Expecting a Sony PlayStation 4 or PS4? Maybe not much longer

ps-logoAccording recent news from Play-Mag, they state that Sony have been working on the Sony PlayStation 4 or PS4 for longer than 2 years and they are expecting Sony will release its next generation console by around 2011 or 2012 and possibly with lower price.

As for the hardware, the PS4 will likely be powered by Cell, or a variant.  The graphic processing is likely to come from nVidia or another chip manufacturer in order to keep the cost down.  The PS4 is also likely to be able to process real 3D imagery and Super High Definition.  The dual shock controller might go away and Sony is planning to use voice and movement recognition controller instead.

Start Imagining the Sony PlayStation 4 (PS4)

Start Imagining the Sony PlayStation 4 (PS4)

sony-playstation-4-ps4Perhaps the release time of Sony Playstation 4 (PS4) is still years away, and Sony hasn't let a word slip about any game system to follow the PS3.  But according to the learned observers of this gaming industry, we can probably make some educated guess about what the next PlayStation, PS4 might be.

Here are some of educated guess provided by Digital Trends:

No Disc Drive - The PS4 will have no disc drive, depending entirely on an Internet connection for browsing and accessing games. Games may not be instantly playable (as they will be on the upcoming OnLive), but development will likely change to quicken download times significantly.

Lower Price and Fewer Features - Sony must have learned its lesson on this one, by now. The PlayStation 3 launched at $600, and though it stood head and shoulders above every other console on the market as the most powerful console, sales tanked on its price tag alone.

A Multimedia Machine - Expect to see the PlayStation 4 marketed as much as a home media server as a game console, because it will pretty much replace your cable box, video library, laptop, and the rental store down the block.

More Power - Power ratchets up a notch, making graphics look even closer to life. While the existing PlayStation 3 already does pretty well in this arena, with visuals that stand out as the best on any existing console, you can expect the PS4 to generate the kind of graphics than have hitherto only been available in the very highest echelon of gaming PCs.

Motion Controller - Just look how many people loved the Wii's motion controller, I am pretty sure Sony also wants piece of this big pie.

    No PS4 and Xbox 720 before 2013 and Wii HD coming in 2010

    According to analyst from Wedbush Morgan, Michael Pachter expects no new consoles: Sony PlayStation 4 (PS4) and Xbox 720 before 2013.  In 2010 we might see Nintendo's new Wii HD which features higher definetion.

    “We do not expect a “new” console in 2010 (other than the long-rumoured high definition Wii, which is likely to upgrade the Wii to current console technology),” he wrote in an industry newsletter.

    “We do not expect the ‘next’ generation to begin before 2013, if at all,” he added.

    “We remain convinced that the publishers will resist the introduction of any video game hardware technology that requires a refresh of software, as the publishers have as yet to capitalise on the immense investments made in being competitive in the current cycle.

But another potentially disruptive impact is in the mobile games segment. Nintendo and Sony dominate there, with their DS and PSP devices.

    PSP Phone Mooted Again

    A PSP Phone has been a favorite subject of gamer/phone geek speculation for some time, but has never really looked that likely. Sony Ericsson were rumored to have pitched the idea of a gaming phone (like Nokia’s N-Gage platform) to Sony but the PlayStation owners refused to let their brand be associated with the project.
