While Microsoft is still keeping its own next-generation console under lock and key, rival Sony is gearing up to take the stage in New York City and show off exactly what it&#8217;s been working on for the past few years. Naturally, we&#8217;ll be liveblogging the whole thing starting at 6PM Eastern\/3PM Pacific tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Like nearly every other major hardware release in recent memory, the PlayStation 4 (or whatever it&#8217;s going to be called) has been the subject of scads of questionable rumors and clandestine leaks. Curious code name?<a  href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/technology\/ingame\/sonys-new-console-might-not-be-ps4-orbis-596055\"> Check<\/a>. Preliminary glimpses at hardware? <a  href=\"http:\/\/kotaku.com\/5984353\/this-is-a-real-prototype-ps4-controller?tag=playstation-4\">Check<\/a>. Unnerving (and hopefully unfounded) reports that the console won&#8217;t play nice with used games? Sadly, <a  href=\"http:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2013\/01\/04\/playstation-4-anti-second-hand-patent-causes-industry-panic-3337947\/\">check<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Even now, the rumor mill persists &#8212; Sony may push its next-gen console out the door as soon as November (with the ability to control it via smartphone, no less) if a new report from <a  href=\"http:\/\/kotaku.com\/5985356\/source-the-ps4-will-be-out-this-november-and-youll-be-able-to-control-it-with-your-phone?tag=playstation-4\">Kotaku <\/a>holds water. Still, for while we know (or think we know) about Sony&#8217;s plans for tonight, expect the company to whip out a few surprises to keep the masses planted firmly on the edge of their seats.<\/p>\n<p>That said, at this point it seems highly unlikely that Sony will pull back the curtain on everything it&#8217;s working on, if only because of its sketchy track record with keeping promises made on stage. One need only look at the company&#8217;s original PS3 announcement to see that some of the experiences that Sony promised it would bring to the table just haven&#8217;t materialized (or at least, haven&#8217;t materialized in the way we had hoped).<\/p>\n<p>Either way, Sony&#8217;s little shindig in Gotham tonight is going to be one to worth listening in on.
