The PlayStation 4 has arrived in the US, drawing crowds to midnight sales events that saw fans camping for days to make sure they were one of the first to receive Sony's next generation console.
With the Xbox One launch coming on November 22nd, this will easily go down as one of the biggest months in industry history.
It's been six years since the PlayStation 3 hit store shelves and sold out almost immediately, prompting a wave of mainstream media coverage – especially when fans began coming to blows over the last remaining units.
Hopefully Sony will have better supplies this launch so the press can focus on the changes the PS4 and its rival console promise to the millions of households worldwide with a gaming console.
Speaking to fans gathered outside a few opening events, it became obvious that core gaming is still quite healthy - and driven by a good deal of brand loyalty.
When asked why they were going with the PS4 as opposed the the Xbox One, the crowd replied simply, "Because it's better."
Doubtless those in line to buy Xbox One will say the same next week.
