Sony PS4 Rumor True or False

Friday, May 04, 2007

A report from an Australian based technology site suggests that the Playstation 4 could arrive in less than 18 months. This of course is only a rumor as the so called source from an insider at Sony remains anonymous.

The Smarthouse report states that the new Sony Playstation 4 will use the same chipset found in the PS3 but changes will occur in the attachment area and drive bay of the new gaming console.

It is also rumored that the PS4 will come bundled with a software suite which enables gamers to better manage streaming data to their TV sets and will include improved output features as well.

According to Smarthouse, the source mentions:

We have even looked at a Sony home server based on PlayStation technology. This would allow consumers to connect home automation devices to the Sony server while also delivering online gaming and access to an extensive movie and music library.

It seems rather odd that Sony would release a new Playstation so soon, but it would be realistic to say that creating an improved PS3 is a possibility after the company received so much negative criticism with their latest next-generation gaming console. Many gamers were disappointed with the price of the Sony PS3 and were also disgruntled by the fact that there are few game titles available compared to the Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360.

It will be interesting to see where this goes, if anywhere at all, but you can be sure we will keep you updated on this topic.
