The console will cost more than $400 at launch.

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.
Hopefully, but even if it's not it would be alright if they give me the option to put in any HDD I want. No proprietary bullshit pls, just like with the PS3.
You 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?
Which would be a shame because the boomerang controller would likely have been better than the DS3.

holy shit hahaha
Man that gif is depressing
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.
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
Wasn't made up. It was a logical estimation, and BruceLeeRoy confirmed it through his source.

Why leaks don't talks about backwards compatibility?
They probably don't know.
I sure hope they have some form of BC, otherwise the console is a lot less attractive at launch.
That sounds like an absolutely foolish decision, if true.

yes it's a possibility

What the hell is the OS doing that it needs 3 GB during gaming? Does your XBL avatar dance around on screen when you unlock an achievement?

AF will be as terrible as ever.
Given the number of texture units, barely a few more.
Why leaks don't talk about backwards compatibility?
With such a different architecture PS3 BC is not realistic.

it's me when I read neogaf 90% of the time.
Running ads, running your DVR, running its DRM, running other things that aren't games...
Likely doesn't have BC, especially given the SoC design. Also, regarding move, might be that patented split dual shock design. Ie DS4 can be split in to two move controllers. Who knows.
Orbis 1.8 TFlops
680 3.1 TFlops
7970 3.8 TFlops
And that's without Overclocking.
The really bad thing is there is going to be new GPUs from both Nvidia and AMD this year.
i still think that's a little much, considering windows running a bunch of apps can still stay under 3 GB

Err, ps1 and ps2 classics are emulated, not ported. That example actually proves you wrong.
Contrary to popular belief, selling ISO dumps of classic games is more profitable than porting those games individually and selling them.
They both have to hit $399. That's the ballgame, not what motion crap is standard.
That's the million dollar question that no one can figure out yet lol. But quite a few rumors have listed the 3GB thing.
MS will launch with one because I'm pretty sure they are going to push Kinect as the new "remote" (it suits the mediabox rumours). It's not the same for Move.
How does 18 texture units compare to modern graphics cards?
based on these rumours? it's good for digital foundry. looks like it's all coming down to 4 GDDR5 vs. 8GB DDR3 + SRAM on the HW front.

Its okay Pyro just breathe. Let people keep shitting out of their mouthes. That unified pool is awesome and more then enough. I wonder what the split will normally be for games since no one has really used ram this fast for gaming applications.

you can't compare consoles to PCs. 1.84tflops on a console is capable of more than that in relative terms.
3GB is a rumor but some people say it may be cut down to 1GB.

Sure, SSJ Goku=WiiU
SSJ2 Goku=Orbis
Only hardcore players can notice the difference
Is this fully powered Super Saiyan or just Frieza saga Super Saiyan?

I'm on the hype wagon.
Anyone know whether that Move FPS tech will be used at all?

Don't bother, people refuse to look at the facts and continually think that
8GB DR3 is > than 4 GB of GDDR5
It's just too difficult to differentiate the numbers from actually specs... 8>4 yes! : /
And its slower ram as well is it not?, both are going to be meaty machines but all the rumoured specs im liking the look of the ps4 a bit more atm.
quite a few? afaik only the DF article (and ERP saying it was less but not much). Before the DF article everyone was saying 1-2
All you see is numbers and think that more is better.
8GB RAM seems better than 4GB, right?
Except the 4GB of PS4 RAM is GDDR5 whilst the new Xbox RAM is DDR3.
Very big speed difference (i.e. PS4 has faster RAM).
Also:
IMO: APU $100, ram $50 [way less if its WideIO on interposer], bluray $30, hdd ~$40, rest $150-180 [mobo, psu, southbridge stuff, cooling, manufacturing] . It will be profitable at $400, or sold at minimal loss.

Wow, that video might have just sold me on 60 fps (The Hobbit's 48 fps helped too).

I'm pretty certain the PD teams have something suitably large prepared for the PS4 unveiling ... they're bound to have modelled many more 'premiums' in the couple of years since GT5 and we already know they've scanned/modelled Silverstone, Willow Springs and Bathurst.

It would be smart. Bundling kinect with every unit makes no sense since they can't make money on it. And MS's core audience doesn't give a shit about motion controls. They can just bundle kinect with whatever kinect software they have and sell it separately.
