Doesn't the Vita have it?
Kotaku Rumor: PS4 out in November, control with your phone/tablet, maybe $429/529

- Start date
Doesn't the Vita have it?
Oh I know, as was Yakuza and as will MonHun. It's bullshit.
Please then explain the multitude of games that used it? Japanese no less.
Plus Probably they will wait for ms' first move and decide details depending on their strategy

They wont announce one. A price has never been announced at the first reveal. It didnt happen with PS2, didn't happen with PS3, and didn't happen with Vita. Hell with Wii U we didn't get the price tell like a month and half before release! Hopefully we get the PS4 price at E3.

That's why they won't call it playstation shi, and call it playstation 4.

A Vita.
Gran Turismo 4 was dead on arrival because of the number 4, it sold only 11.6 million copies.
If they are to do two SKUs, I imagine it would be based on storage like most other hardware does nowadays. 500GB and 1TB, maybe.
Maybe something similar to the WiiU and 3DS cross play for titles like Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate?

4 can also be pronounced as 'yon' so they will call it the Playstatiyon in Japan.
Joke? Because when they say street fighter 2, they don't say sutorito faita ni.
Vita has 8 player cross game voice chat.

That's why they'll just name the PS4 the PS Vita too. Instant boost in sales.
Don't hurt me.

for $100 i hope it's not that boring, is the thing. half a TB (as an example) sounds nice, but assuming we can still swap out drives - and god i hope we can - that's way too high
real talk, a game gear/dreamcast bundle would've totally saved the DC.
are you buying the low tier package from alienware or what?

Online Play will be free but single player games will require PlayStation world account. That is the twist. I'm shocked that everyone in here is staying so level headed about this rumor.

Thinks mods influence posters politics. Promoted to QAnon Editor.
And who are you to say the added sales in consoles and games/media doesn't match that lost revenue?

A $700-$800 PC would be comparable in specs. Consoles are able to do well because of heavy optimization to one set of hardware.
Please stop. This is a stupid myth people keep bringing up.
I'd of thought so, I expect this to be a standard feature for games if developers choose to support it. The PS3 has a hardware video decoder so is much easier for them to do than it was on PS3/PSP.
Now that the Vita has Dual sticks too, it only causes an issue for the missing L2/R3 buttons

I would highly disagree. Just to SLi videocards will run you at least $500 and thats low end.
Ah good point, hadn't thought of that.
I definitely don't see the need to announce prices tomorrow. I'd be massively surprised if they did.
A years access to online multiplayer.

Free online is part of the reason why I love my PS3. I am subcribed to Playstation Plus however and if they are packaging ps plus and online together for a similar price, I won't mind as much (because I would actually be paying for something). That rumor is probably bullshit tho.

Title makes it sound like the controller is my phone

do you buy/put PCs together? because with the rumored PS4 specs, this doesn't even really seem like an argument
ah, you might be onto something here with PSW/+ incentives, along with space
That is what makes this highly suspicious.

I hope so because this is very specific information here. But if they are right? They get ammunity for 5(29$) more years

Source seems to be a developer, based on the devkit shots so... Developer GAF:
Is a new console's price and online pricing strategy normally something a console manufacturer would inform you of?
I can't see how it would impact the game development process, so it seems unlikely. The launch date, on the other hand, is something that developers absolutely need to know, so I'd think that part of the rumor is reliable.

The parts in the PS4/durango aren't going to shame a 7970 and an i5 3570 combo, even with 4GB vram in the former.
Exactly, which is why I think it will be an OS level feature. Unless they sneak out another Vita Hardware revision or let you sync your PS4 pad with your Vita like you could on PSP go.

Yes, that's what I was pointing out. That this dollar price matches up too closely to a USDJPY conversion.

I don't think 'online play' being behind a firewall will equate to lesser console sales.

$399 is $400 minus a dollar. Your wallet will know
Why wouldn't they? Vita will still be a supported system throughout much of PS4's lifecycle and it's online features are free. Heck, it has far better online features than the PS3, more closely rivaling XBL actually. Why would they charge for online play in PS4 when it will continue to be free on Vita?

You quoted the build a PC thread earlier. The third system has comparable if slightly better specs than the PS4. The video card is about the same but the PC has a better processor and more memory.
