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 P 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
