Playstation 4 Development Underway

[ScoobySnax]

I'm not quite ready for my next console, but I am interested in the technology it's going to use. However, I do not want them to create another disc format. I still feel like Blu-Ray is new even though it's been out for 5 years.

Agreed on all fronts... stick with bluray, and release this in 2014.

I bet it shows up on shelves in 2013, which will have been 7 years the PS3 has been out.

This is what I've been thinking. Especially, with Nintendo rumored to release their new console next year. I'm not ready now, but I know as soon as they unveil it, I'll become googley-eyed.

Out of curiosity, how long after it was first confirmed that the PS3 was in development did it come out?

if these new consoles when they do release are like $600 all over again, Sony and MS can keep them.

That's the thing. It really depends on if Sony does another processor upgrade or changes the disc format. I still think the Cell Engine is very capable of being the guts of the PS4. If they keep Blu-Ray and the Cell and just upgrade the graphics card and add more media capability, the price could end up around $399, which is pretty reasonable IMO.

@31 I want to say development started early 2004, with a E3 2005 reveal. I could be wrong though.

I'm excited. Games are not changing much anymore. This was what happened near the end of last generation. Right before we had confirmation on the PS3 and 360, games were not much different and hardly anything innovative was happening.

I am looking forward to what companies are going to risk on the new consoles. We usually see a lot of new IP's that are being "tested" at the releases of the consoles. I am worried though, with how EA and their football games will do. Hopefully they learned from their mistakes this generation.
