PS4 IS TO BE ANNOUNCED FEB 20TH 2013!! IT IS SET TO BE RELEASED IN THE HOILDAY SEASON!
Leaks suggest the console, tipped to be named either PlayStation 4 or Orbis and cost around £300, will feature EIGHT computer chips in its electronic “brain”. That will make it more powerful than a top-end PC and dwarf the capacity of its 70 million-selling PlayStation 3 predecessor. Its ultra-HD quality graphics will be four times as detailed as the PS3’s standard HD. There will also be 3D capability — with further rumours suggesting a new controller, possibly with a built-in touchscreen display.
The console will include the option to play older games and PS3 controllers will still work. It will also have a next generation ultra-HD player — the successor to Blu-ray — and let families view catch-up TV such as iPlayer and access films and music. There is no official indication of what the new machine will look like and it is unlikely to hit stores until after summer. It will then go head-to-head with a new Xbox console from Microsoft, which is likely to be launched in June. Sony yesterday invited journalists to a New York meeting on February 20 where they said they will “talk about the future PlayStation business”. Bosses refused to confirm whether that meant a new console, but internet rumours suggested it did. Sony has previously used such meetings to show off prototypes or detail specifications.

Sounds good, but highly speculative. Also £300 is a pretty reasonable price.

@jhano
I'm a Texan. I use dollars as currency, not pounds. Also, I have much more important things to fund towards, i.e new phone, high school tuition, recreation & social gatherings, etc.

@runo 300 pounds is about $450 US.

I know how much it is. I'm just angry at the fact that I bought the system three years ago, only to have it succeeded and outdated by a newer version in such a short amount of time. It's like buying the iPhone 4s one month before the iPhone 5 comes out. |

@runo After 3 years? Technology is developing faster now then it was when the ps1 came out. Also Sony pretty much had to do it because they were extremely close to completely losing their business to Microsofy, so ya.

Nothing is succeeding the Xbox 360, is it? That's been out much longer than the PS3. |

@runo I'm pretty sure the ps3 was out first.

| Check your facts, the Xbox 360 came out an entire year earlier. |

@runo Well I did not know that. I can't believe I had no knowledge of that console for a year. Man my country is behind.

@kaisher I pretty much see the consoles as equals, I just find the controller for Xbox to big and clunky. Any way the ps4 seems pretty advanced (like the ps3 was) and pretty reasonably priced (like the ps3 wasn't). Any way seems like a pretty cool new console that I am definitely looking forward to.
