Sony: PS4's main selling point will be 'new playing options, not improved hardware specs'

 

 

As Sony Computer Entertainment warms up its blue lighting and double-checks its playlist for February 20th, one unnamed SCE official says that the PlayStation 4 will act as more of a home entertainment hub than what we've seen in the past. They added, according to the Nikkei, that the main selling point won't be the rumored eight-core AMD64 CPU or other hardware specs, but how it opens up new styles of play -- something Nintendo is also focusing on. Sony is going to push the new console as a home entertainment "nerve center," with a focus on the hardware's ability to connect and share to mobile devices -- the rival that's pulling gamers awayfrom traditional consoles. No discussion on any Gakai-powered cloud gaming just yet, but following its unveiling later this month, the report states that the new PlayStation should launch before the end of the year. A bit of a shame, then, that it's still only February.

But what will this other main selling point be then? I don't think we've heard any rumors about that? The touchpad it's supposed to have on the controller? Not much of a selling point... And it'll allow you to play games in new ways? THAT I'd like to hear more of.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Sounds rather close to what their competitors are doing. But we should know more in 12 days.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

They said MAIN selling point... and new ways to play... So only if they go all the way and really double the Move controller as a dildo this time around - you know, go all the way with the design...

"ony is going to push the new console as a home entertainment "nerve center""

Same strategy that made the Xbox360 a success.

"on the hardware's ability to connect and share to mobile devices" = SmartGlass

You and all the other girls  ;) And since it would come bundled with dildos the actual console would be rated M, meaning ALL hardcore gamers would buy it and all the "cool" teenage boys as well. It's brilliant!
