Ahead of new Xbox launch, Sony releases PS4 trailer

Microsoft is due to launch the new Xbox 720 today but rival Sony has taken the  opportunity to showcase the hardware design of its PlayStation 4. Sony had originally launched the PS4 in February, but it didn’t show the actual gaming console, leaving fans and tech enthusiasts both confused and angry. However, today the company has put out a trailer of the PS4, which again does not reveal much. All you can see is PS4’s hardware with a blurry black rectangle and flashes of design details. The video says that the device will be launched at 10 June during the company’s E3 presentation. E3 is the Electronics, Entertainment Expo, an annual video game conference.
