No, it's a confirmed launch day game, even available as a launch bundle.

My wife and I had our first baby Monday. I've had The Last of Us sitting on my shelf mocking me. I feel your pain. Totally worth it though.

Why buy anything if that's you're mindset?

Why spend so much money on a untested and unproven console? let the console release, let the die hard fans get it and see if what they think about it, then make a decision. Buying a console just because your'e a fan of the company is stupid. You buy because you want to play games on it.
My wallet won't hurt from buying a ps4. You're right that waiting a year is probably the more sane choice but I just want it at launch and the money isn't an issue so why not.

nobody is taking away your PS3 from you. You can buy a PS4 four years from now for all I care.
people who like new stuff will buy a PS4 get by the end of Q3 2013 anyway
*yawn*
MGSV was the last potential PS3 game I was interested in but that's headed to PS4 now. With The Last of Us out, I'm pretty much done with the triple.

Back on topic, I feel that this date wouldn't be entirely unlikely - especially given the aggressive marketing Sony has taken upon themselves lately.
Also, I've seen a few people addressing the worry that "if they rush it, the hardware could be faulty." I don't think that should be a worry, I mean, Cerny is heading the project and the guy knows what he's doing. They've been planning this for a long time, and as people have pointed out, a lot of the E3 games were done on PS4 devkits. The hardware is basically ready, it's time for manufacturing and advertising now.

Imagine that... Dropping the October release date AND a 1 month timed exclusivity of Watch Dogs... This alone would sell a lot of PS4s.

Not necessarily. Nintendo announced the Wii U's launch date only 2 months before it launched.

Watch Dogs was set to be a launch title from the start. The press release that said it was coming to next gen xbox and Playstation said it would launch with the PS4 and Xbox One.
As for the date, possible I guess, would be cool if it was. But really expect early to mid-November as is typical.
Sony does need to keep momentum going by launching before XOne.

I would love an October launch, however, if there are no games available for launch, or rushed releases, I'd rather wait until sometime in November personally. October 29th with Battlefield would be fine. I remember someone saying Assasin's Creed is not necessarily a launch title.. so, I could wait a bit.
Because I want to.
It doesn't make much of a difference this time around. First day adopters are already locked in, and having one go before the other by maybe 2 or 3 weeks isn't going to change their minds. This isn't a one year gap like last gen.

Believe it or not, there are people who want to play some of the launch titles. Not everyone has a wait and see attitude. Where did you get people are buying it because they are just fans of Sony?

You're talking to an ultra-enthusiast crowd and when it comes to consoles, the crowd has been starved for new powerful hardware for a long long time. While waiting for the library to grow and the price to drop is probably the most practical thing to do, this isn't a practical group of people when it comes to gaming. I have one preordered, I'm not sure if I'm going to keep that order until launch. Buying it at launch probably isn't the best use of my money and I already have more games than I know what to do with, at the same time, it fits fine within my budget and I'm really excited to see the start of a new platform. One thing I can assure you, though, I'm not buying it because I'm some big fan of Sony.

the Watch_Dogs guys said, back in February, the it would be on the PS4 at it's launch.
so PS4 has to come out on or after the Watch_Dogs date.

I'm mostly in the same boat as you. I can't wait for the start of the new generation of consoles. I also have the system, and three games full paid from trade in credit, so there's plenty of flex in the budget, and I still have my PS3.
I'm getting in on day one because 1) I'm tired of the current generation 2) I hate watching online as others play something I want to play 3) I'm looking forward to new features offered on the new hardware, most of all, not having to wait 1/2 hour to patch a game especially if the game was previously installed and was patched at least once.
Just about the only thing I'm not looking forward to, the weeks/days/nights leading up to launch where I am laying awake thinking about it.
Guys, dont buy the ps4 this year. There wont be any games in it, not those killzone sf, knack, driveclub fake games. And the rumored games like watchdogs, bf4, cod ghosts, and ac4 that are in full hd and better framerate. Get it on the ps3 instead.

Haha, same thing I was thinking. His points were so coherent, too! Buy the same games on a weaker system because _______ . Pure win.

There is a launch bundle with Watch Dogs on amazon.
this.
I believe this, they been saying "holiday" since Feb like to make it seem they are releasing it in December. Xbox one release in Nov 20 right?, Sony has to get a jump on that and drop it few weeks before.
Also Asscreed flags was the first game to say is coming to PS4,
Guess when that game drops?, October 29th.

I think he was being sarcastic. Not entirely sure though.
Why would i be serious when I quoted a joke poster above? lol

29 Oct - releasing simultaneously with BF4 and Assassins Creed 4 would be absolutely monumental. And launching that much before Xbone would really be the final blow.
You mean I can't own both consoles and play both sets of new releases? Interesting.

The new Xbox is like a heroine addict that you've tried to help a thousand times, but they refuse to listen.
