The main news of this event is undoubtedly Sony revealing the release plans of the PlayStation 4. Gamescom will also be a good occasion for the public to learn about new PlayStation 3 and Vita updates and games.

After literally destroying its main competitor, namely the Microsoft’s new Xbox One at the Electronic Entertainment Expo earlier this year, it seems that Sony is ready to give more updates about its new PlayStation console. On 16 August 2013, the Japanese company announced on its official website and on the UK PlayStation blog that it would be hosting its Gamescom conference on 20 August and that there will be complementary information about their latest consoles, the PlayStations 3 and 4 and the PlayStation Vita.

What will Sony reveal at Gamescom 2013?

After announcing that the starting sale price of the PS4 would be of 399 USD (€399/£349), Sony has fixed the error it had made at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in 2006. Back then, the PlayStation 3 was announced at 599 USD. This time around, with a price tag of 100 USD lower than its competitor, the Xbox One, the PlayStation 4 is surely the console that will be opted for by gamers. The Gamescom will be an event that will give extensive details about this console.

The Gamescom event on 20 August is one to look forward to for PlayStation fans. The main information that most fans will be waiting for is the official release plans of the PlayStation 4. The official release date will be made known by Sony in the coming week.
