The console will cost more than $400 at launch.
Peripherals:
Evolved Dualshock controller
Dual Camera
Move controller
What the hell, so will this come with a camera and a move controller as well. Also what do they mean by evolved Dualshock
Only thing surprising here is that it's only a 6x Blu ray drive and no BDXL support out of the box. All the rest is exactly what we've been hearing other places.
500Gb harddrive is nice. Hopefully it's more than 5400RPM.
They're having another go at redesigning the wheel. And when the Internet rages they'll just revert to the old design again. All I care about are better triggers. Those things sucked on DS3/SIXAXIS.
wasn't that 176G/s bandwidth basically made up here on GAF a few days ago after someone suggested the 192G/s is an old figure or something? this article sounds fishy imo
Why leaks don't talks about backwards compatibility?
That's what most people think yes.
yes it's a possibilityYou won't see BC because they will make far more money having all the PS3 games on PSN be released over the PS4's lifetime. This is abundantly clear with PS1 and 2 classics on PSN.
Everything about this system sounds great so far. I REALLY hope there is only 1 sku. Just... is 399$ a possibility with these specs?
Well the rumors are that 3GB is held back for the OS so yeah around 5 for everything else.
........how many times is this going to have to be explained.
jesus christ
Why does this thing have more CU's than a HD 7850, but less Texture Units than a HD 6570?!? Doesn't make sense. I think these specs are not "accurate".
Soo...
how many PS3s duct taped together??

it's me when I read neogaf 90% of the time.Damn, your avatar make all of your posts awesome...
What the hell is the OS doing that it needs 3 GB during gaming?
They probably don't know.
I sure hope they have some form of BC, otherwise the console is a lot less attractive at launch.
Is there hope that the GPU will be beefed up a bit ?
As it stands it's a good budget machine but from Sony I expected a "cutting-edge" console, but as I've said on page 1 it's still a nice improvement over the PS3.
How does what we know about the GPU compare to a GTX680 ?

That sounds like an absolutely foolish decision, if true.

You think Sony is going to release a system without a motion controller as standard when it's a given that MS will launch with one? THAT would be suicide.
Given the number of texture units, barely a few more.
So tech gaf is this good or bad? I'm not planning buying a 720, I love my 360 but MS is full of BS these days.

1 CU standard unit at 800mhz -without added scalar- = 102,4 GFlops.
18 CUs x 102,4 = 1,84 TFlops.
So
14 CUs x 102,4 = 1,44 Tflops for the GPU
4 CUs x 102,4 = 0,410 Tflops for either GPU/GPGPU tasks.
Hardware balanced at 14 CUs
you can't compare consoles to PCs. 1.84tflops on a console is capable of more than that in relative terms.Orbis 1.8 TFlops
680 3.1 TFlops
The really bad thing is there is going to be new lines of GPUs from both Nvidia and AMD this year.

Fixed499 or 449
Sure, SSJ Goku=WiiU
SSJ2 Goku=Orbis
Only hardcore players can notice the difference
And when you consider that the playstation 4 is designed to last another 7-10 years that amount of RAM looks extremely and i mean extremely pitiful.
In an ideal world they should be targetting upwards of 8gb.
Sony electronics should really take charge here instead of SCEE.
4GB GDDR5 not enough?....is better than the 8GB GDDR3 RAM on durango...
Latest is there is a little more than that, but not by much.
That's the million dollar question that no one can figure out yet lol. But quite a few rumors have listed the 3GB thing.

What makes you think it will be under $400 and profitable?
Yeah, I mean that.
Since they have now 2 teams I guess that whatever is shown for PS4 will be more advanced in development.
That sounds like an absolutely foolish decision, if true.
