    A guy posted this on NeoGAF:
    Rumor: Our internal product release schedule from head office dropped yesterday and on Oct 21st an unnamed Sony console will be launched. Fyi all console revisions like the ps360 slims and Wii Mini were listed as ps360 & wii mini. Previously the wiiu, 3ds and vita were also only listed as Nintendo/Sony Console in the product name column.

    I know it's an internet forum rumour, but the thing about NeoGAF is if you post false rumours you will get perma-banned in about 4 seconds flat. The mods have allowed the above which lends some reliability to it.

    Anyway that is not too far away, just over two months.

    Not quite right from what I understand, but closer to the mark than anything that's been made public before

    *edit*

    And by that I mean very close

    Tuesdays are usually release dates for US games - So I'll guess 22nd.

    If that's true, then I need to get finger out and pay the last 50eu left on my ps4, then start paying off games.

    In away late October kind of makes sense.

    Is there gonna be a staggered release or will we get it the same time as america? Presume Japan will get it first.

    Has that been announced yet?

    From what I heard Japan will be the last one to get. There is no competition in JAPAN, so Sony will tackle US and EU market first.

    Hopefully the staggering is not too drawn out, but I would imagine they will have some sort of staggered release date - even just to ensure there are no supply issues and the likes.

    Japan may not get it this year

    Come to think of it, October would be perfect to launch ps4.

    *It will make the launch smoother as all the fanboys and preorders will be sorted before Xmas shopping. So second wave will be for Xmas and all holiday shopping days. Less clash and cluster****.
    *Ahead of Xbox one and it might give enough time to send out second wave. Some people don't have patients and will grab the first one out, but in this situation it's irrelevant. There wount be spare non preordered consoles for some time.
    *release it before all major releases in November. This way people will buy new releases on ps4 and not on old gen. A nice software launch boost and will look good on a paper for Sony.
