn Bhd will be launching the Playstation 4 in the fourth quarter of 2013.
1.2 The Playstation 4 (PS4) will be the the second eight-generation console to be officially confirmed. The first was Nintendo’s Wii U. It will also be the fourth game console in Sony’s Playstation series.
1.3 PlayStation 4 will be the first in the Sony series to feature compatibility with the x86-64 instruction set, which is a widely used platform common in many modern PCs. The idea is to make video game development easier on the next-generation console, attracting a broader range of developers large and small. These changes highlight Sony's effort to improve upon the lessons learned during the development, production and release of the PS3.
1.4 The main competitor will be Nintendo Wii U. Since its release in November 2012, the Wii U has been plagued by lower-than-expected sales and a lack of must-own games. But, as $299 (Basic Set) or $350 (Deluxe Set) it’s likely to be the least expensive of the two other game consoles, which should guarantee it a certain level of long-term market share.

    Xbox One has both High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) input and output whereas the PS4 has only the output. The PS4 has no USB ports for flash drives or any headset that needs a USB plugged in the system. Xbox One now has two USB ports for flash drives for extra storage and allows you to use a mouse and keyboard to play (if the game is compatible). Xbox One and PS4 both have more power than their predecessors and both Microsoft and Sony have used the past models design flaws to improve the latest consoles. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is a chip manufacturer that makes the hardware chips for both consoles, the Xbox One has a 1.75 GHz AMD 8-core CPU, while the PS4 has a 1.6 GHz AMD 8-core CPU.

    There are few professional sports rivalries that compare to that of the Yankees and the Red Sox or the Flyers and the Penguins. Well since the year 2006 when Playstation 3 was released there has been a much heated rivalry between the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3.
