PS4 Rumors Continue to Surface

this seems like good news to me. im all for sony putting more nails in its coffin. ive had it with those assholes.

Agreed.. i doubt i will pick up the next Sony.. i gt the Vita as a present from the Wife and while it is a nice console the bloody protection they are putting on these things is stupid.. tis a good thing im a PC gamer at heart i'll be sticking to that this time around

I'll wait for a Slim PS4.

serisouly people do not understand the word "Rumor"

"an unverified account or explanation of events circulating from person to person and pertaining to an object, event, or issue in public concern"

this is likely like a game of chinese whipers, and thos tools that hate sony decide to add their little spin to it, lets also mention the fact this was also claimed to be happening on microsofts next system, neither company will confirm this as bulls1te because only idiots would believe this pile of sh1te.

I dont see the anti-used games thing happening, they would loose support from retailers all over the world, and think about it, how can you do that on a read  only media like blueray? some nintendo or microsoft fanboy probably made that up

i had an idea the other day when reading this and another article about microsft. im starting to think microsoft might be changing their business model and not release another xbox. at least not an "xbox 720". if you think about it, video gaming technology hasnt really needed to advance as much as it historically has. the current consoles are still pretty well equiped to handle demanding games. more importantly, the emphasis on bigger, badder, games is not as strong. i would argue it has almost reached a saturation point, where having the most graphically intense, hardware demanding game, is as sought after as it once was. the xbox (360) has been around for a long time and i think microsoft wants to keep it around as long as possible. it makes more sense than releasing a new console every few years. they have a good, sustainable model that has proven to be fairly future-proof. i think they will end up keeping the 360 and maybe, releasing upgrades to hardware every so often, really just revision of the same model instead of starting over with a new console. it just makes more sense. they have a well established brand. why would they want to waste the money on r+d, to release a new console that really wont improve much on the existing system? they loose money on the consoles. especially in this economy people wont want to buy a newer console. by just maintaining their current system i think they would make more money, and it would actually be better for the consumer, than it would be to release an xbox 720.

what you said is true for all the hardware except the media, I mean blueray is a really big media that can still survive, I see a lot of good titles with little amount of memory, peace walker is 1.5 gb and has a lot to offer, imagine a blueray, and some games have much more graphics than ps1 games using less memory, but dvds are making the 360 kinda tight when it comes to graphics - gameplay - load times, imo microsoft screwed up when they left hd-dvd aside, it failed, so what? thats better, you have a propietary media with good amount of memory and realy hard for people to copy - burn since it failed in the market. so a new xbox will soon be a need for devs, maybe microsft will go back to the idea of hd-dvd. but lets be realistic, microsoft and sony will release their system because of f*cking nintendo releasing the wii-u.

actually, launch model ps3s had support for homebrew through linux and had ps2 bc with upscaled graphics. the problem is nobody cared much for linux because of the popular belief that "linux is hard", bullshit.
