platformmaster918 on 04 February 2013

-Launches September 17 (wishful thinking)
-New GG IP at launch
-New SP IP launch window (by May 2014)
-Uncharted 4 launch window
-New MM IP launch window (they're the second most likely to stick with their IP so I could see a LBP3 at launch)
-Motostorm or Wipeout at launch
-$400 and $500 models (one has BC and a bigger HDD)
-PSN is free
-PS+ increases to $60 a year and offers Gaikai streaming for PS2 and PS1 games at launch
-4gb fast RAM and 1080p 60fps games. Allows for easy multitasking from menus and hopping on internet, downloading stuff, and listening to any music while playing a game
-New UI
-Basic controller with slightly larger design, actual triggers, and Vita d-pad
-PSmove 2 introduced as optional add-on with PSeye 3, very precise

If they up the price of games to 70 i may just give up on gaming all together...

I think games will not change in price.
I also think they may prevent any release titles using a number in the title:
Killzone 4
Infamous 3
It just looks tired on release if they do that. I imagine they'll add subtitles instead.

it is possible that some games charge $70 like call of duty but 80% of games might have $60 price tag

I think charging 70$ for any game would be quite the horrible idea.

My prediction, there's no way in hell PS4 will play anything related to 4K. This is a prediction thread, not a dream thread.

I guess once your current subscription ran out you would have to pay the new fee

Well these are more than predictions ;)

1. $450 basic, $550 with double memory and a month of PS+.

2. Backwards compatibility with digital PS3 games only through Gaikai. Other digital content can be locally played.

3. Controller has a central touch pad similar to Ouya. Coincidentally PS4 runs Android. Controller also breaks apart and has full motion sensing.

4. The controller has NFC.

5. Controller has traditionally placed analogs with convex tops.

6. PSEYE 3 is included. Has one camera, 1080x1920 at 30hz or 720x1280 at 60hz, and uses sound to calculate 3D depth.

7. Vita works flawlessly to replicate the Wii U experience. Only difference is it can also work over WiFi allowing full remote play.

8. Infamous 3 is a day one launch title.

9. PS4 can output 4K resolution during menus and content playback. Games are capped at 1080 until 4K TVs become more popular.

10. All games support 3D.

11. Looks similar to the PS2.

12. Can actively record screen output while you play. Also allows screen capture.

13. Games cost $60 still.

14. PSN stays free.

15. PS+ users can "loan" digital content to other PS+ users.

16. GUI is an upgraded version of LiveArea designed to work best with motion controls.

17. Almost all games have motion controls as an option. Of course a few require it.

18. Console is sold for a $160 loss at $450 and a $130 loss at $550.

19. PS4 releases September 17 in Japan and America. Europe gets a release two weeks later.

20. PS4 can be remotely operated by smart devices.

 

The only thing I don't know is when this information will be revealed or if it will change.

Those are some mighty big losses, I think.  Wouldn't it be suicide for sony to do a big loss again.  Didn't they lose well over $200 on the ps3 at launch.  What you suggest is not that far from the ps3 launch losses.  They can make up some of that money if they sell enough software, but I don't know how easy that will be.
