I think, the first in the world that the ps4 should have the launch is in Japan., after all Sony is a Japanese brand, right?
Yeah, but Microsoft isn’t really any competition for Sony in Japan, which is why they wanted to release in Europe and especially the US first.
Good stuff 😀
glad their live streaming it as well!!
Can’t wait to see him there. And I can’t wait to see new announcements ^__^
Are you actually going to be there?
Might do or not. I’ll probably would watch it live streaming. You?
I might check out some of the live stream, depends on the time.
