The PlayStation 4 is Sony's flagship for the eighth generation consoles, putting it at odds with Nintendo's Wii U and Microsoft's Xbox One. It launched on November 15, 2013 in North America and November 29, 2013 in both Europe and Australia.
Moving away from the complicated Cell architecture of its predecessor, PlayStation 4 features a more elementary AMD processor, in hopes of attracting a broader range of developers and support for the system. Sony intends more focus on social gameplay, incorporating a "share" button on the new controller and enabling a view of in-game play streamed live from friends.
The console enables interactivity with other services and devices through the following methods: Gaikai, a cloud-based gaming service that offers streaming video game content; PlayStation App, designed to enhance gameplay by using smartphones and tablets as a second screen; and PlayStation Vita's design for playing a majority of PlayStation 4 games through wireless Remote Play.
During late April 2014 Sony released an update for the PS4 in which they added Share Factory a game clip editing tool that allowed users to upload gameplay photos and videos to social networks. Share Factory is currently supporting any game released since then.
