The console was announced in February 2013. When it said it was announced, many games were pre-released. When it was released, it automatically led the eighth generation, overtaking the Wii U. The console is very high-rated and the console uses Internet capacity. The console features minor compatibility with the PlayStation 3, but they can only be played on through the online shop. PlayStation 3 games were taken off the shop later on. There are considerations that Sony might put PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games on the shop and put back on PlayStation 3 games, but it is yet to be revealed.
