PlayStation Europe's official Twitter account has just teased "something new" complete with a ten second video clip. Said clip shows a red sheet covering some sort of object, which, going by the shape alone, must be hardware related.
As you'd expect, the tweet has already stimulated a lot of speculation. Some are whispering PS5 - of course it isn't - while others are wondering if it's a new PS4 model. But why would Sony be hinting at such a thing now, when it doesn't have any kind of Gamescom press conference this year?
Sadly, we're going to put a dampener on all of this say that it could be a new region-specific bundle. The Japanese giant will no doubt be preparing a bunch of different packages for the upcoming holidays, so we wouldn't be surprised. That said, there has to be something to this if it's worthy of its own teaser, right?
What do you reckon this is? Try not to get too excited in the comments section below.

That's a Gran Turismo Sport bundle of some kind, probably a custom console. Guaranteed.
ps4 pro for £249.99
I mean they wouldnt kill the PS4 by announcing PS5...would they? Just because Xbox now has higher specs?
Calling it now. Sony Switch. No, really. Kill the competition via any means necessary and make their products objectively inferior.
Seems like a bit of a song and dance for a custom console though.
Vib Ribbon PS4. Finally.
@johncalmc We can dream.
personally i'm hoping it's a new handheld system like a Vita 2
If this is an updated "real 4K" Pro bundled with a 4k GT Sport, then there are going to be some angry Pro owners out there...
Could be a revamped PS VR perhaps?
Pro price drop to try n put pressure on XBX release (not that it will make much impression tbh) or some sort of GT Sport package.
Unless there is a table underneath, it looks more like a giant advertising cut out/shape..
Anyhoo no rush, i cant keep up with games i have, let alone more hardware/game bundles.
@get2sammyb If we're dreaming, it's also got Spotify integration, and it actually makes levels based on the music unlike the original PS One version.
4K TV with integrated PS4?
Would be a way of penetrating the casual market.
It's a GT Sport Pro bundle. Probably with a steering wheel.
Hope its a vita 2 and not a vr successor given I only just got mine. Playstation vita was just a little too soon tech wise to integrate a home console and portable console hybrid. But I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo saw the remote play idea and got the switch concept from that. A playstation equivalent would be so good
Well a man can dream....
@get2sammyb yup, there is even a garage door at the back of the picture. Defo gt related. Possibly a pro bundle with gt sport at a new low price
@BLP_Software A new PS5 with more power to render true 4k, more RAM to give 4k Assets etc and a decent CPU to improve frame rates etc. A 4k HDR Bluray, Atmos and Game VRR support - YES PLEASE!!
I am with others though, I think its mre likely to be a 'custom' PS4 - probably Pro and probably related to one of their 'big' releases - most likely GT Sport. Seems to early to show off a Spider-Man or God of War bundle if its not due until 2018...
PS4 french fry + toaster...
The tweet text says 'we're getting geared up' ... that's a fairly obvious hint in itself, no? But no one else seems to have mentioned it
Playstation portable 3
All vitas are going on sale for 4.99
This has got to be a Gran Turismo Sport hardware bundle. Can't imagine it'll be anything more than that.
GT Sport bundle
Diamond encrusted PS4 Pro with all PlayStation 4 games included for free.
So it looks like it's this..

I am with everyone else and saying this is a GT bundle. If it was a new system there would have been leaks already like with the PS4 slim.
If only it were a 'legacy' edition pro, fully back compatible with the whole PlayStation family of consoles, just pop your original discs in and play. I'd buy it in a flash!
Pointless vile red special edition PS4 Pro.
I'd love it if it was a PSone mini, complete with tiny screen 😍
A Gran Turismo collection (1-6) for PS4. A boy can dream.
A less ugly looking ps4 pro would be nice
Vita 2.0, believe!
Sony PlayStation Classic: PlayStation One Mini.
Bundle. No new console would be announced so badly.
Look at that shape! Clearly its a new sponge bob square pants game!!!! Oh F yeeaaah!!!
It has to be GT Sport related, why would they say "geared" in the tweet?
PS4 pro slim with price reduction.
Its a cage with a semi naked woman. Ive seen this before on the Paul Daniels magic show.
It's amazing how that 10 second video clip was more exciting than all of Microsoft's Gamescom Show I say it's a PS4 Pro X
New, cheaper version of the PSVR headset?
I would love a white ps4pro that doesn't make me pay for the (for me) unnecessary Destiny 2
@Feena Strangely I think you would enjoy destiny. I went in with an open mind and its got some pretty solid RPG mechanics.

@MattyHammo
Sony: GT Sport will be best on PS4 Pro!
Also Sony: Here's a very appealing GT PS4 regular
It's still odd they're not pushing the pro very much
Seems it was exactly as expected then. I guess the GTSport design is OK, but Microsoft definitely has Sony beat in terms of hardware design at the moment.
@themcnoisy it has definitely a PSO vibe and I think I could enjoy it but am absolutely allergic to First Person view
