Rumor Roundup: PlayStation 4

This Wednesday is an important day for gaming.

I didn't think about the connection "Orbis" and "Vita" could have. "Circle of Life". I thought the Orbis name was a little stupid at first but it's an awesome idea if the two systems are gonna be integrated.

[sinncross]

thing is that no one is going to care about the connection.

Vita is a cool name, but just leave the PS4 as PS4.

"PlayStation 4" sounds weird on my tongue. And then there's this thing going around that 4 has something to do with death in Japan.

Maybe they can just call it The PlayStation?

[sinncross]

Dont worry about that death rumour thing for Japan.

In Japan, the PS4 would be pronounced as playstation 4 but obviously with the vocal sounds of the Japanese language. The 4 will not be translated into Japanese which is where that rumour about death came from.

It will be good when all of these rumors are finally cleared up on Wednesday.

I hope the ban on used games isn't true, though. Everything else is fine by me.

[ziggurcat]

it won't happen, so don't worry.

rumours are just rumours, and patents don't matter since a great majority of them don't even see the light of day - that, and sony filed an identical patent prior to the launch of the PS3, and yet we can all still play used games on the current system.

[nveenio]

I agree. Banning them is the wrong way to go, if nothing else than for the bad publicity. The proper way to phase out used games is to pull a Steam/Netflix. People are perfectly happy with those services, and they don't allow used.

[FarCryLover182]

My hunch is that this thing is going to be called the "Playstation 4."

This new marketing firm Sony hired is good. Hype levels are at 110%, cannot freaking wait.
