Playstation 4 still years away

The E3 conference is currently taking place and it has become very clear that the Playstation 4 will not be released, possibly not for several years... Simply put the Playstation 3 console just has a lot more life left in it.

Earlier this week there was a release of a couple of videos that posed to be for the Playstation 4 (PS4 viral videos). These videos of course sent ripples through the gaming community and left everyone completely confused and at a loss... why would Playstation bring out the PS4 when they had just announced the Playstation Move. Everyone had assumed the introduction of 3d games and motion gaming capabilities was more than enough... but the videos were leaked and raised a lot of questions.

As it turns our the videos were created by a college student working on a degree in advertising... The student in hopes of generating a little bit of buzz, and possibly jump start his career released the videos, and sent shock waves through the gaming world.

The big news this year is not the Playstation 4, we likely have several years before a new Playstation console is introduced, but the Playstation Move, and the upcoming pre buy opportunities.

There is a lot coming from Playstation this winter season, 3d games are likely to be a big hit as well as thee introduction of motion gaming with the Playstation Move... Its going to be a great year for Playstation fans!

Sony Playstation 4 Console Name

Several people have been asking if it is certain that the next generation of Playstation consoles will be called the Playstation 4.

We at SonyPS4.com have come across so much information over the course of the last year that points to this it is a certainty... The next Playstation console will indeed be the Sony Playstation 4, and we will go through a list of quotes and references that we hope will shine some light on the subject. There is little information available on the Playstation's next gaming console , and that is to be expected at this point in development, but as you will see many of the most prominent names and employees of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. have referred to the next Playstation gaming console as the Playstation 4.

• Playstation inventor Ken Kutaragi, as chairman and group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.  is already thinking ahead to Playstation 4 and beyond. In an exclusive interview with EE Times, Kutaragi said: "As a matter of course, I have the vision of Playstation 4, 5 and 6, which will merge into the network." Read More.
• PS3.IGN.com talks about the possibility of the Playstation 4 being released at a 3d gaming consolee, possibly the first of it's kind. While it is a grey area in terms of what the Playstation 4 will be capable of, the console is again referred to by a leading game resource as the Playstation 4... Really IGN speaks of the Playstation 4 frequently, read more about the PS4 possibly being a 3d gaming console here.
• In an interview with Jack Tretton, the CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment of America, again the next Playstation console is mentioned by name, as the Playstation 4. "A question I often get is when we are going to see Playstation 4. When somebody can craft the technology that exceeds what we're able to do on the PS3, but we are still just starting to harness it." While not ready to put a date on it, it would seem Jack Tretton is certain of the next Playstation consoles name. Read more from the FastCompany interview.
• Geek.com also mentions the Playstation 4 by name in referring to Cell alternatives to the Playstation 4 gaming console. While again its mostly rumors and speculation on what the Playstation 4 gaming console will offer, its again another authority in the gaming and tech industry referring to the next Playstation gaming console as the Playstation 4. Check it out.
• Mr. Yoshida in an interview with VideogamesZone.de, translated by Xbitlabs.com here. From the Xbitlabs.com article "Even though Mr. Yoshida did not confirm that PlayStation 4 will use Blu-ray disc or a next-generation optical format, it is highly-possible that the console due in several years will use optical discs to store huge next-generation video games." Many times during the interview Shuhei Yoshida, senior vice president of product development at Sony Computer Entertainment America, mentions the next Playstation gaming console as the Playstation 4.

There are literally thousands of references of the next Playstation console being referred to as the Playstation 4, I have tried to include only those that are the most credible, and those that can be easily referenced yourself if you choose to do so... A real big part of Sony keeping with the Playstation numbered series has to do with them maintaining the brand that they have built up since the launch of the first Playstation on December 3, 1994.

In reality we find it unlikely that Sony will ever choose to go away from the numerical naming system for the Playstation console generations. These names are just far too recognizable, and instantly associated with the gaming consoles that you are familiar with. Sony Playstation has even hinted at this with a commercial that was aired during the launch of the Playstation 2 that featured the Playstation 9.

This commercial, while possibly some what satire, really is further proof that Sony intends to stay with the Playstation numerical branding for as long as they are producing gaming systems. Dated 2078 and offering some of the most wild and futuristic technology imaginable, this advertisement goes to the merit and power of the current Playstation branding tactics.

All of this, and thousands more references throughout the internet, point to the next Playstation gaming console as being named the Playstation 4. With Sony unlikely to announce any official information regarding the Playstation 4, until just before launch, the mentioning of the console by name from Sony executives is the biggest indication so far.

The release of the Move could bring the release of the PS4 closer

Sony unveiled its Move system Wednesday March 10, 2010 at the Game Developers conference.  The system will be available as a kit that includes the Move controller, a PlayStation Eye camera, and a Move game for the PlayStation 3.

The Move will allow gamers to play the new games as if they were part of the action. It will be similar to the Wii but more advanced. The Eye camera detects the exact location and movements of the controllers. The Eye also has voice and image recognition which will allow for alternate reality games.

The Move made make it a good idea of Sony to release the PlayStation 4 sooner. The PS3 won’t allow four player to use the Move remote and subcontroller which is required for some games. The PS4 might have more Bluetooth ports which will allow for more players using the Move remotes and subcontroller.

Is Sony Playstation 4 going to be Number 1

Is Play Station 4 going to beat XBOX 360?

Rumors are widely spreading that Microsoft is getting ready with the successor of Xbox 360, the Xbox 720. There has been a lot of competition in the consoles market, and Microsoft has decided to fight out with all new launch of their latest console! Sony is working on the PlayStation 4 in response to Microsoft’s launch. Fans of the gaming consoles are eagerly awaiting the launch!

“All singing all dancing!” approach of Sony may often cause a problem to it. One may wonder if they follow their classic ‘Trojan horse’ approach .They are known to bundle their software they wanted to push.Ps2 is a good example for this approach which came out with a DVD and PS3 which came with a blue ray was influential for the fall down of HD-DVD. One could regard this way of Sony to be a mixed success. Many don’t take full advantage of the ps3 and keep it for the sake of games alone. One needs to reap in all functionalities to appreciate this approach of Sony. There are many competitors like DVR’s, Apple TV’s and media centric pc in the market trying to take care of ones digital hub needs. Sony has to squeeze in among its competitors for providing digital solutions.

Wii proves to be a master of all trades and attributes all its success in focusing on a single functionality rather than providing many. The music and movie content of Sony Library and its unique concept of digital hub will again encourage it to follow a similar approach.

A blue-ray is considered as a gap filler between the DVD and the internet downloads. This format has been introduced very recently and before its introduction good HD quality movies were available for download from Apple and Microsoft.Ps3 has helped Blue ray to win the device war ,but lots of complications made it to lose the battle among the consoles and it s cost made Sony the loser. It is better that Sony understands that the future of content distribution is downloads rather than discs!

It has tried a step similar to Apple in removing the floppy disc drive and optical drive in their Mac operating system. DVR fills the gap between the broadcast and on demand service. There has been tremendous growth in the internet area that even sports and new can be watched lively! One may regard iTunes store to have so much future. A full streaming DVR is in near future!

Sony may focus more on providing solutions via internet rather than using DVR’s for its promotional purposes. Taking all these points one may pop up into a conclusion that the Sony’s PS4 may exclude the features of PS4 in it! T here are many more expectations from Sony which includes a faster and wireless device with a 80.211n at least! Best processors like cell processors are expected with a Ati or Nvidia graphic card .Its existing controller is regarded as perfect by the gamers and a similar controller is expected in this PS4!Hope it satisfies all the expectation of the gamers!
