Sony took the wraps off its next-generation video game console PlayStation 4 Wednesday, scheduling it for a holiday 2013 release.
The company revealed the new console, which will succeed the 7-year-old PlayStation 3, in New York. The PS4 will allow users to stream and play video games hosted on servers.
The system's DualShock 4 controller will have a touch pad, lead system architect Mark Cerny said.
