"PS4" announced at Playstation Meeting 2013

[ShadowSoldier]

I LOL'd. I really did. So just because the Wii U is still underpowered, does that mean it's not next-gen? Well, we'll all see in the end what happens, won't we?

It'd be wise for you to ignore Hells Malice. If it isn't anime, nothing makes him happy.

 

[Forstride]

No start button.

LOL

I got bored of the presentation. The controller looks horrendous.

Also with all of that stuff they're putting into it, I can see it being a fairly expensive machine. My guess is $450.

I'm taking a little more of a high-sided approach and moving more towards a 699 to 799 price point. Especially with it either having a dual gpu or a really high end gpu.

with the price this thing is gonna end up being just use the $ to build yourself a REAL gaming pc instead

Maybe that'll be it...

CUSTOM MADE PS4'S: CHOOSE FROM HARDWARE CHOICES PROVIDED!

 

[chavosaur]

Stoked.
Out of my mind.
Cannot wait to experience this bad boy.

 

[PolloDiablo]

It will be expensive as shit...
As I expected... the games they shown today don't look 3214251 gazillion teraflops times better. So, right now, it's not worth the price... but it will be in the future.

This is the kind of console you get 2-3 years after release when the price drops and the games get better.

btw... the controller looks as shit as always

In other news,

Just after announcement, Sony sent out a press release (via Engadget) announcing a PlayStation App for iOS, which will serve as a second-screen experience app, much like Microsoft's Xbox SmartGlass.

It's for android too btw.

I am appalled at the lack of GIANT ENEMY CRABS in this evening's meeting.

Sony, where are my crabs?

Anyways, gonna wait out on this one, probably going to get a WiiU or a PS3 first, if I'm even going to pick this up in the future.

 

[BAHIM Z 360]

I'm pretty sure they will include only A/V cables with it too

Lol that aside,I like the d-pad on the controller although not a big fan of the rubberized grips (It might get sticky from dust)

Meh I can imagine that they're gonna sell it for 450~500$ when it gets launched

[chris888222]

I'm quite excited for the PS4 really. Nintendo consoles have really poor pricing and support in Singapore (Wii U basic is $450++). At least Sony has adequate repair and service centers here and their prices make more sense.

 

[Qtis]

Not sure if it's a Day 1 purchase for me (depends a lot on my financial situation at the time), but I do see myself buying this. I'm about to get a 360 just have the last few games I want to play playable (and get a few good PC controllers), so the next phase is pretty much next gen or perhaps a SNES too.

As for the console and games, please let it be region free! That way we could enjoy games that never make it to Europe fro the States and vice versa. Totally digging the PS3/PSVita region free.

Move integration looks interesting. I wonder how that'll work and if old Move accessories work (camera, controllers).

EDIT: Why the hate for the specs? The last few years we've heard of people complaining "The console specs and architecture are old as dinosaurs, 720p lol I HAEV 1080p". Now that the console generation is taking a huge leap from most console makers (waiting for that new 720), you people complain that it'll just be the same old. I guess you guys have a PC from the 90's then if specs don't matter to you since they don't bring anything new..

 

[Foxi4]

Confirmed to have BluRay 6X (8X for DVD)

That's one mystery less, innit? Also contains some basic AMD "Jaguar" chip specs.

Who called it!? Oh wait, everyone...

Surprised it didn't go the Bluetooth 4.0 way. That'd have saved a bunch in battery usage (though probably due to the standard not being 100% done yet).

EDIT:[environmental hippie] While the console has AV out, I hope they include a HDMI cable versus an AV cable. The AV cables are probably the same ones since the PS generation and there are a ton of those circulating already [/environmental hippie].

Deserves a separate mention: The PS4 will not block used games. (Via ArsTechnica)

how much do you reckon it will be here on launch remember the ps3 was $900

 

[beta4attack]

Looks great so far... Until the price, that is ;_; But with all those specs there's a big chance it won't be that cheap. In any case, none of the games they showed really interested me, so I guess I might wait for some more games to be announced Although, in my opinion, I think the PS3 -> PS4 leap isn't as big as PS2 -> PS3, only time will tell, plus the fact that it's still the beginning of its life.
What worries me as a Nintendo fan is that this might mean the end of the third-party support, once again... >.<

It's not actually that high end... they already stated that the GPU is 1.84TFLOPS (which, by my estimations, is around the power of a $180 PC GPU). The 8-core AMD CPUs are around $200, and since the CPU and GPU are going to be on the same chip, I'd assume that it would be cheaper to produce. A $400-500 price range seems about right, and I doubt Sony's going to make the same mistake they did with the PS3 launch ($599 USD).

But you gotta remember, Sony's gotta make up for it when it comes to advertising, production, shipping etc.
