Digital only console? If it happened, then... Oh boy...

To Sony. Please have more servers.

It's weird, isn't it?  Destiny sets all types of PSN records, including the most day 1 sales of any game offered on PSN, ever, and there weren't widespread complaints about inability to download Destiny.  Do you think it's fair to assume that the servers Evolution uses for DC, aren't the same as the ones Sony uses for PSN downloads?

It's too early to announce a slim model, especially this early in the console new cycle. Maybe around 2018-2019 at the earliest.

Lol 2018 it's too late, if we trying to remember again, PS3 slim came on 2009 and that's 3 years after the released of the original one, and PS2 slim came on 2004 after 4 years released. Probably 2017 late we will see the slim version

Doubt it. The only way this would be true is if its a digital only PS4, perhaps cheaper, that's sold along side the current model.

i know everyone is going to pick on the "no optical drive" bit but..

..i'm already 100% digital on my console. i'd be game for a sku that trades in an optical drive for a bigger/faster hard drive. that wouldn't be the sku for everyone,.. hell it wouldn't even be the sku for most people. ..but it would be a good sku for me.

Same here. But my reason for that is of an economical nature

The bolded parts show that this is fake and who ever came up with it must be smoking some good shit..

with games now being so big in size the console would need at least a 500GB SSD, last i checked they aint cheap and with the PS4 Sony's whole design this gen has been to save money something this clearly wouldnt do.

And then it will allow 1080P gaming? O_o.. dont think i need to say any more on that! lol..

Anyway like every gen i do believe Sony will make a slim PS4 but this is just fake news to get clicks

Laptops today rarly ships with drives anymore..   Digital world is coming.. you can't fight it.. lol 

 

But..  By 2016.. They could easily include 2TB versions of the PS4 and X1 without drives.. they are CHEAP.. and you are elminiating the drive..   like I said early.. They could sell the 2 versions.. PS Slim without drive for $299 and with drive for $349..   in 2016.. late 2016..

laptop today rarely ships with drives ??? yes, but most are for general purpose laptop, for gaming laptop they still included one, or at least most of it.

Yes they will be cheeper in the near future, but the article said they will use SSD instead of HDD so the article it self already defeat the purpose of having SSD on digital only consoles. Even if they include more bigger capacity of SSD the price will be very expensives.

Huh? PC gaming is 90% digital.. I just bought a "gaming laptop"  i7 with Geforce 750M...     no drive..   

Many $1000+ laptops do not have drives..  they aren't "general puprose"..

I doubt the SSD part..   it will be 2-3TB HD..  if it were an all digital console.    

I do think digital purchasing will evolve on both consoles and become more cost effective.. That will lead the charge..  and by 2016/2017 Broadband speeds should have made a more substanial leap.. and availability will be better worldwide.

Predictions on 12/01/15 - Generation 8 Totals:

PS4: 85-95m
X1: 55-65m
WiiU: 20-30m

You cannot have a digital only console with an SSD in this day and keep the cost low. a 500gb SSD would make the console very expensive and I don't think the lack of Disk Drive would compensate fully for it.

Could be.

I do believe Sony & Nintendo should have stronger servers, to stay stable without any effective crash due to traffic or something, like it happened to Nintendo eshop got crashed last year christmas 2013, i dunno what else causes.

Oh yeah, i almost forgot, maintenance is annoying. I know, at least they need to fix it in case. xD

Only way to be digital only is for the players to be able to purchase elsewhere than the PSN Store. Otherwise they will have price control. Competition is good.
