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?


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

Well, I can't comment on Nintendo, but I think Sony's made some pretty good gains in their network infrastructure (there are still issues, don't get me wrong), but the Destiny launch going off without a hitch was pretty telling, imo (let's face it, we all know Destiny on PSN sold a shitload more than DC...so it can't be Sony's servers that are the issue).  Microsoft, is still ahead in regards to stability and agility (esp. to defend from attacks).  But, I think that's a hallmark of Microsoft's roots (Software/Networking).

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.

Yes indeed 90% digital, and that's  because most of them are indies, I still found triple A big budget games like SC, WDog, Civilization, The Sims 4 with DVD lol.

Lol 750M is more of middle ground for gaming laptop, laptop like Apple Macbook 2015 using 750 Gtx for the graphic card, or should i says entertainment purpose,  while the  one  using GTX 760M minimum and up to GTX 780M is for more of gaming. I have one Asus ROG with GTX 770 and it came with Blue ray drive.

well the article mentioned it will comes as a default  SSD althoug it will be upgradable but only using SSD (they said to make even more slimer).

I do believe also, i am not against digital but looking at our current situation (me especially ) i preffering console to have a choice on hard copy for the media.

and one of the reason not all Internet is reliable, but soon maybe 2020 most of the country will have a good conection.

The "I read it on the internet so it must be true" never gets old.

Still I don't see Sony coming with a sleeker version until 2016 or 2017 because the system is already slim, sleek and well built. Tiny improvements will arrive but nothing big.


this. we well see a die shrink and some internal changes. but no "slim" version until 2016

xbox one will have one frist, because its a big console.

I think you're right.

That's Microsoft. :L

"Aesthetics improvement."

Sounds nearly impossible... The PS4 is the most attractive machine I've ever seen.

The PS4 will be getting way more internal revisions as opposed to a full remodeling. Here's an analysis of the PS4 CUH-1000 vs the PS4 CUH-1100 here: http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/10/21/new-ps4-cuh-1100-and-old-cuh-1000-model-compared-differences-found-and-analyzed/

They can also save some money by not including it obviously. It will also keep the console quieter and cooler

The disc drive isn't even running past the disc check. There is no noise from it. The fan system has to be updated to reduce the noise.

They can get rid of the stupid slant. Put back actual buttons. Since they didn't learn from annoying mis-triggers the PS3 fat did. I've shut off my PS4 many times just ejecting soemthing. Or plugging in my USB cable for charging.

Ps4 launched only a year ago. Way to fast to announce a slim version. Maybe 2016.



Madword on 21 October 2014

A slim PS4 will happen, this article and the person who wrote it hasn't got a clue though.
