Some consumers pre-ordered their new handheld or imported it from another country so they would not have to wait until the new generation console’s launch date. Sony has announced there would be 25 games available and another ten shortly thereafter with a 100 more video games to be released after the launch date.

Most people understand that the Sony has already stated it has produced a device that is going to offer an unprecedented and exciting gaming experience.
