"The PlayStation 4 will let gamers use their real name online at launch, Sony has confirmed to Kotaku. Unlike the Xbox One, which won&amp;#039;t initially offer the option, the PS4 will allow users to be identified by their real names for the system&amp;#039;s online service from the get-go.  Microsoft&amp;#039;s upcoming console will, however, eventually offer the option. &amp;quot;While real identities continue to be part of our plans for the experience on Xbox One, at launch, customers will continue to search for friends using their Gamertags,&amp;quot; a spokesperson for the firm said last week. &amp;quot;Our teams are working hard to deliver a quality experience for Xbox One. This means prioritising some features and sometimes postponing others for a later update.&amp;quot; Users of either console won&amp;#039;t be required to use their actual names and can choose to remain anonymous. The PS4 launches on November 15 in North America and on November 29 in Europe. Watch Digital Spy&amp;#039;s PS4 hands-on video preview below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
