First of all, with most of these rumors, unless they provide pics/vids, are just people's guesses masked as rumors by saying it came from an anonymous source, designed to get hits. Then when the system comes out, the rumors are either forgotten about or if they are called out on it, they just say that Sony must have just changed plans. I believe the launch date could prove to be accurate, give or take a month or so. I also think the general price range to be about right, ~$399-$499. However, I highly doubt for that price they are only going to be including a 160GB HDD or have only a small upgrade when compared to the Wii U, which itself is only a small upgrade from the PS3 and 360 (we will see SLIGHTLY better looking games compared to the PS3 when developers learn to use the HW to the fullest.) Sony wouldn't come out with a new system that is only a small leap from the previous gen. Never have, never will. As for the headset, I definitely see them releasing something like that. However, I see it being an add-on you buy separately. Sony is not going to be packing such a nice piece of tech into the Premium package at a measly $100 more. They would lose $100s on each console, something I don't think Sony wants to repeat. It's also funny how many different rumors they have put together, but don't even mention an improved PS Eye, which is a definite for next gen. Not only will Sony want to improve tracking of the Move controllers (may see upgrades to them, too), but they will also want to improve head and body tracking compared to the PS Eye, as well as Kinect. |
There are some patents flying around some where about Sony's new eye. It's uses sonar to scan your environment and you. So it's going to destroy anything Kinect is capable of. Because unlike Kinect it could see every bit of you at once, even find stuff that under you couch. It's the same tech I used in auto body to scan a cars frame for damage, and the same thing they use to scan lakes for bodies.
