The Next PlayStation...PLAYSTATION 4 codenamed "Orbis"

[Shehryar89]

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

Source KOTAKU: The Next PlayStation is Called Orbis, Sources Say. Here are the Details.

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)​
