PS4 Trailer

Do you think Sony really NEEDS the money? No, I think they are really trying to make things better for the PlayStation community. And it's working! The ps4 will be better than any of us can imagine, and it won't be too expensive. Sony learned form their mistake of releasing the ps3 at 600 dollars.

How tragically boring you are.

The reason Sony can not just add a new update is because the PS4 will host new hardware and graphic chips. The ram of the device will also be upgraded from the measly 256MB to 2GBs of ram so if Sony did make an update to include most PS4 features and games the graphics and games will be slow and hard to use because game software designers will design their games for the PS4 which includes better graphics and more ram as I've stated.People will not be forced to buy a new one with in the first year to the second year because most game titles like Call Of Duty Black Ops 2 and possibly Modern Warfare 4 will still existon the PS3 and most studios will not release 2 games in one year which means the most popular games will only have 1 or 2 sequels before the PS4 price begins to slowly plumitdown.

The PS3's hardware is INCREDIBLY outdated. 256MB or RAM, compared to the PS4's 8GB or RAM. You can't switch out hardware components electronically... I don't see how you wold think that's possible. There's already been SEVERAL price leaks showing $430-530 (USD). It isn't THAT unaffordable, especially compared to the PS3. And it isn't hard to find more friends on PSN. You if you have fun playing with someone online just add them.

And if you bought a PS3 this far into it's lifecycle, then frankly, that's your own fault. Console generations tend to last around 5-8 years, and getting a PS3 in 2012 is similar to getting a PS2 in late 2005. I got my first PS2 a few years after the PS3 was released, and then found a used PS3 on Ebay for about $275 in 2009. If you can't afford the PS4 at release, wait for the price to drop. Many others will, and there will still be a large community on the PS3. You'll still be able to enjoy your PS3. Just get the PS4 later in it's lifecycle like you did with the PS3.

I agree 100%... why do they need a ps4?
I probably wont be able to get one, neither will you probly either. That is why I agree with you

get a job.

here is a link to look at it all https://us.playstation.com/ps4/

yes you will be able to access your acount on a ps4 ,the main reason the ps4 is being made is because that sony needs another console update because of competitors.all games and info will be switched on it when you log in to psn

A lot of rumours seem to point to PS4 not being backwards compatible with PS3 games, this seems to be based on the rumour that PS4 will have a more traditional PC type CPU or x86 processor, where as PS3 had a cell processor & games were programmed very differently to how PC games are.

It is quite possible that current rumours are based on dev kits that don't possess a cell cpu, but Sony may install one on the motherboard to allow for backwards compatibility with PS3 games in PS4.

IMO since it's likely that Xbox 360 may be playable on the next xbox (rumours all seem to point to it being able to play 360 games) & Wii U supposedly having perfect backwards compatibility that Sony will make an effort to make PS3 games playable on PS4.

Some people that like to bash Sony & playstation like to say that it would make PS4 too expensive, but this isn't a logical thing to believe since the PS3 is now profitible for Sony, even at the lowest end model (the 12GB PS3 Super Slim), which retails for £150 in the UK, basically the CPU makes up a very small portion of that overall cost.

Being that it will be an important selling point for the next gen playstation, that it's cheap & that as long as the cell processor tech can be installed within the console (which I can't really see a reason why it couldn't), that the more of the cell processor Sony makes, the cheaper they become it just doesn't seem logical for PS4 to be unable to play PS3 games or older PS2 & PS1 games.

IMO remain open minded, don't make up your mind before Sony makes the announcement next year or whenever (though next year's E3 seems like a likely time for an anouncement of both PS4 & XBox 720, because that's what some named developers are point to for their games coming to these machines), be prepared for it to go either way.

Personally I'm swinging towards it being likely PS4 will play PS3 games, unless Sony completely omits anything like a cell processor in the console.
If that is the case they may offer some other means to play those titles, maybe through some kind of PSN related service, though streaming old games using their new Gaikai company seems like it would be overly costly compared to putting a Cell processor chip on the motherboard seems the least expensive way to do it.

Considering current rumours are putting PS4 at having an AMD A10, probably with something around an AMD HD 8850 you shouldn't have any problem if $700 is the price you can go up to.

The guts of a gaming PC, based around the A10 can be bought from Amazon.co.uk (I'm brittish BTW) for around £210, a D 7850 is £130, Bluray is about £50.
Overall I can build a PC based around that tech for less than £500, Sony can probably do it for around £300, maybe £350, which is the price of the 32gb Wii U, with Zombie U over here, if Sony takes a loss then they could probably release for around £300, America will get that will get it for around $350-$400.
If Sony goes with a newer GPU chip & more advanced, newer stacked DDR4 then it'll cost no more than $500 IMO.

Taking inflation into consideration PS4 will be an incredible bargain.

tony ford that got his phone nicked

you cant even spell playstation and your a maker this should be fun

you failed its xD not dx

PS4 will be compatible with 3D TVs, that doesn't mean it won't play on other TVs that are just regular 720p, 1080p or even older standard def (480p or whatever) screens.

Sony will aim for a price below PS3's release price, tbh no current GPUs, CPUs within the range of products that will work well in a console will cost enough to justify a release at more than $600.
Release for both MS and Sony's next machines will likely be around either late 2013, early 2014.

Allowing nintendo to have much more than a year's head start with a new platform (which will by then be showing just how much better games can look and play on newer hardware will, because developers will be very much getting used the newer features of the Wii U) is an impossibility.

PS3 will be 7 years old in nov 2013 and Xbox 360 will be 8, these machines are very old and in dire need of proper upgrades above some additional motion controller stuff, more efficient, but same level power in components and software upgrades that we've had so far this gen, it is quite frankly time we had new consoles released, what we have now is severely outdated.

This is no guarantee,
where ever you got this from,
it probably is just a rumor.
Altho there is a possibility.

anonymous didn't shut it down sony shut it down to prevent any further hacking threats which is why the increased the secruity

My ps3 cost me 650 euro at launch now she just an ornament ill never buy at launch again

I hear that 1% extra performance is coming out next this year, and then a further 1% in the new year.
Then the PS3 will really shine.

... It's time for the PS4.

They already have 3d games for ps3

This is no guarantee,

FYI i just got my new Samsung d8000 tv a lot better than any of the sony ones

the ps3 is the best

PS3 has hit the limit since Uncharted 2.

Any further improvement would require the assistance of an advanced race of alien beings from another world.
