The PlayStation 4 will go on sale later this year and it'll be cheaper than the Xbox One - $399 in the US, ?349 in the UK and ***8364;399 - compared to $499 and ?429.
These pricing details were revealed along - at long last - with the look of the PS4 console itself, at Sony's E3 2013 press conference.
Sony says the PS4 was designed with an overarching theme of a "frictionless and seamless" gaming experience.
We've known that the PS4 will track both the controller in a gamer's hand, as well as their face, since the console's launch in Feb. But during his GDC talk Norden revealed some interesting ways that this technology will be implemented in games.

Hands on: PlayStation 4 reviewWe get our hands on Sony's new console and deliver an early verdict
For example, the old multiplayer standby of split screen, divvying up television real estate when two or more players go at it, will be aided by this tracking tech. If a gamer gets up and moves right or left, his section of the screen will automatically be swapped.
We learned a whole lot more when Sony gave its E3 presentation, so read on for all you need to know about the new PlayStation...
PS4's new look
The PS4 itself was shown off for the first time at E3 and it's black, just like the Xbox One. However, it has an angular design and appears to be constructed of a similar plastic to the original PS3 Slim machine.
It looks as though it's slimmer than the Xbox One but we're not totally blown away by the design. What do you think?

PS4 release date
The official PS4 release date is still only 'later this year'. Sony didn't reveal any more details on the release date at E3 so we're still in the dark. However, with Microsoft launching the Xbox One worldwide in November, it seems likely that Sony will be going live around this time also.
In late June, German and Dutch retail outlet Media Markt put up postersadvertising the PS4 release date as Wednesday November 13, while Dutch site Bol.com also advertised the same on-sale date. That's two two weeks before the Xbox One release date.
