1. What Will It Be Called?
2. When Will It Release?
3. What Controls Will It Use?
4. Will It Win The Next Console War?

1. Playstation 4
2. 2011 (earliest) 2012 (latest)
3. Dual Shock 4 and some new control system aswell
4. its hard to see it beating the next nintendo console, but it should definetley be able to challenge MS again, if Sony get everything right and/or the others dont, then it has a chance of winning.

What do you think?

part 2 of my future consoles thread.

I thought u post in the off topic only xD

lol, mainly yeah, but i read lots of the gaming sections threads, and obviously im an avid gamer and i own all 3 home consoles!

1. PS4
2. Late 2012
3. Dualshock 4 / PSP2 / Motion / Some kind of special 3D gaming thing
4. Will be a close second to the SuperWii

Those are all very obvious predictions.
Imagine for a second that Sony waits till 2013, and once Microsoft releases a new console in 2011, the PS3 will still be there to share all of the multiplats.
Sony will adopt whatever control peripherals Microsoft includes in their next console within the PS3.
The PS3 can be profitable, and as time goes on, with the increasing HD adoption/ developer capabilities the PS3 is becoming more viable as time goes on. Regardless of sales, the PS3 is just now around the stage of time when it should have been released. (if that makes any sense)

Also as Sony waits longer to enter the next gen, the hardware manufacturing costs of the PS4 will drop, and Sony will be able to enter with a much lower loss leading console.

Sony will probably then keep the PS3 as a competitor with microsofts next console, and the PS4 will include something different like 3D or possibly even VR introduced at a lower price than $600.

1. PlayStation Cloud
2. 2013
3. A DualShock 4
4. possibly, if they play it smart

1. The playstation brand name has been ruined with all the negitive press with the ps3, so i doubt it will be called the ps4.
2. 2011 they will be the first consol of the next gen
3. some kind of motion control
4. if they don't price themselves out of ths market they may finish second.

1) GameWalkman
2) 2016 (hee hee)
3) Touchscreen
4) A distant 4th to Apple

LMAO at #1

Any publicity is good publicity.  You cannot ruin a brand as strong as "PLAYSTATION"  Like Nintendo, too many of us grew up with it for that to happen.

Sorry, I rarely feel such a strong need to comment on such things but come on friend, do you really believe this to be true?

EDIT:  OP...   Looks at avatar... looks at name...

I'll just go with sci-fi Lennon on this one! 

:3

Yeah, it's been a while since the PS3 release ^

so..

1. Sony PlayStation 4
2. 2012
3. Dual Shock (WiiMote version)
4. Nope. Microsoft will take Sony's position.
