Sony has announced the release date for PlayStation 4 - November 29th
The home console will arrive in 32 countries in the same month as Xbox One, although Microsoft has yet to date its machine. It sets November up as potentially the biggest month for video games retail.
It will arrive in North America on November 15th, followed by Europe on November 29th.
The announcement came at the close of Sony's pre-Gamescom press conference. The event was filled with a plethora of quirkly and independently-developed titles for PS Vita and PS4.
The next-gen console has already racked up 1m pre-orders worldwide.
