So, a mod-verified gaffer named Nealand Liquor just posted this interesting tidbit in the TALES FROM MY ASS thread.

Previously the wiiu, 3ds and vita were also only listed as Nintendo/Sony Console in the product name column.

Disclaimer: I just work at a very large retailer, managing the electronics sales force and nothing more. I have nothing to do with purchasing, nation wide merchandising or shipping. I am not trying to play this off as I have connections at Sony, or I am some sort of insider. It's that just yesterday we received a product release schedule from our head office and I thought this is OT itt. These schedules btw, are for internal use only, designed to allow us time to create our instore merch plans. If the launch date for a product is unknown, it's simply marked TBA. The only time a date is ever included is when we have received confirmation of said date from the product company.

So, what do you think? Possible?

Edit: Mod-verified means that this particular gaffer is indeed in the position to receive such knowledge, as has been checked by Bishoptl himself.
This means it's still a rumor, but it does have a verified source. Nothing more.

Another day and another release date rumour for the PlayStation 4.

This time the date of October 21st comes from a post on NeoGAF, where user Nealand Liquor has posted that the store he works for, which remains unnamed, has received a release schedule pinning that date as release day for Sony’s next gen machine.

This rumour appears to have some weight as that user is mod-verified on GAF, which means that the mods have checked Nealand Liquor out and have seen enough proof that what he posts is information that could indeed be legitimate.

This would mean the PS4 would release before the One, taking advantage of the small time frame to appeal to the mainstream audience. We’re more than likely to get a solid release date for both next gen consoles next week at Gamescom, where both Sony and Microsoft are hosting conferences.

I'm actually inclined to believe this since we will very likely find out next week!

I think I just pee'd a little!

Elandyll · 08-13-2013, 08:26 PM

Imo that would be a very strong position to launch the system, if true.

Just so everyone knows all I have is our internal release schedule and nothing more. Nothing is cast in stone and things can change (though they rarely do). To clairify the 21st date means the week of. It could launch on the Monday though.

So, Week starting the 21st...

That is one fd up gif.

nothing.sound · 08-13-2013, 08:46 PM

Just think that's 2 months from next week. That would be so amazing!

UNCMT9 · 08-13-2013, 08:50 PM

That launch would be on a Monday. Ps3 launched in the States on 11-17-06, a Friday. Any meaning one way or the other?

Nope.

Maybe some of the lines will be of people in Halloween costumes.

I'm showing up to GameStop at midnight with a paper bag on my head dressed as a disgruntled XBone fan.

Its the week starting the 21st so any day after the 21st can be the release day.

Just go as a pirate and wave the skull and Xbones.

madlost1 · 08-13-2013, 10:53 PM

I know it says revisions have held the console name but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this will be a lower priced Vita possibly a white Vita even. I would love if it was the release date for the PS4 though.

Week of...

Yes it is likely the PS4.

Not every game retailer is going to get the PS4 on Sony's official release date thanks to E3 & the millions of PS fans who pre-ordered back in May. Way to much traffic.

MifuneFan · 08-14-2013, 12:31 AM

So I'm thinking it'll be October 25th

History lesson: The PS2 launched on October 26th, 2000 in the US

KB24SD · 08-14-2013, 12:36 AM

Hmm...

I have a hard time believing this rumored release date.

Sony has Beyond 2 Souls coming out a week before this on October 8th.

If the PS4 does launch in October I'd put my money on October 28th.

Lovemy3D · 08-14-2013, 01:08 AM

Cool, That would be perfect. Exactly what I was hoping for, and almost expecting. Last week of October, or at least first week of November. I'd be surprised and disappointed if it turned out to be late November, or even into December.

We might just get to play Battlefield 4 And Assassins Creed 4 on day one after all. Of course by that I mean the same day as the current console versions are released.
