(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Rumours are flying all over the place as to when the ps4 is going to be released, So lets try find out more about what this holiday 2013 actually means rather than hear a date and assume its correct when really none are until sony confirm it.

So ive been doing a little research into what is classed as holiday season/period etc.

Heres what ive found from WIKIPEDIA:

The Christmas season, also called the holiday season or simply the holidays in the United States and Canada, is an annual festive period that surrounds Christmas and various other holidays. It is generally considered to run from late November to early January.

Europe:

In Ireland and the United Kingdom, the Christmas shopping season starts from mid November, around the time when high street Christmas lights are turned on.

In Sweden, where the First of Advent* marks the start of the Christmas and holiday season
*Advent Sunday is the first day of the liturgical year in the Western Christian churches. It also marks the start of the season of Advent, 2013: 1 December.

USA and Canada:

In the United States, the Christmas/holiday shopping season, during which a quarter of all personal spending takes place, is traditionally considered to commence on the day after American Thanksgiving, a Friday colloquially known as either Black Friday or Green Friday.

So from what i have found is that it is around later november right though to early days of january. so rather than believe posts saying ps4 is going to be out 16th november or december 3rd, lets just remember that its going to be within these few months, what region we dont know. Sony wont i doubt release it before this black friday tradition and we all hope before christmas so everyone can ask their parents or have one brought for them for it.

I couldnt really find much about Japan's holiday season...

What are your thoughts and facts..

Im still pretty skeptical, why would someone want to make a rumor like that up? Its pretty stupid.

thats exactly the point people see something and jump the gun and post shit and its spreads like wildfire

"Holiday Season", basically around november or december

I originally said November out of speculation. Honestly it's just something that is connivent for shoppers, it's the pre-Christmas shopping, the discount shopping, the shopping where you can get trampled lol. I honestly will not be surprised if the PS4 is released in November. Anywhere from the 18th to the 29th of November.

Please look im in Germany

I know i was joking.

if they really wanted to get the christmas buyers then they need to announce it a month before christmas atleast then go all out with the tv, internet, paper and all kinds of media to push the ps4 sales!

Definitely. I also think Sony's whole idea behind the social aspect of gaming is to get more buyers too. Really wish it was summer already so the wait won't be so long. :cry:
