The PlayStation 3's launch was full of potential, but in the end fell short of instant love. Sony had underestimated the importance of social and online features and so had paled in comparison to Xbox 360 in that regard, and the cost and available games did nothing to help the situation. Sony hasn't made the same mistake twice. The PlayStation 4 is the perfect console for today, with room to grow as the industry does.

Read MoreGears of War Could Make it to PlayStation 4
We've seen this headline time and time again before, but it's never come to anything.

Read MorePS3 Users Locked Offline after Forced Password Reset
Sony have reset an amount of EU PlayStation Network passwords, forcing users to choose something new before they can re-access their online accounts.

Sony are resetting countless PSN passwords as a security measure ahead of the PlayStation 4 launch next week.
