Sony’s New Console Is Officially Called PlayStation 4

As most people expected, Sony’s next generation console has been officially announced in today’s PlayStation Meeting. It will be named simply as the PlayStation 4.

This makes sense since the “PlayStation” brand has been a recognizable brand for Sony since 1994. If the console was named “Orbis” as its code name suggested, casual gamers may not have recognized it as a video game console.

The official logo is similar to the current PS3 one. It’s just PS4 stylized in the same font.

More news on the PlayStation 4 will be revealed later in the day. It sounds like the console will be more socially interactive than any other console Sony has released in the past.
