TOKYO, Aug. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today announced that the PlayStation®4 (PS4™) (CUH-1000A series) computer entertainment system will launch on November 15, 2013 in the Canada and U.S., and from November 29, 2013 in Europe including Australia, Austria...

Interesting numbers but do you really think ps4 and Xbox 720 are really going to do all that much better than their predecessors? I think the Wii U is the canary in the mineshaft here. Sony and Microsoft realising having hardware symmetry to make cross platform development as easy as possible to...

You do realise there was a 4th generation iPad release recently with a doubling of shading performance released 7 months after the 3rd gen iPad don't you? Forget the yearly refresh schedule, the competition is on for young an old right now.

People care about eye-candy sure, but they also care about other things like entertainment on tap, where they want it, when they want it, sharing it with the people they want. And entertainment these days doesn't mean just games, it means all sorts of things, with applications that enable you...

They are just generally vocal, or it should be said, just plain defensive and foundry issues just expose this on a regular basis. If their chips are called out as slower by competitors (whether it's true or not) or if they make statements like... "Kepler in super phones" (and presumably...

Performance isn't going to be an issue as attention is drawn away from traditional consoles. For example, yearly refreshes, like this year, with quad-core tablets will make a Vita live by its Sony genes alone. This looks a little bleak to me in a expanding sea cheap and just as entertaining...

More reason to agree to release a new generation every two years.

You might not see but others do for reasons other than price alone speaking of which of course nvidia will discount their top single GPU in this new paradigm to occupy a certain niche. Youre still getting a directly proportional bang for your buck at this stratosphere and 580's still have...

First review is out http://nl.hardware.info/reviews/2472/amd-radeon-hd-7970-review

Enjoying it so far but I have some bugbears (warning ranting below!) Skyrim has somewhat improved character interactions but it's still really clunky with combat. Severance Blade of Darkness has a wonderful almost kinesthetic combat system that feels visceral and provides lovely realistic...

Well it appears to be a 4800 series GPU, DX10.1 even. So it will support HD beautifully and the distinction between the Wii U and the Next-box and PS-whatever will be mightily blurred next generation. Hardware grunt is becoming less and less relevant, its the whole eco-system that can deliver...

I think we get the point. What I don't understand is why you're responding with dubious analogy laden rhetoric over an apparently "useless" headline and article. Why don't you just close the thread because you personally find it of little value. It's not exactly a PS3 wiki leak.

This is a sensible post. The numbers might be big, but the brand refresh will be a more compelling selling point than whatever hardware lives inside. The content lives within the same paradigm, it's just a prettier, bigger, smoother feeling ride (and not anywhere near 10X the ride, imo).

Hang about, your advertising asks us to be "wowed" by these features with every generational launch and historically it has been used to differentiate and sell competing products. People are probably confusing tessellation hardware implementation / performance with the frustration of the lack...

The next shrink and the new consoles can't come soon enough as the taste of these large hot red and green chips appear to be under utilised time fillers.
