Well.... I work for an IT consultancy firm and our job is usually to forecast technology leap. For fun at work, here's what a consultant predicted:
PS4 Specs:
Launch Date: July 2013
CPU: Cell Broadband Engine with 32 Cores (well, that really depends, he's thinking it's gonna be pretty cheap compared to the price of the current CBE when it came out)
RAM: 8 GB
Graphics: RSX GDR 2GB
HDD: 4TB or 1TB SSD
OPTICAL Drive: Blu-ray (probably 400+ GB capactity)
VI: PS Eye 2.x
Controller: PS Wand / DS4
The actual launch price of the PS4 will be $399 - $499 depending on bundle and features. Both Version will include PS Eye and Controller. Surprisingly, if the PS4 does come out in 2013, the PS3 would phase out in 2015 in line with Sony 10 year plan. The PS3 is now over 3 years old.
On a side note, he claims that Natal will be huge but only with the X-Tri (His code name for the next Xbox - Which I think is catchy and MS will jump on)

That made me laugh uncontrollably.

You may think he is kidding but if Moore's usual law is to be followed for Intel CPUs as well as the CBE, Then in 4 years time, a 16-32 core CBE is highly likely. 8 GB ram is quite normal right now... a lot of people have that on their PCs and a great many already have Graphic cards at 1GB Ram. 1TB HDD is common aswell... ~250GB SSD is already in production. The 400GB blu-ray is already in the working prototype stage so in all likelyhood, you should be able get content on those. The PS4 will probably have a much higher reading speed than they do now...
Moreover, XBox-Tri will come out in 2012.
