It will also ship with Sony’s new “DualShock 4″ controllers, which are similar to the current-generation controllers with the addition of a touchpad, a stereo camera for 3D position tracking, a share button that allows users to stream live gaming to their friends’ consoles, and other new features.

Sony will introduce a new technology with the PS4 that allows users to take control of friends’ controllers over the network to help them when they’re stuck in a game — a feature that will be welcomed by many.
The PlayStation Network is being updated alongside the launch of the new PlayStation 4, adding a wide array of new social features like Facebook integration, as well as a new own-brand social network dedicated to gaming. New multicasting and cooperative gaming features will be introduced as well.
Another highlight from Wednesday’s announcements is new PS Vita integration, which allows games to be streamed from the PlayStation 4 to the Vita, thus moving the game off the TV and onto a portable device.
And while Sony is working on cross-compatibility features with older games, PlayStation 3 games will not be natively supported on the new PlayStation 4.
Sony’s new PlayStation 4 will launch ahead of the holidays this year.
