Sony dates Gamescom press conference
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.

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

ExoticWolfs-Cody I think Xbox One and PS4 will launch in the same month.
Yeah, i can see that happening. Right around the same time I am sure.
It's likely that they will be launched within 2 weeks of eachother. If not then you will have more people buying the Xbox One initially

xMatchTricksxFTW I understand Europe is a big audience, but no delay? Do they realize how big delays will be on other continents?
I'm sure they do, that's why they're releasing first in main Countries.
