ps4 V.4 e3


More precisely:  

 

PS4 v4.0

 

Yeah, no mention of e3. ^_-


guess thats what i get for watching it in 480 :D



Around the Network

Well knowing Sony and their "leaks" , i would expect a PS4 at E3, Not a hole new system but a Wii type upgrade (Just enough power for 3D) bundled with Motion controls.



Well according to the info that I saw at N4G, http://n4g.com/news/540206/sony-listing-ps3-priced-from-199-just-in-time-for-playstation-move  the PS3's price is coming down to $199 which I said would be a great move for them as it would allow them to sell more exclusives and expand the blu-ray market (and since there's a popular blu-ray model already selling for $180 at Wal~Mart without the ability to play PS3 games, they will be able to do).We're going to see some massive sales for PS3 over the next months and MS and Nintendo's only response will have to be price cuts.It should be interesting for the first little bit to see the Nintendo Sony battle at the $199 price point.  Some Nintndo fans say last year's Sony price drop and month of dominance had nothing to do with Nintendo's price drop.  But, I suspect the PS3 at $199 will prove that theory wrong and it won't be long before we see Wii models at $150 with WSR and NSMWii or Galaxy 2 in the box as pack-ins.

guess what else i found ps3 the current one that is may be getting a price reduction, but the source i think may have got mixed up as seen as we all know you can apply for a sony credit card to get the deal http://www.maxconsole.net/content.php?40458, lol if that comes true 360 and wii are both doomed and it will be 2006 all over again (please bare in mind chances are this price cut won't happen)


If the price cut is true, it will definitely help Sony sell more consoles and improve their market share.

I can understand you saying the 360 might be doomed because the PS3 isn't THAT far behind, but saying the Wii is doomed might be going a little far. :P

i know but this is how i see it the playstation fan base (120 million) is still out there, if this kind of price cut happens i realistically cannot see why loads of them would not return back to ps, so yeah saying wii was doomed was a little harsh,  where what i meant was ps3 will outsell the wii for the rest of this generation  (if the price cut happens)

[Insert negative comments on Sony Fans beliefs of PS3 longevity]



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

it makes total sense. If the other OS removal does infact free up another spu to the point in which developers will be incouraged to use it for 3D, then Sony is brilliant.

I doubt we will see boxes with "PS4" on them, but dear lord.... what if ?

by the way... this is the most revelatory thread I have seen in a while, nice work leo!


the thing is developers dont use the spu, if they use 2 spu its saying much

I'm not sold on 3D.  Was less than impressed when I tried it at CES this year.  And how many PS3 owners actually have 3D-capable TV's?  

More processing power would be nice, of course, but then you have the lag in dev cycle where games aren't going to do much with it for 2 years after it's introduced - especially when 95% of the games are multi-platform and already aren't optimizing the platform's power.  

A new interface is welcome, in my opinion.  I find the current one a bit cold.  

I'm also willing to spring for PSN Plus if it offers something worthwhile, pending price.  If it does indeed offer free games each month, it'd be worth it  - - though i am a bit skeptical on that.  Offering people free games doesn't exactly further entice them to buy software.  I wonder how devs/pubs feel about that.  Obviously the ones who would be supplying the games for that month would be paid for them, but does it hurt the purchase of other games and therefore lessen the motivation for people to make new, exclusive awesome games?  Hard to gauge that without more solid downloadable sales numbers.

Looking forward to E3 on all fronts to get some details and facts with all the rumors regarding all games and platforms.  :D  Next week should be a national holiday!

Its going to be Free apps. some will be games but just made by general public

As For the price at 199$ i really hope its true id buy it just to pla FF14. though id hate to be the guy that bought it at 499$ =/ and looking at prices like this.

It makes alot of sense price wise anything more is just to expencive if they want to fight under the new  nintendo Market there is simply nothing Other to do then copy Nintendo and drop cost for consule unit.

Well they could inovate but that would actually take a few years of engeneering and working out the kinks. and thats taking for granted Sony has a devloment team of engeneers  well funded with a Lab  and a Company Memo and a vision about what it wants to make and that idea actually being good.

If they have this in place Plus this price drop. I can see PS3 reversing the situation of the Nintendo. But thats leaving Xbox 360 out of the equation. so

Id hate to be in Sony's or MS place right now. they have to pull somthing huge like this and it still has a chance at blowing all up in there face's

Yeah but expecting 120 million people from the PS2 fan base to move to the PS3 even at that price point sure is wishful thinking. Not to mention many of those 120 million people were into the PS2's casual market and now have the Wii, and no doubt some went to the 360. It might top the Wii for a few months (maybe more) once the price is cut, but I wouldn't say it would outsell the Wii for the rest of the generation. That's just what I think of course.

Lol indeed it would take years, and maybe you are right maybe it is wishful thinking, but you can't deny that once you have had the ps experience it is hard not to want to experience it again, i think most of the Wii owners are waiting for the right price in my own opinion....

anyway lets return back to the topic as I don't want to push my luck, roll on E3!!
