Sony has unveiled its PlayStation 4 console at a live-streamed event in New York, and said it will be part of a new "ecosystem".
The console is the company's first major release since the PlayStation 3 went on sale in 2006.
Among other features, it will allow users to stream and play video games hosted on servers. Users will also be able to record their in-game footage and share it via social networks.
Sony said the console is powered by an eight-core processor, giving it the feel of a "supercharged PC".
The console's new controllers feature a touch pad and headphone socket A new controller was also shown off at the event.
Dubbed "DualShock 4", it will have a touch pad and a "share" button, as well as a headphone socket and a light bar which can be tracked by a camera to detect where the player is - according to lead system architect Mark Cerny.
However, the look of the new console, and its eventual price, were not revealed at the event.
Sony said it is planning to release the console - in some countries at least - during the year-end holiday season.
Andrew House, group chief executive of Sony Computer Entertainment, said: "Today marks a moment of truth and a bold step forward for PlayStation as a company.
"Today we will give you a glimpse into the future of play."
Sony purchased US cloud-based gaming company Gaikai for $380m in July. Using that technology, the new console will offer a cloud-gaming service.
Some of the console's first games were also announced at the event, including racing simulator Drive Club and first-person shooter Killzone: Shadow Fall.
The event is seen by many as an attempt to give Sony a head start ahead of Microsoft's expected unveiling of the next Xbox in June - at the E3 video game expo in Los Angeles.
Last time around, the Xbox 360 beat the PlayStation 3 to market by one year.
However the new device arrives amid a decline in video game hardware and software sales. Research firm NPD Group said game sales fell 22% to $13.3bn in 2010.
