The release of the Move could bring the release of the PS4 closer

Sony unveiled its Move system Wednesday March 10, 2010 at the Game Developers conference.  The system will be available as a kit that includes the Move controller, a PlayStation Eye camera, and a Move game for the PlayStation 3.

The Move will allow gamers to play the new games as if they were part of the action. It will be similar to the Wii but more advanced. The Eye camera detects the exact location and movements of the controllers. The Eye also has voice and image recognition which will allow for alternate reality games.

The Move made make it a good idea of Sony to release the PlayStation 4 sooner. The PS3 won’t allow four player to use the Move remote and subcontroller which is required for some games. The PS4 might have more Bluetooth ports which will allow for more players using the Move remotes and subcontroller.

The Playstation 4 Release

The Playstation 4 is believed to be the next console to hit shelves, but lets take a look at why… With many experts beginning to believe the next generation of consoles can be just around the corner, lets look at some different reasons why the Playstation 4 may be the first console to hit the shelves, but it is unlikely that any console will this year or next.

I don’t expect the PS4 to be released until late 2011 at the earliest, probably 2012. The PS3 has had very poor sales, so Sony would make the next console as soon as possible to re boost consumer interest.

Nintendo Wii is doing just fine, so they wouldn’t be in a rush. Remember as of now they are still the leader, by far, when it comes to motion sensitive controls, and only need to offer a new console (or addon?) to provide the Nintendo Wii in HD.

Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is doing okay, could be better but I don’t believe any new console is rapidly approaching from them.The Xbox, like the Playstation, has built a following but the majority of the players are content, and not yet looking for much from Microsoft in terms of a new console. The biggest advantage that the Xbox 360 has had in it’s favor over the last generation of consoles, is it’s early release date… Yet the console has fallen short in terms of developing an audience that is loyal, or at least nearly as loyal as the Playstation audience has become.

With the most recent price cut however, sales may pick up substantially which may even accelerate Sony’s position in this seventh generation of video games competition. Just when you thought PS3 lost for sure, it got right back up and ready to compete. The Playstation will be a constant favorite of real gamers, the console has some of the most advanced features, and Playstation has always carried some of the greatest game titles.

Sony Playstation 4 Release Date

There is a lot of rumors and assumptions about when the Playstation 4 will be released, some believe that it could be as soon as early 2010. Although it is believed to be highly unlikely that Sony will release the Playstation 4 with so little time left to hype it up. Personally we believe with so many rumors still circling about regarding the exact equipment and design of the Sony PS4, it is unlikely there will be a launch before 2012… although we have our fingers crossed!

Looking for the Playstation Move?

The main thing that is holding off the next generation of Playstation, and the release of the Sony PS4, is the PS3. Playstation 3 was built with such amazing design, minus the few flaws associated with the Blue Ray players, the Playstation 3 is still hands down the best video game console on the market today. Producing the best and most advanced games available the Sony PS3 is going to be a hard console to top… But we know the Playstation 4 will blow it away!

Many tech gurus out there believe that it is most likely for the Playstation 4 to be released either in 2011 or 2013, for different reasons for each date. As long as there are so many rumors regarding the release date, there is nothing set in stone just yet.

There will certainly be a Playstation 4, it has been on the drawing boards since before the launch of the Playstation 3, but there is no way that Sony could have known the power and technology that would be available to them today… keeping with the trend of putting out the most impressive game consoles possible expect the Playstation 4 to blow away all expectations upon release, and surprise the computer world again with the processor speed and capabilities of yet another mind blowing console from Sony.

**UPDATE**
This year’s announcements from Sony have come and gone, and they have introduced some really amazing stuff… But the Playstation 4 is not one of them… No worries though, between the amazing motion control game capabilities of the Playstation Move Games and the 3d gaming introduced to the Playstation 3, this is a great year for gamers.
