The Future of PS4
PS3 is still dominating the gaming console market along with its cousins Wii and Xbox. Speculations are on as to when Sony is finally going to release its latest version of the popular PlayStation gaming console. It is well known that work on the PS4 is on and the project is in its developmental stage. It will probably in 2012 or 2013 when PS4 is finally going to hit the market.

Sony PS4 will be based on the PS3 technology and modifications and improvements will be added on. However, from reports received, it is quite evident that Sony is trying to put everything into PS4 and is going to add some great features that will have gamers of the world drooling in anticipation. The PS4 will be upgraded to support HDMI2 compliant QF-HDTV and AV receivers that can handle next generation audio and video formats. All the PlayStation gaming consoles are for home use and Sony’s PSP2 is for mobile computing. We are already hearing about PS5 and the revolution it is going to bring along with it. The PS5 will be a PS4 that is shrunk into the size of PSP2. A mobile PS5 will become the next general personal gaming device. It will be able to get plugged into a big screen using its HDMI2 chip. It will have a touch screen, digital camera, mini speakers and multi-array microphones and will be able to work as a mobile phone which will have the capability to receive FM/AM radio and television channels. The PS5 will also give the users the facility of a GPS system and connections like Wi-Fi, IrDA and Bluetooth. Added to all this would be the capability to have its own static IP that can host servers for web pages. In short, PS5 will be perfectly compatible for the next generation Internet services.

All this while we have been talking about the technological developments that can be expected to come along with PS4 and PS5. Let us now look at some of the changes in hardware that can be expected –
· PS3 uses Blu-ray discs. PS4 uses holographic discs and PS5 will use digitally protected solid state sticks that will have the capability to store at least 1 TB.

· PS3 has a 7.1 channel audio transmission. PS4 has 9.1 channel advanced audio transmission with speakers above the user’s head and below him or her and PS5 will have multiple mobile speakers that will move around the user to simulate the audio experience.

· PS3 has a mandatory hard drive. PS4 will be able to store more amounts of data through its hard drive, flash drive and external devices that are supported. PS5 will use the same writable digitally protected solid state sticks that can be stored outside the PS5 and can be accessed via a high speed network.
Apart from these developments in hardware, PS4 and PS5 will have other incorporated hardware features that will improve display. With PS4 and PS5, the gaming experience will be more real than the existing PS3.
