PS4: BC with everything Playstation? "Media leaks more info"

**TGO** · 02-02-2013

SONY is set to unveil its new PlayStation on February 20 — with film-quality graphics and ten times the processing power of the PS3.
Leaks suggest the console, tipped to be named either PlayStation 4 or Orbis and cost around £300, will feature EIGHT computer chips in its electronic “brain”.

That will make it more powerful than a top-end PC and dwarf the capacity of its 70 million-selling PlayStation 3 predecessor.

its ultra-HD quality graphics will be four times as detailed as the PS3’s standard HD. There will also be 3D capability — with further rumours suggesting a new controller, possibly with a built-in touchscreen display.

The console will include the option to play older games and PS3 controllers will still work. It will also have a next generation ultra-HD player — the successor to Blu-ray — and let families view catch-up TV such as iPlayer and access films and music.

There is no official indication of what the new machine will look like and it is unlikely to hit stores until after summer.

It will then go head-to-head with a new Xbox console from Microsoft, which is likely to be launched in June. Sony yesterday invited journalists to a New York meeting on February 20 where they said they will “talk about the future PlayStation business”.

Bosses refused to confirm whether that meant a new console, but internet rumours suggested it did. Sony has previously used such meetings to show off prototypes or detail specifications.
