Priced at $399 (Rs. 23150), the PS4 is set for release later this year in the US & Europe.
The PS4 will play used games without any restrictions or authentication. In broader terms, that means that when you purchase physical media, that disc can then be traded-in at retailers like GameStop, lent / sold to friends or kept forever as part of your enduring library. What's more, unlike Microsoft's controversial Xbox One 24-hour offline game window, PS4 owners will not have to connect to the internet in order to continue playing games. Effectively, that makes the PS4 fully playable offline; it also arguably hands the E3 2013 crown to Sony.

Looks like M$ needs to learn to play poker. They went all-in with the XB1 while Sony watched M$ closely, observed all that was bad with the XB1 and made sure that none of those came to the PS4. A winning hand.
