If,and that a big fucking If! If the "compute unit" is some sort of spu "cell" like processor with its own pool of ram. Even more important then the backwards compatibility implementation are the benefits it could have for PS4 games!

The "new account" system already works on PS3, doesnt it? I'm pretty sure that it is possible to have dual PSN login on Resistance 2 coop. I'm not sure if the 2nd player can earn trophies however, but i think dual PSN login should work at least.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
I called a touch-pad rather than an actual screen quite a while ago. Will be interesting if it has a back one as well though.

Is this just a combination of two rumors? I would think Kotaku's source would mention something important like that, rather than droning on about multiple simultaneous user profiles (something that anyone could have guessed, since 360 has had it all along).
Still, it would make the math almost believable. 2048 MB + 256 MB = 2304 MB = 2.25 GB, but any elementary schooler would know that rounds up to 2.3 GB.
I still think this is just Kotaku being their usual selves. Except this time they didn't even label it as a rumor. How did they confirm their source is the same guy that was behind the Durango devkit story? Was that devkit ever even confirmed to be real? Who is in possession of this PDF? Why the funky RAM spec? Why the hyper-focus on one boring aspect of the OS? Where is this touchpad located on the controller(surely developers would know this)?

if they had 90 pages of PDF documents on the ps4 they'd be scrambling to release it as it would be inevitable that those documents would have been released to someone else. theyre full of shit.
I do not understand why people are so against a rear touch pad. Sure for gameplay it is likely to be poorly implemented but it could be good for menu navigation. Especially OS navigation. In certain games it could be fun. LBP type games come to mind. Even in a shooter it could be used from something like melee, opening a door, or some for of object interaction. It is likely to be used for shitty QTE events but as long as they infrequent I think it will be ok. Also a full touch screen on the front would increase the controller cost a lot. The rear touch on the Vita is a pretty cheap piece of hardware. Who knows maybe Sony will try to use some Vita components in the new controller to help drive the cost of the Vita down.

We need good news to cheer us up from this THQ mess.

Not really, Durango is 8GB and i believe the dev kits were supposedly 12GB.
Sorry guys, this is wrong.
The devkit specs are wrong?

Sorry guys, this is wrong
As in this is not the dev kit specs or that it deoesnt reflect the targetted specs for the final console?

IF you have information, why not just leak it? Since you clearly discuss this stuff all day long anyway, and aren't scared of any NDA.

Good question. Absolutely no point in stringing people along.

Dont believe he would have signed any NDA at all if he is not a direct source himself. Websites obviously dont worry and cant be forced to reveal sources as far as i know, if that is a concern to anyone.

For what it's worth, I was just talking to a supposedly Foxconn employee:
Interesting if true because the employee supposedly works at the Chongqing LCD TV and module plant:

What's preventing an 8-core Bulldozer from being used inside a Dev Kit?

So if this is true, wouldn't it have less bandwidth than the 360 for all those people that kept saying Orbis was going to be a shit ton better because it had more bandwidth at it's disposal. If it's 8GB in the devkit, surely it's less in the retail, and apparently the Durango retail is 8GB? But of course, nobody believes this one. I don't see how either of them have any credibility in any case.
Bandwidth != RAM.
Leaks are coming every day. I think we are getting a pretty good idea of what the final consoles will be like. The missing pieces are really the control interfaces at this point.
Yeah, it would be for a dev unit genius.

precisely.
in fact, if you read what kotaku posted in the actual article, they said they didn't have the doc at all- THEIR 'SOURCE' has the doc but only shared that small amount of info (about the account system) with them.
I'd give you a clue but unfortunately they are in short supply on GAF these days - you'll have to get your own.

8GB of GDDR5 would be really expensive...

I'm all for a touchpad or biometrics but not a touch screen. I would always prefer a single screen but I wouldn't mind cross control and especially lag-free remote play on the Vita.
Also big and hot.

if it was originally 4GB of GDDR5 and they decided to upgrade to 4GB DDR3 + 4GB GDDR5, would devs be pissed at them all over again for splitting the pool?
