Damn I only bought the PS3 in Nov 2011 and the PS4 will be coming out in 2013 ;x

I'm gonna either have to get a really good job that pays alot to afford this and the games or wait it out (which I will more than likely) until 2-3 years after the release.


That's the better way anyways, because at that time probably there is a hardware revision (slim or whatever) out and the after-launch game-drought might be finally over.

So if I read this right, the PS4 will be able to have slightly better graphics than the PS3, but will be worse for complex things like physics and AI where teh Cell was masterful.

I suppose you don't need sophisticated AI to make a God of War game.


Where are you getting that?

So the PS4 is a PS3 duct-taped together with a ... Wii?

Direct X is what's killing these rumors for me, I think the people making this crap up should really find out exactly that it is

Yep I'll be doing that with the 3DS as well xD!

Though I really want to get a PSVita and a Wii-U before the end of 2013.


That urge I felt with the 3DS, so I bought it already a year after launch. But at the moment I have enough games to keep me busy.

lol...if both Sony and Microsoft release systems with these specs, I full expect Valve to announce a console and own them both.

A DirectX11-enabled card. That doesn't mean Sony have to offer a DirectX11-API to developers.

Direct X platform is fully owned by MS they couldn't offer it to developers even if they wanted to

I'm not sure how that works, but I'm pretty sure Sony will have no DX-API in their devkit. Might be for the reasons you give. But that doesn't mean they couldn't use this graphics-card, that has for Windows-users a DX11-driver.
