Sony may be at it again if these artist impressions are to be believed, maybe as soon as this autumn. If the real thing looks anything like this i personally think they are trying to make the PS£ look like the wii to cash in again, check out the pics for yourselves.

I think the only thing who need to be smaller with this console is the PRICE!!

Ba dum dum, ching!
I'll be here all night, tip your waitresses!

But seriously if they put out a PS3 that looked that much like a Wii I would say Sony has some serious originality issues. Honestly the current design is a little weird for my tastes, but my only real complaint is that it has a giant curved surface which prevents stacking. I mean if any system needs to avoid having other things stacked on it it's the 360... not the PS3.

Why would you want that? You leave your PS3 on horizontal? Dude! That's so last-gen! We use our consoles on vertical now!

And I still think those are fake.. Sony would have to be really stupid to make something that look so much like the Wii

Sony usually release a slim version when the sales of the console are falling. The PS3 hasn't even taken off yet. I can see it being a few years before a slim one is released.

And again , sony steals ideas from his opponents.
I hope they all suffer from overheating. KEKEKEKEK!


NOTFanboyism:
The new design looks weird.
Far too small , I don't think it will be that small.
There is no room for anything.


€dit:

Olol , didn't read enough , sorry!
So this is a mockup.
Noone would ever made such a piece of crap , I should have known it.

oh and btw
Even the PS2 gets a facelift!

The site said:
The new PS3 is a proper looker: if it's anything like the illustration our team of designers have come up with, then we're looking at one hell of a sexy piece of kit.

Fake.

Its just not possible to shrink the tech in the PS3 into such a small form factor at this point in time, even if you delegated the power brick to external again. Or at least not at a price that is anywhere near reasonable.

    Yea prob, n I own a Switch also, not just pirate the "good" games n play on a emulator. So I played lots of good games on actual Switch over the years, been a good console, esp for such dated hardware.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Switch 2 will be your most powerful handheld (most likely) but Nintendo has always been a generation behind Sony/ Xbox, so doubt it will get the newest of games, n if it does, will be a watered down version, like Switch 1 got
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Most powerful hardly series x specs will still crap on it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most powerful handheld I said. I imagine it won't last long tho, ROG or Steamdeck 2 will prob overpower it. I will prob buy a switch2 tho, gotta have that Mariokart 9.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I kinda doubt that also Asus will keep releasing or if Xbox doesn't come out with some handheld by then
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm thinking of selling my current drum machine, piano keyboard, and few synthesizers, and buy a new $699 drum machine/ workstation. Downsize but upgrade. But like any device, ill never get the money I paid into it. Hard to let stuff go for half what you paid.
