PlayStation 4 has no rival but lacks games

The PlayStation 4 is unrivaled. Technologically it is more powerful than other next-generation consoles (Xbox One and WiiU) and has the overwhelming support of the public, judging by the enthusiastic reception in the U.S. and record it in Europe, where Friday is set to sale.
