Sony still quiet on PS4 release dates

Sony isn't budging when it comes to keeping quiet on PlayStation 4 release dates for different regions.

Last week Sony's Jim Ryan said that the 'Holiday 2013' launch date for the new console was accurate, but he didn't say which parts of the world this referred to.

Now Sony Computer Entertainment Europe UK managing director, Fergal Gara, has continued with the vague answers to questions about release dates.

"We will launch it this year," Gara told DigitalSpy. "Exactly what regions, what timing, is being worked through.

"Which regions in 2013 - is it all of them, is it some of them? Is there some degree of phasing? We'll reveal that in more detail later but we can't yet."

It's likely that Sony will wait until Microsoft reveals its next-generation hardware before announcing any firm release dates.
