THE NEXT PLAYSTATION, AT A GLANCE
- Is called, or at least carries the working codename, "Orbis".
- Is scheduled for a Holiday 2013 release.
- Won't be backwards compatible with PS3 games.
- Will lock new games to a PSN account as an anti-used games measure.
- New games can be bought either on Blu-Ray or downloaded.
- Current specs are an AMD x64 CPU and AMD Southern Islands GPU
Personal View...
if it's true...means we are going to have a PS4 with $400 (launch price)
and yes the link provided by KOTAKU...is working
SCE DevNet
i think the rumour is true...and beside Kepler would have been a better choice in terms of performance, thermal & power efficiency
what sucks...
* no backward compatibility to PS3 games
* games tied to user accounts (means used games can't be played...2nd hand users will be playing some kind of trials WTF ?)
* They are becoming greedy bastards both MS and Sony (introduced online passes in current gen...now trying to prevent the used games in their next consoles...complete BS)
