VIDEOS: PlayStation 4 Revealed?

On top of the 34 core cell, add FULL hardware backwards compatibility.

Either way I'll bet E3 will have news about a ps4.

as the first vid says: "for now, just wait."

I think that's mildly unfair assessment. There are no real comparisons between development cycles today which can easily reach into the hundreds of millions of dollars and development even ten years ago.

The truth of the matter is we're reaching a point of diminishing returns in hardware. There were major advantages when going from 8bit to 16bit. Going from 16 to 32 was an upgrade, but even then you could see that it wasn't as much. Today we have systems that are approaching photo realism. While there no doubt could be increases in power, the question is by how much?

How much is Sony or Microsoft supposed to lose in order to gain a 30 percent increase over current systems that are just now starting to reach the black. How much for a 15 percent increase, or 10 percent?

I think this is why we're really seeing these two approach new technologies from a different angle. Forget changing the core system, instead enhance it with add-ons.

PS4 or XBOX 1080?

Not PS4, 3D PS3. And the 10 year thing has nothing to do with the release of PS4, it just means the console will be supported for 10 years, just like the PS2 before it, and the PSX before that. The 10 years will definitely overlap with the release of the successor just like it always has.

"lets overclock the GPU a bit so it can do 3D, and call it the PS4"

[citation][nom]PTR[/nom]I thought they said that the PS3 will be around for a decade or so? lol. Imo, this is too soon[/citation]

The PS2 made 10 years with PS3 being around for ~4 of them. Even if there is a coming PS4 announcement, they probably wouldn't be launching the console for several years.

about time both 360, ps3 need upgrade now due to obsolete gfx chips in them.

Now all I'm waiting for is someone losing PS4 in the pub and random tech journalist founding it.

Playstation 4? Or salvia?

I think if they really want to be a success with 3D both Sony and Microsoft need to come out with their next gen consoles sooner than previously planned. Each console is already hard pressed to push full 1080p games. The hardware may still be underutilized but a hardware upgrade would help overcome existing obstacles more quickly than waiting on software to be optimized.

The first one was... weird. They should call it the Playstation Quad. PS4 sounds... well.. boring. and weird.

And as for the second video, who the hell is, Juanmanuelijo? He apparently claimed copyright and now the video is gone.

That first video was actually kinda creepy...
