The PlayStation 4 dev kits are currently on their way to developers according to a report by VG247. Based on what was reported, the PS4 ‘seems’ be a very powerful console, well under high-end PC’s, that will be more affordable than the PS3 was at launch. Users who are a lot more tech savvy than I am also noted that with the specs that were released in the report, the PS4 will not have the same leap in graphics we saw from the PS2 to the PS3. More interestingly it ‘seems’ the PS4 will not be vastly superior graphically, to the Wii U. Sony is known for pushing high-end graphics, but it looks like Sony is more worried about optimization, ease of development, and gameplay fluidity this time around. We also know Sony’s game division has posting multi-million dollar losses lately. So This has me wondering if the Wii U’s $299-$350 price point, forced Sony to hold back a bit on the PS4′s graphics to stay competitive?
Huzaifa from eXputer: "The Nintendo Partner Spotlight sale event has discounted a number of worthy titles on the Switch. Here are 6 of them you should check out."
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
If you were a 90s kid excited about Nintendo’s upcoming N64 console, you likely read something somewhere about the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive, also known as the 64DD or DD64.
Nintendo is probably the only console maker who could get away with releasing an under powered console

People have been saying this for years
The A10 with no word of other dedicated GPU's or Xfire should we worrying to those who wanted a monster powerhouse, but the PS4 will get the job done, no doubt.
They are creating a powerful machine that will be at a good price, but nothing incredibly revolutionary like the ps2 to ps3.
Sony pretty much shot down any hope of the ps4 being a ps2 to ps3 leap, but that is perfectly fine with me. Just get Naughty Dog to keep up the good work and find out whoever kidnapped the real insomniac team and get them back!
The Last Guardian being pushed to 2014 makes me excited at a launch title.
We won't know how much power it can push or what kind of graphics it can give us until the whole thing is set before us. After all the whole development kit thing could a rumor.Don't start the assumptions until we have all the pieces in our hands and have put them together.It has been several years since the PS3. I am certain they can build a powerful machine at a good price and still remain competitive.Let wait to see what is under the hood and how it works before we start making wild assumptions.
This has always been their plan and the bottom line is profitablity. It's a very smart move.
They never won on graphics before, why start now? It's always about the games, and creating a healthy developer ennviroment that brings the games. That's what they did with PS1, and that's how they started their revolution and stole much of the gaming market. It's what Apple is doing right now.
Games are what matter
