The PlayStation 4 (abbreviated as PS4) is a home video game console developed by Sony

Computer Entertainment. It was developed as early as 2008, announced by February 20, 2013 and was
released on November 15, 2013 in the United States. The PlayStation 4 places an increased emphasis
on social interaction and integration with other devices and services, including the ability to play
games off-console on PlayStation Vita and supported Sony Xperia mobile devices ("Remote Play"),
the ability to stream gameplay online or to friends, with them controlling gameplay remotely. One of
its competitors are Xbox, Nintendo and Wii U. At a PlayStation official event in New York (USA) in
September 2016 Sony officially announced a new redesigned PS4, the CUH-2000 series, (known
colloquially as the "PS4 slim") for the base 500GB model.[14][15] According to a Sony press release the
new model (CUH-2000) was 16% lighter and used 28% less energy than the CUH-1200 series.[14] A
1TB model at 34,980 Yen was also announced.[14] At the same event a more powerful variant, named
the "PS4 Pro" was also announced, designed for 4K and HDR displays.[16]
