I mean what can ps3 upgrade to right now?
PS1 - CD-ROM (JUST GAMES)
PS2 - DVD-ROM (GAMES & LAN)
PS3 - BLU-RAY (Multi-media)
From what I read out there faster processor,new format of disk and yeah. Just have to wait for E3, but guess they don't want to follow in Nintendo's footsteps with the Wii U - stock fall
They're still selling the PS2! What does that say?
PS2 Sales are very slow, only picked up due to December. Don't be shock come June/July most retailers stop stocking stuff.Originally Posted by Fudzy
2011 saw Fifa 2012, PES2012 and couple Ben10 games only
About bloody time!
What is known about the PS4 st the moment? (I'm not being lazy but most game and console sites are blocked here at work).
Has there been some kind of announcement?
I guess time will tell! And although I agree that there is still alot the ps3 can still do but in the link I post they saying that the reason for the launch of the ps4 is because of the lack of memory available on the ps3. Now I dont know how true this is because the ps3 was launched about 10years ago and it could be just that. I am hoping the ps4 is not going to be launched because I recently bought a ps3 which means it would be kind of a waist lol
Not going to happen..
Sony has taken a financial BEATING with the PS3... and its only just about started to break even from what I know... their shareholders would not be approving them phasing out something that is now profitable for something that will have to be a lossleader..
2013/2014 are the earliest we will see the PS4.... we might start seeing more concrete rumours and information this year, but thats abou tit.

IMHO Sony would be foolish to ship the next generation to late again after the opposition. There is no reason why the PS4 cannot co-exist with the PS3 and the PS2 get dropped. Look how well this concept works with cell phones and other modern consumer electronics. All that's required to be maintained must be backwards compatibility.
+1 I think they learnt their lesson, iirc they only started making a profit about 2 years ago.
I'm interested to see how the PS Vita does. Too closely named to Vista for my liking.
Very definitely agree... but the next xbox is only expected in 2013, so its about spot on for Sony to release the next PS as well in that time frame... they may be later than MS, but not a year later like they were with the PS3

To have backwards compatibility they'd have to either simply a release a faster version of the same design or something fast enough to emulate the old design. I doubt they'd build in an entire PS3 (the backward compatible PS3 models included all or part of the PS2).
Not sure how comparable the co-existence of multiple console generations is to other types of devices.
Wonder how long it will take to hack it this time
You suck at math
Was launched in Nov 2006 which makes it just over 5yrs old. Predicted lifespan is 8yrs.

The main problem with the original PS3 was that the PS2 hardware was so completely different. The PS4 would most probably be based on the same chip-set, just more advanced and powerful with many more cores and bigger memory, so the backwards compatibility should not be an issue at all.
Correct. So far rumours point to an upgraded cell being used. Only fly in the ointment is that it's rumoured that all the next gen consoles will use AMD for GFX. Having to swop from nVidia may cause issues.
