Not to say this is real, but people really don't think actual confidential documents have "Confidential" on them? Wow.

All joking aside, I work at an Army Depot and there have been tons of times that I've handled confidential documents have been labeled confidential (the type of documents you can't leave around and must send to the shredder boxes when finished). Sometimes even stamped confidential, like out of some cheesy TV detective show.

It's pretty funny actually.

But yes this is fake.

 

[KCroxtonJr]

Don't believe this at all, not because of the size but because of the split between materials going from horizontal to vertical when the system is standing up. Doesn't make any sense and looks stupid.

 

[Pestilence11]

The PS4 would melt trying to play..itself.

 

[Ayumi]

Must be real.

 

[madmackem]

Just seems fake. Also, Monolith as a code name for a slimmer model? I don't think the Sony design department is going to make such an ironic name

They made a tv with the same name, it was slant like this design.

 

[VICTORsaurio]

The pictures ate too clear to be true.

 

[kitschbeam]

100% FAKE Y'ALL

 

[kamakazi5]

I really can't tell who is or isn't joking about the confidential thing anymore. There are several reasons this could be called fake but that definitely isn't one of them.

 

[Last_colossi]

Not really. A die shrink and half the memory chips couldn't account for this kind of size decrease.

No but it would be possible to manufacture as most of the ps4's size and weight comes from the fan, heatsink and power supply. If AMD could shrink the APU die size in half as well as the TDP then theoretically that would produce half the heat thus would make the heatsink and fan half the size, also if sony made the power supply external I think they could shrink the ps4 down to about the size of this "leaked model". That being said I still think this looks fake a fuck.

 

[HooYaH]

USB finally in the back? Nah, that would break Sony's tradition, so I call fake.

 

[Silurus]

The fact that this says "CONFIDENTIAL" in all caps right in the file name should be ringing alarm bells in people's head.

Exactly what I thought. Fake.

 

[lifeexpectancy]

Can someone post a pic that's NOT blocked by my work firewall? Just curious to see it, even if it's probably fake.

 

[HowZatOZ]

The hell are the insides. Its like the size of a Surface Pro.

[vesvci]

I'll say fake. It's too early in the game for a slim model. That being said its never too early for the XBO to get a slim version.

 

[ShadyJ]

Thank God I waited

 

[Awayze]

Doesn't make sense. The power supply, blu ray, cooling fan can't fit in there.
Unless it's something like another PS4 for another room in the household so you insert the disc in the small one but it uses the processing power of the main fat one. Feasible with mobile energy efficient components

 

[RedAssedApe]

Likely fake. I certainly hope so, at least, as side loading is a terrible idea. It wouldn't work at all in a normal entertainment setup unless you turned the system sideways.

yup...disk loading from the side annoyingly limits your options. no way this is real. if it is...it would be one of the rejected designs.

 

[Goodacre0081]

anyone know what that Sony book is in the third picture?

your describing Vita TV minus the disc drive

What if the "side" is the actual front?

 

[the3ye]

Discs loaded from top when vertical? This can't be real.

 

[Mass Effect]

Well, the current PSU mostly fits within the footprint of the PS4 motherboard, so you don't really reclaim much space by removing it from the case.

You might save a little on thickness, but you still need a large enough fan and heatsink to actually cool everything.

I see.

Thanks for this.

 

[aro52]

Fake or one of many internal concepts for the inevitable PS4 Slim. But now? Too soon.

I really don't think this is too soon.

If they plan to release it sometime in the fall, that's about 2 years since the original launch. that's good enough.

 

[Cels]

still looks lake a fake console

that's not the first PS3 revision though, that's the super slim which was the 2nd revision

This describes my inner conflict all too well.

 

[RadioJoNES64]

For a moment, let's entertain the possibility that this is real. It looks too flimsy and likely to break at the slightest mishap. Sometimes, small just can't be the new big.

 

[leroidys]

So the first pic doesn't have the PS logo that the other ones do. Uhh...

 

[Goodacre0081]

didn't many people think it was a fake due to how cheap it looked?

Oh. So that's what that is. I assumed it was another PlayTV. Fake then. To early and small for a new PS4.

"Has it leaked on GAF yet?"

 

[BasilZero]

What the....LOL

 

[Leona Lewis]

Isn't saying that something is subject to change without notice a way to cover your ass from angry customers?

I doubt it's something that has to be emphasized in an internal document for that small circle who would even be directly privy to a PS4 Slim in the first place.

 

[LizardKing]

I know nobody wants to be the gullible one if it turns out to be fake but it looks legit. PS4 tech is like 3 years old by now anyway.

 

[TheHighFlyingBirds]

Because confidential files are tagged with "confidential" word, as we all know from movies.

Actually that is exactly how it is done. Any file or document with a classification should be marked so it is handled correctly.

OT that is a good looking design, even if fake. To get it that small must mean external power brick. Would people be happy with an external brick to get a console that small and sleek?

I really wouldn't mind it.

Are there any pros to having an external brick outside besides reducing size?

Pretty par for the course for this kind of material actually.

I see that as the front actually.

Spoiler

for some reason, I couldn't stop thinking about The Last Guardian while watching

I guess the usb ports would only be in the back, which...okay I guess could happen.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Really?

It's attracted to other PS4s. Who are you to judge?

Fake as Heck.

 

[Amir0x]

If they make a new PS4 they should actually spend more time remaking the DualShock 4's battery life.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Come to think of it, the pics don't really add up. The pic of it on it's up on its side comparing it to the current PS4 doesn't have any sort of slant to it. Even from that angle it would be noticeable.
