In my head, that PS logo is digital monochrome OLED display that automatically rotates the logo when you stand or lay the console flat.

That console design is OK for nostalgia, (which would be an interesting but unlikely approach from Sony) but this packaging:
...doesn't make sense at all. That package would never work, unless Sony wants to undercut their profits shipping lots of boxed air from China. Expect the box to be as small as possible to carry the unit safely. Apple saved a ton of money switching to slim packaging. Everybody else noticed too. Retailers also like it smaller these days.
Plus, I don't think it'll ever be called "PSFour," even when the slim releases years from now. And that typeface...ugh.

And the PS3 loosely as well. Only both of those have more unique character and panaz than this concept.

There is something special about that original PS2 design that just brings back a lot of memories. Junior year of college and it was the first console I bought at launch.
And the PS3 loosely as well. Only both of those have more unique character and panaz than this concept.
Black and blue seems pretty familiar..
We got a glimpse of that in the ps meeting trailer.

I like the design except for the kerning (letter spacing and size)

Eight third party exclusives for the next xbox? Damn.
there will certainly be some cache but people need to realize that flash is not SSD and that SSD is not coming.
as to hardware deflate decompressor, main point of that would be to speed access to files while they are all compressed together... so speeding data usage directly from HDD and BD, once you offload them to cache you lose any benefit of your deflate hardware. It allows for no installs and faster load times and if you try to use cache instead of HDD and BD, you lose those benefits.
i think main point of cache will be something like what happens on Vita, for multitasking and OS usage.
Where is this from? But I am not surprised considering its MS that depends mostly on 3rd party devs for exclusives and timed-exclusives...heck why not use that money when you have tons of it

I don't know if this is true, but unless one of those titles is Madden, Call of Duty, FIFA, or GTA then it is really irrelevant.
The WIIU yes.

Posted by someone on one of the other on-going next-gen threads. Sorry, can't remember which one right now and I don't have the time to check.
The guy who said, mentioned is not one of the bigs. Im betting its things like Dance Central, the Crytek game, something new from Capcom/Activision? MS really need some new IPs so that would make sense.
Hmm I wonder what other 4 , 3rd party exclusives are?
I keed
I am a big fan of Sony franchise, so ill be day 1 regardless , unless GT / uncharted and god of war goes 3rd party
ok cool...
I hate 3rd party exclusives/timed exclusives :| ... exclusives should be limited to 1st and 2nd party ... MS is the worst offender of this abuse

SSD and Flash are essentially the same. SSD just comes with a controller.
Anyway, I think we'll see 16GB flash. At least half for OS (would be more than enough) and half for data caching. I also think we'll see simultaneous accesses of both HDD and flash at the same time.

Maybe they want their posts to become news articles on the IGN front page.
EDIT:
Okay, I also work in the dev side of the industry but mainly in mobile/downloadable games. I do get emails from people from MS sometimes but they're from people in the WP8 department. I'm a little tempted to ask them re: durango but they obviously won't answer and/or they probably don't even know anyway lol.
This is true.
Its easy to say something, and after it turns out to be false, claim that the "source" was confused/wrong.
she is also a great mod, I have never seen her be an ass to anyone. The other mod, Nikolak is also super nice and is so active in getting info, organizing and always involved in discussion without ever being an ass.
He's reciting the speculation that was presented by several other forum members nearly word for word when the teaser trailer was presented. That's not exactly insider information.
I don't trust him.
This is true, but they still take a massive penalty once encrypted. Unless Sony plans to leave the volume open
Pretty good.
But that PS "Four" . lol worthy.

Do you think that we will see the entire specs in the PS Meeting?
I do not believe so. I think we will be shown the unit and the controller (despite what others suggest) along with several games in a "collage" of sorts, just videos. Basic specs, perhaps, but nothing detailed. I expect full disclosure at E3 with hands-on.
As for the media/investors - they will obviously see more and get hit with a good old fashioned NDA.

It would be pretty stupid for Sony to announce PS4 but not show the actual unit right? Was the PS3 unveiled when it was announced?
I would LOVE to see a comeback of the PS2 design. The image I linked earlier was a mockup of the alleged design of the console in the teaser trailer:

Not the best drawing but I hope they bring on a PS2 era redesign.

It was turning the little logo around
Hot if true. I don't like organic shapes on tech stuff. I like linear, ridged, modern and clean.

Soooo... with these specs can Agni's Philosophy run on this equipment at 60 frames and 720p resolution, or what?
People have argued you'll get visuals like that with some trade-offs. You'll probably take a hit in resolution, frames, and anti-aliasing. We'll know soon enough.

Wasn't the tech demo running at 60fps, 1080p and 8xMSAA? I'd probably say yes, but is 60fps a must for this game?.
Forceatowulf
G***n S**n*bi
If Agni can run on PS4 at 720p and 60 fps, I'm good with that. If it can run at 30 fps and 1080p resolution, I'm also good with that. But if it can only do 30 fps and 720p... I'm gonna be very fucking disappointed. =/
For cutscenes? Almost definitely.
The very last thing Sony should be doing is creating a complicated and needlessly abstract console design.
Simplicity should be one of the core design principles behind the PS4; Sony achieved it with the PSone and slimline PS2, so they can certainly do it again.

I wouldn't mind 60fps for gameplay, and 30fps for cutscenes.
