PlayStation 4 (Concept & Speculations from Play Magazine)

Is This What PlayStation 4 Looks Like?

Ryan King

PS4 takes one step closer to reality.

The first images of what could be the PlayStation 4 has emerged, as found in the latest issue of Play magazine.

Play commissioned artist Ross Board to design the image based on Sony’s product line and history, technology trends and the likely architecture of the PlayStation 4 itself.

Play believes the PlayStation 4 will have a Blu-Ray drive, in spite of the recent Gaikai deal. The outlet also believes Sony’s next console will feature an internal power source, four USB 3.0 ports, PowerXCell and will continue to use DualShock as its primary input device.
“The next generation will arguably the last that uses physical media,” the magazine writes. “Downloads and streaming means publishers don’t have to worry about second-hand sales, while the continued success of services shows digital is the way forward. Problem? UK’s broadband infrastructure is poor.”
The latest issue of Play is available now from newsagents, iTunes, Imagine Shop andgreatdigitalmags.com.

That looks very nice. Sure would be nice if Sony uses that design.

[Ghost-Rhayne]

Fuck that's some sexy shit in my eyes! Please Sony!

[DeviousOne]

Shiggity...thats Sexy!!

I believe the next gen is going to be the LAST console gen Period!

Looking good, but please, get rid of that eye-soring blue orb. It's hideous
Other than that it looks pretty damn fine.

I don't understand how you guys like that design, looks like a DVD-R to me kinda looks like my DirecTV DVDR lol, to each is own though.

I do hope it's something more sophisticated, classy and elegant looking device.

Thats the same Wii i have. Wow when i read it back sounds funny LOL

I hate concept designs. they are just meaningless guesswork. Also, it'll be a bad day when they do away with physical media. Look at the prices of current games on the store...its a ripoff. No more competition in the shops or ebay, no more bargains.

[Blacksite]

It looks okay. It's missing a PlayStation 4 logo though.

[Kuro]

It's alright i kinda like the look.

I'm a bit indifferent to it myself. But it does remind me of the rumored PlayStation Orbis title which, the more I say, the sillier it sounds.

That's the day I stop buying new consoles. I'll just play older gen games. Never will I buy into full on digital distribution.

It wouldn't surprise me if it still suppots Blu-Ray despite acquiring Gaikai. Like I said in another topic, Sony will most likely continue to support physical media for at least 5 years, giving gamers enough time to fully embrace the digital world before turning their Playstation 4(Or whatever they'll call it), into the standard console for all gaming and beyond.

Sounds reasonable to me

[YoungMullah88]

meh they better put 2 of those usb ports in the back (yeah i know its a concept art)! thats one thing i love Microsoft did with the 360

[Bigdoggy]

I don't see how people actually think that Consoles will do away with physical media o.O it's ridiculous and here's why. Not every country has excellent internet speeds or internet as a whole. even in 9 years from now if they did away with physical media you would see a HUGE drop in console sales which they wouldn't like. i think some people are getting ahead of themselves by decades.

[Jet_Cobra]

that concept is nice but the buttons on the front just look like a sticker

[Kopkiwi]

Phwoar that is a sexy looking beast. Imagine a gleeming white or silver.

[Evoking1230]

WOW! I hope thats the design they go with. One sexy beast!

[D3seeker]

Looks MEH! Try again.
