While browsing through the new issue of gameinformer i found this interesting post of rumors of Playstation 4 and how they describe the possibilities of it actually coming true
PlayStation 4
It Won't Use The Cell Processor
A Forbes article earlier this year claimed Sony is going
with an AMD GPU as opposed to the proprietary Cell
CPU/NVDIA GPUcombo that powered the PS3. While this
would make the system easier to develop for, it would
mean Sony is backing away from its commitment to Cell.
It could also mean no PS3 backward compatibility for the PS4
Rumor Probability: 50/50
The PS4 Will Use a kinect-like motion Controller
This rumor from Digitimes (which covers tech manufacturing)
seems far-fetched.Not only would its life cycle, but Wedbush analyst Michael
Pachter says the rumor comes from Chinese manufacturers' claims that capacity
in factories has been reserved.''The thing that's so funny is that Sony makes
so many different products. How do we know what they reserved capacity for?''
he asks. ''Its just so crazy.'' This report also said the PS4 would come out alongside the
Wii U this year ....
Rumor Probability: Not Likely
It Retains Blue-ray
''Of course,'' Pachter says. TVs that can support the next high-definition standard are years from
being adopted, and Sony CEO Kaz Hirai told Develop that downloaded distribution is still way off.
