Forums - Sony - Best rumored thing about the PS4?

That it's not going to be called PS4 but really Orbis. Turns out that ''4'' sounds to much like ''death'' in Japanese.


Pureisutēshon Tsu

Pureisutēshon Surī

What comes next is "fo"

 Playstation uses "english" numbering in Japan.  Not going to get into a huge japanese lesson here, but, Japanese borrows words from other languages.  It actually borrows the most words from english and if you'd watched Sony's vita conference yesterday, you may you should have heard some words like, "discount," or some other things...  drawing blanks here, but whatever.

the number 4 has multiple pronunciations in japanese, incuding "fo," that would be used in the title of the next PS console.  I could get more into that, but, if someone cares, they can explain it.(my memory's not being friendly right now.)

But, anyway, it has not much to do with the way it sounds...  It's not like it would be called "Pureisutēshon Shi" anyway.

Versus 13 being for the PS4 instead of the PS3. Would like to see that game be the best game it can possibly be.
