The full specification for the PS4, DualShock 3 and PlayStation Camera can be found below.
The PS4 is 275 mm × 53 mm × 305 mm (width × height × length) in size, making it slightly smaller than the PS3 Slim and slightly larger than the PS3 Super Slim. The console will weigh approximately 2.8 kg.
The PS4 Pro is 295mm × 55 mm × 327 mm (width × height × length) in size, and weighs 3.3kg due to its larger size.
The PS4 “Slim”, released in September 2016 is smaller than the original PS4. It’s 265 mm × 39 mm × 288 mm (width × height × length) in size. It is 2.1kg in weight – that’s 700g lighter than the original PS4.
Included in the box will be the PS4 console itself, a DualShock 4 controller, a mono headset, power cord, HDMI cable and USB charging cable for the controller. The bundled mono headset plugs into the minijack & extension port on the bottom of the DualShock 4.
The console will have 2x USB 3.0 ports at the front of the console, and a AUX port on the back. The latter will be used by the PlayStation Camera. The PS4 drops the old component / AV port found on the PS3. So you’ll only be able to use the HDMI port which will have HDCP to block external recorders from capturing footage from the console.
Yes. The PS4 comes with a 500 GB hard drive, but can be upgraded if needed. Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida confirms that the console’s hard drive will be upgradable like the PS3s.

The PS4 will be releasing in North America and Europe in late 2013. A exact release date hasn’t been revealed yet for either of the two regions. It’s expected that the PS4 will be releasing in Japan and Asia in 2014.
