Sony and Microsoft exhibited their respective consoles, the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One, at the Electronic Entertainment Expo. Significantly, the companies indicated that the PS4 will sell for $399 compared to $499 for the Xbox One. Bloomberg reported that pre-orders for the PS4 exceed those for the Xbox One at both Amazon and Gamestop and cited the Xbox One’s restrictions on game sharing as a drawback for the console.
According to Bloomberg, Sony has delayed a decision to begin selling its console in Asia before the end of the year in order to
meet strong demand from the US and Europe.
