PS Now/ Native B/C - Backwards compatibility is coming and with options.

Cloud TV - Sony will be bringing Live TV/ PPV/ On Demand directly to the console.

PS EYE/Motion/Voice Control - Both of these are already in place, and will only see improvements as the gen goes on.

4K - PS4 is capable of 4 layer Blu-rays which should hold 4K films. Netflix/PSN/and other services will bring 4K to PS4. Trine 2 devs have said the game is 4K ready right now, just needs the system firmware to allow it.

3D - The system is more than capable of this, and they can not be stupid enough to leave this out.

Head Mounted Display - Many rumors have this coming soon, and from many insiders, this and Oculus Rift are something to behold. This could be the motion gimmick of this gen.

Honestly this list could go on, and on, and on. Sony has hit a home run with this console, and sans some kind of major image damaging issue, PS4 should continue to sell, and most likely gain more steam. As long as MS keeps Kinect bundled they will always be more expensive. PS4's APU is less complex, and GDDR5 prices are falling, so they should never have an issue matching or beating MS in price even sans the Kinect.

If Sony can keep the throttle down. They should start to pick up exclusive App's, services, and games. They could easily have another PS2 on their hands, and possibly the first 200M console.

You had me till 200 million. I was thinking 125 mil TOPS.

Thats what is great about a new generation, anything is possible. They may end up capping out at 80M like PS3 or they could set a new benchmark. In its lifetime I expect PS4 to become a complete multimedia machine (Movie/Music/Live TV/PPV/On Demand/E-book reader/Games/Apps/PS Home/Share/ect.). All of that will be connected with much improved multitasking to what we see in it or XBO today, better voice controls, and faster and easier ways to switch between apps. Plus thanks to X86 and GCN I expect the console to hit $200 within the first 3 years, and if Sony's TV service, PS Now, and PS Plus catch on they could sub the system, and get it in home for free on a contract.

Anything is possible, and IMO a games console that could do everything a tablet or iPhone can do at 1/3 the price could easily put up some funky numbers.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
