| Intrinsic said: I don't see much internal changing happening in the PS4. Yh, in a few years the APU may be made a little smaller but its already on a 28nm process so we shouldn't expect size reductions too soon. The only place i see them saving space is with the GDDR5 ram. Right now they are made up of 512MB clamshell modules. In 2-3 years they very well could be 1GB clamshell modules instead. edit This is also old news, the PS4 in question was probably the white PS4 SKU. |
In fact, because it's too soon to make dramatic change to the PS4, but they registered the new PS3 and PS4 model together, that's why I'm suggesting that there might be a link between the two.
Microsoft released a slimmer Xbox 360 to match the design of the Xbox One, but the super slim PS3 however has been criticized for it's poor build and design.
So it would make sense that, because the PS4 is also not backward compatible, they release a new smaller PS3 model to accompagny the PS4. And Sony still makes the PS3 because it's the most selling old-gen console, there's a user base of 80 millions users, so developpers won't stop developping for it anytime soon.
