(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The PlayStation consoles, which are designed by Sony, are generally accepted as the best gaming consoles on the market and the countdown has already begun for the PlayStation 4 to be released. The release date for the console is estimated at late 2012 as the PlayStation consoles normally have a shelf life of around 6 years. The first console the PS1 was released in 1994, the PS2 was released in 2000 and the PS3 was released in 2006.

The PlayStation console has a fair few competitors in the markets and the moment, with the innovative Nintendo Wii which produces a gaming experience like no other and is very cheap. It also has to compete with its arch enemy, Microsoft’s Xbox which has always tried to match PlayStation in this market.

So what can we expect from the new PlayStation, PS4.

The games will no longer be packaged in cases but instead bought online which would make the game buying process more convenient and Sony hopes making it easy would mean more sales. Specification which has been confirmed include the PS4’s implementation of the chip which shall use 6-8 cores, 24-32MB shared L3 Cache, Quad threading per core, and a double precision performance approaching 200GFLOPS. The current CELL chip which powers the PS3 can achieve 15 double precision GFLOPS at its optimum therefore this means that the PS4’s performance leap would be over 10 fold over its predecessor.

Are you becoming excited about the prospect of a new PlayStation in the near future?

A Thank Wouldent Hurt

Will be interesting for the PS4 to get hacked. I wonder how long it will take this time to piss some hard-core hackers off.

Im probably going to be on Xbox by then.

I don't know about the only way of getting games would be downloading them..
Because imagine when a real popular games comes out .. EVERYONE is going to on the store getting it and more than likely it will crash "/ ?

Games only purchaseable online = FAIL!! no cc or debit card no game!!! no internet no game!!! if you have a cap on your downloads then 1 or 2 games per month!!!!! hdd fail redownload again!!!!!! unless the games are gonna be under 100mb its pointless!!!! im having de ja vous hmmmmm pspGO = FAIL!!!!!!

I Have a Feeling we will have to pay for PSN

Yeah. Let's pay 2000 bucks for the first months. then 1600 bucks and so on..... they can **** themselves.
