#PlayStationMemory claims top global trending spot on Twitter ahead of PS4 reveal

The world has united in memory of nearly two decades of PlayStation ahead of the reveal of the PS4 in New York tonight.

The hashtag #PlayStationMemory is currently the No.1 trending topic on Twitter worldwide – one hell of an achievement for Sony’s marketeers. And a great start to what is sure to be near-blanket coverage of the new console across the press from midnight tonight.

Here’s a selection of Tweets on the subject that caught our eye:
