Sony’s PS4 and Microsoft’s next Xbox will both be launched by the end of the year, an analyst has claimed.
As reported by MCV, Baird Equity Research’s Colin Sebastian said the PS4 will be released in October, while Microsoft will launch the new Xbox in November.
He further stated that the next-generation hardware from both companies will also be revealed at E3 in June, and will be built from ‘off the shelf’ high-end PC components.
Sebastian added he expected the consoles to use hybrid physical/digital distribution models, enhanced voice controls and motion sensing – with Kinect integrated with every Xbox.
He said however that “early production issues” could delay the PS4’s release.
