"Confidential"?

Obvious fake or Sony set a super obvious canary trap that someone fell for anyway.

tilted and off screen? check and check.

Also, notice how they took pictures of a screen instead of posting actual screenshots? That's so people can't run image analysis on it to confirm how obviously fake this is.

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyup.

It's about as inconspicuous as my "TOTALLY NOT PORN" porn folder.

Too soon?

If this is legit I will actually upload a photo of me eating a tomato.

Thats fake as shit.

Must not have a HDD. Now sell me that puppy for $200 and let me pick any external HDD i want i would jump on that in a heartbeat.

Nothing screams fake like offscreen email photos titled CONFIDENTIAL.

NoctisVsStar · Jan 23, 2015

Faker than Chinatown

sappyday · Jan 23, 2015

The PS4 is already a good size as it is. I don't see the point of a slim especially this early one.

FriedConsole · Jan 23, 2015

Phone cam shots of images on a computer? The guy had acesss to the computer was alone enough to take a picture but not enough to get the image off the computer?

Beyond fake.

When the time comes for a redesign it will have a smaller footprint but I doubt it will be thinner, if anything maybe thicker. Sony needs to replace the junky cooler with something that runs quiet. Cranking the hair dryer up a notch in return for a thinner console, something that doesn't benefit the user, is pointless.

Night Angel · Jan 23, 2015

It looks like the side with PS4 on it AND the disc side are both angled. How would this manage to stand up? Fake and ga

rish design.

potam · Jan 23, 2015

I'm currently looking at a Google document that clearly has "Confidential" on every page. So...

edit: not saying the pics are real, but all the "lol @ confidential" arguments are bad.

Perfect Cha0s · Jan 23, 2015

Aside from the other try-hard shit that makes this look fake, Sony would have to be out of their fucking minds to make a console that is slanted to the side when the disc slot is facing forward.

I just noticed that too, and that the disc slot would be pointed up like a goddamn toaster with the way they show it upright.

Someone was really lazy.

HAL-x9000 · Jan 23, 2015

Way too small for actually working.

SuperStiltzkin · Jan 23, 2015

Too early, too small, too fake.

Honestly, the PS4's form factor is simple and compact enough that a slim model wouldn't really excite me that much.

There certainly will be a PS4 slim in the future, and with how small they got the ps2 slim to be in 2004 they should be able to make a ps4 just as small in 2016 seeing as it was already quite small on launch.

I'm not sure, chips aren't shrinking as fast as they used to. And even when they do shrink, there's not as large a drop in power usage, so the system will still need a lot of cooling.

If you compare it to the PS3, the PS4 is already the slim version of the beast that would have come out in 2011.

Beatrix · Jan 23, 2015

Looks confidentially fake. Design doesn't make sense to me with the disc slot on the side. I love the current PS4 model. I couldn't even imagine what a slim design would entail.

Maximus. · Jan 23, 2015

The lack of vents is off putting. The PS4 is loud and shits out a ton of hot air. I don't doubt a slim model will come out and for all we know this could be an early mock up of a potential revision. Sony is good with the slim models, so I am excited to see what comes next. It's crazy to think that the slim model is going to be smaller, when the PS3 had issues shedding down its size.

Apoleptica · Jan 23, 2015

Remark said:
I just remembered. Where would the HDD go? This fake :'<

2.5" SATA hard drives and solid state drives are quite small, it's more of the junk around them that takes up more space.

enigmatic_alex44 · Jan 23, 2015

I hope that's fake, it looks awful. Way too small and boring. PS4 is the first time Sony nailed the design of a console on it's first version so I'm happy with the iconic design we currently have.

RBK · Jan 23, 2015

Pretty impressive even if it's fake.

MNC · Jan 23, 2015

Our internal documents that are confidential always say confidential.. Why is that so weird?

KINGofCRA5H · Jan 23, 2015

damn... hawt

teiresias · Jan 23, 2015

The aesthetics are nice and "Sony looking", but the size just screams out it's an obvious fake. I mean, the APU is already on the 28nm process node, and we still haven't gotten high-end PC GPUs on the smaller nodes yet.

Aliquidmeri · Jan 23, 2015

It's cute how they forgot to put the PS logo on the first fake render.

FatalT · Jan 23, 2015

Notice how OP (gembel) created the thread and hasn't posted in it. He knows it's fake too, the asshole.

Oublieux · Jan 23, 2015

I like the aesthetics, but in terms of design, having a side slot-loading BD drive is not that great for user functionality--placing it in an entertainment center would cause a ton of awkwardness.

CONFIDENTIAL, totally legit.
Looks very nice though.

but hey its still fun to poke a little fun

kamakazi5 · Jan 23, 2015

Looks too small to be real but who knows. I can hope.

Also, my job uses the CONFIDENTIAL tag on stuff so I don't think that's necessarily out of place.

def sim · Jan 23, 2015

oh so it's cooled by magic

Skux · Jan 23, 2015

Well of course it's legit, it even says "CONFIDENTIAL" right there.

It's impossibly small for all the hardware they'll put in it.

Sony had the ps4 hardware planned and designed probably a year if not longer prior to it's release, so taking that into account they have had a lot of time since then to plan a hardware redesign. Sony has incredible hardware engineers at their disposal and I wouldn't doubt them for a second that they could pull off a ps4 that was as slim as the one in the OP. Looking at ps2 to ps2 slim, and ps3 to ps3 super slim sony was able to carve off roughly 50% of the size in thickness and I expect something at least close to that margin with a ps4 slim. I just don't expect to see it anytime soon.

allotheabove123 · Jan 23, 2015

I like the original design more. But if its real then i'm impressed by the size. Like... wow.

Guys, they did say, "Design & Specifications are subject to change without notice."

PS4 slim leaked?

Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
