Potentially Major PS4 info leak! *And more*

[Ssliasil]

Let me first start off by saying that I am the first to report this leak.  Also note that this, as with any leaked rumor - should be taken with a grain of salt until further confirmation!

As some of you may know, I am going to school for Game Design and Game Art.  Other than my diehard love for video games, it was a longtime friend of mine that convinced me to go to school for gaming.  Said friend is someone who I have been gaming with since week two of the PS3's Launch, and I know for certain that he is a Sony employee.  (He works in marketing)

For the past several week's I have been begging him for even the smallest bit of Information on the new PS4, but have been ignored around virtually every corner; until recently.

After the new Feb. 20th teaser went up, I again approached said friend and pegged him for announcement information (after all, marketing must have some sort of information at this point right?) and he seemingly cracked.

Now this is the part that you should take with a grain of salt.  All of the above is true, however I am not sure if the following section has any true value - or if I was fed falsified information.  I have been sitting on this for about a day now, contemplating whether or not I even want to make a post about it.  But it cant hurt can it?  So here goes.

***

1.) The PS4

The first thing that I was told, was that the PS4 will launch with two unique SKU's.

---- A.) The traditionally titled -- Playstation 4.

---- B.) and the Interestingly titled -- Playstation 4K.

He did not elaborate on either SKU, so I have been left to ponder what this info could mean.  Will one PS4 be 4k capable, and the other not?  If so, how will that affect PS4 games?  I will leave that up to you to decide.  He did however hint that some of the rumored spec's are fairly accurate in comparison to what his office has been told.

 

2.) THE ORBIS

The second thing said friend mentioned; was Orbis.   According to him, the Orbis codename was not intended for the Playstation 4 - but instead the codename was given to Sony's new line of Playstation Branded 4K T.V.'s.  He did not elaborate on this point, but did mention that they would not launch in line with the PS4.

 

3.) ADD CAMPAIGN'S

The third and final point he bestowed upon me, was information regarding two upcoming ad campaigns designed to promote Playstation.  (Emphasis on the fact that he did not specify this is an ad campaign for the PS4 or Orbis T.V.'s)

These two ad campaigns will air in conjunction with each other and be titled:

---- A.)  Thank. You.

and

---- B.) You. Are. Welcome.

Again, he did not elaborate on the details of these two campaigns.  I can only speculate that the "Thank. You." campaign will focus on paying respect to the Playstation brand's current and loyal userbase; while the "You. Are. Welcome." campaign will take a more direct, show-offy approach to generate more hype and interest outside of Playstation's current userbase.

This is all that I was told, and again - take this all with a grain of salt because there is certainly a chance that I was knowingly fed false information.

Speculate away!
