The PlayStation 4 will support voice and gesture control through its camera, Sony confirmed with Engadget this week at the 2013 Tokyo Game Show.

No Caption Provided

The confirmation comes after an Amazon listing for the PlayStation camera stated that it would allow features including "navigational voice commands."

Competitor Microsoft will also offer voice and gesture control for the Xbox One via the Kinect.

While the Kinect is bundled with every Xbox One, PlayStation 4 users will need to pay $60 to purchase a PlayStation camera.

Sony also confirmed this week at TGS that the PS4 would allow recording of game content over HDMI.

The PS4 launches November 15 in North America, November 29 in Europe, and in 32 countries by the end of the year.
