Seems a week to early to me. How many third party titles would even be ready at this date?

One day after my birthday. That will be just fine.

This makes absolutely zero sense.

Now if Sony could announce some more interesting games at Gamecom to give me incentive buying that thing on launch day, they would get my money earlier than expected.

You ain't getting a deal on a brand new system
Maybe a bundle, but a little cheaper depending on the bundle
No way in hell any retailer is going to slash PS4 or X1 for BF
Your better to keep your Pre-Order and get it that way
I've been doing Black Friday since 2008, so 5 years, I have some good experience on what will be sold @ what prices
Best Buy might give you their white glove geek squad warranty at a 25% discount or they throw in a charger cradle/extra controller/maybe a PS $$ Card or PS+ 1 year service and sell PS4 @$499 to match X1
Walmart would do the same thing
No retailer is going to take a loss on those consoles, none are that desperate for traffic
If it's true then developers are aware and they're crunching hard to be ready. No doubt you would stuff like ACIV and Battlefield 4 move up a week.
I think it is. It's a week before Battlefield 4 and all the November releases. It doesn't make sense. They'll have a much stronger launch lineup waiting a week or two.
Get the new Vita into people's hands, let them see what it's all about, flaunt how it's going to integrate with the PS4 to get people hyped for that...
I just can't see it launching so soon. MAYBE launching the 29th with Battlefield 4.

This would be welcome for sure. Been holding out for a Vita revision with internal storage.
Let's fucking get to work people!
You're joking if you think it'll be on sale a month later.
I would absolutely not run the risk of maybe getting Knack for $39.99 a month later.

The only thing that sucks if it launched that date is that the 2 games I preordered with it (BF4 and AC4) won't be out yet.

Seems early but awesome. Should leave me with enough time to save up some extra $$$ to snag a few more games than I expected.
It will probably be sold out for weeks after launch anyway.

Dat Halloween marketing, "You're in for a treat with the PS4" or something that someone else can come up with lol
I might cancel mine since there really aren't any games I want coming out for it for a while. Still have PS3 to catch up on

The planets are aligning.
3rd party been ready at launch not really that big a deal it more are 1st party ready. 3rd party next gen games are due week later and during november so no need to move dates
You bring up some good points, and I'd be interested in a new Vita model since I don't have one. Best thing they could do is have this one accept any SD card. That could help it without dropping the price.

One month before the X1, sounds about right.
I have no intention of buying the PS4 or the XBONE. I have to say though... If this is true Sony nailed this launch all across the board. It has plenty of time to establish itself before the holidays. We know Sony is great at marketing. Black Friday is going to be hell for me. I work at Walmart. Son of a bitch.

Very good strategic date: right after GTAV and right before Xbone launch. But are all launch games ready, though? Especially from Sony first party.

sounds perfect! 7 days to go before we hopefully find out!
Had to recheck. PS2 hit the 26th.

Do you think there will be any new exclusive launch titles? It really is strange that it's that weak.

Sony has been one step ahead of MS this entire year. Launching in October is perfect for them. It gives them more or lense a month where they will have the sales floors all to themselves. For me, the earlier they launch this puppy the better.
