According to many sites [DigiTimes and Mashable], Sony is now rumored to be preparing the PlayStation 4 for a 2012 launch. According to the rumors, the device is being manufactured by Foxconn and Pegatron Technology. But the more interesting, though, is that the PlayStation 4 may boast body movement controls as one of its core features, something that Microsoft pioneered with the Kinect.



Historically, With PlayStation 1 and 2, Sony used to be the king of gaming consoles. Then, Nintendo took the crown from Sony with the Wii and its innovative motion controls, Microsoft struck back with the Kinect last year, one of the fastest-selling devices in history. At the same time, Sony latched onto the motion control craze with the PlayStation Move, a system that combines motion capture with a wand-like controller. More than 8 million Move controllers have been sold since its launch, but it still trails the Kinect by a large margin.


The report claims that Sony will ship at least 20 million units of PlayStation 4 in 2012, which means that PS4 is coming to challenge the Wii U. We’ll be waiting for more to come about PlayStation 4.
