PS4 should not be so powerful next gen?

if they really are hoping for a 10 year cycle for the ps3 then they will probably release the ps4 in 8 years after the ps3 launch. i wonder if broadband downloads will be widely used.

but, if they are still using disks for storage - safe assumption that it will be blu ray, in that case - then the only thing that i really hope for is a faster bluray drive. the load times are ridiculous right now.

 

Actually if you look at the history of Sony consoles, they launch a new console about every 5 to 6 years. The PS1 launched in December of 1994, the PS2 in March of 2000, and the PS3 in November of 2006. The PS4 will probably hit in 2011 or 2012 based on Sony's prior history.
