A new Playstation 4 could be less than 18 months away according to a Sony insider. The device will include the same chipset as the current PS3 but where it will differ from the current model is in the drive bay and in the attachment area. It will also include an extensive software suite for the managing of content being streamed to a TV or Hi Fi source.

In addition Sony is working on improving the output experience so that the device can become a true home entertainment centre eliminating the need for a media centre. "We have even looked at a Sony home server based on Playstation technology. This would allow consumers to connect home automation devices to the Sony server while also delivering online gaming and access to an extensive movie and music library" said one Sony source.

Ken Kutaragi, the retiring chief executive of Sony Computer Entertainment said in an interview last week that he clearly understands how the PlayStation game consoles should evolve in the next three generations, or fifteen to twenty years from now. He also said that in future it will be possible to create fully Internet-based game consoles.

Wow, seems sony has tired of increasing the hardware configuration. They learned that itll take years to develop a game which would even stress a PS3 to max.
The first thing they should do is to give a complete pack of accessories and some free games along with 2 or 3 BD movies along with it.
Also they shudve improved the looks of the controller. Even if its very technologically advanced one[with SIX AXIX & 2.4GHz RF], its looks like a 1st generation gamepad. Also they shouldn't have removed that COMPATIBILITY chip from the Asian version. Most of PS2 games wont be playable coz of that.

it will not be a full-fledged succesor to ps3. it will just be an enhancement. ps3's games will run on ps4. and the main harware will be the same as in ps3.

even ps2 had a re-enhancement. it was called PSX which sold pretty badly.

so, nothing to get too excited about, dude. sony has suffered so badly from PS3 that it will keep it's nose clean for atleast a few years to come.
