Sony's latest salvo in the next-generation battle of gaming consoles, the PlayStation 4, is scheduled to hit North American markets this week.

CEO Kazuo Hirai has declared the game console as one of the three pillars the company will rebuild itself on, along with mobile and digital imaging, but investors may not be entirely convinced.
