Sony dates Gamescom press conference

4.6
Sony will host its Gamescom press conference on August 20, the platform holder has confirmed.

The event will take place at the Saatenhaus am Rheinpark in Cologne, starting at 7pm CET (6pm UK), reports MCV.

Sony conferences are typical at Gamescom, with the firm having used the event to announce the first slim PS3, hardware price cuts and major software titles.

Microsoft will host its press conference on the same day, and it will be critical for both firms to impress, with the expected arrivals of Xbox One and PS4 looming ever closer.

With Sony expecting Microsoft to tackle Europe more aggressively, it was indicated to CVG by a Sony insider that PlayStation is "prepared to do whatever it takes" to ensure success in Europe - its first step being to ensure there is no PS4 delay across Europe.

While Xbox One has been given a November launch window, Sony is yet to be more specific than its projected "holiday 2013" launch for PS4.

Industry analysts have deemed it in both firms' best interest to launch first in order to grab an early spotlight over the competitor.

slapshot101 This conference didn't really show/ tell us much about the console or the games, it was kind of a disappointment compared to the Xbox conference which they took a huge stance on Europe, with FIFA.


I agree, but I'm not in Europe, nor am I a fan of FIFA. Although Xbox made a good impression at gamescom, I am still planning on buying a PS4.

Gossip I just want to know the release date.


They will likely tell us an official release date some time in the next few months. I will be surprised if they don't


They will for sure because it should come out during the holiday season.

Rouchelle I think Xbox One and PS4 will launch in the same month.


Probably. One company is going to try to get the upper hand on the other.

I hope so. PS4 would be making a mistake by not launching the same month
