''Nintendo is getting the jump on Sony and Microsoft this year with the release of the WiiU. And while neither Sony nor Microsoft is ready to share official details and specs regarding their next home console, Sony Worldwide Studios head honcho Shuhei Yoshida makes it clear that the PS4 won’t be outdone in terms of power when compared to the WiiU.''

I don't know if you notice, but one of the main reasons why the PS3 was expensive, is mainly because of the Blu ray. A stand alone Blu ray device was at $800+ in 2006.
And the PS3 was $600 including all the other features.
The PS4 will have Blu ray, and now a stand alone Blu ray device cost $200 or less.
How long was PS2 out before Xbox and Gamecube? Exactly. Did Xbox or Gamecube get the longevity support lasting almost a decade? Troll fail
Sorry, just get mad at people using that term so wrong. P***es me the f*** off.
this the first time sony really stepped up on tech
Intelligent/Well Said
PSX is an actual product released in Japan. It was a PS2 & DVR combo player.
PS1 (the original PlayStatin) is not a PSX.
PlayStation X [or PS-X or PlayStation Experimental] was the code name for the original PlayStation prototype, but it dropped the X before it was released.
PS = PlayStation (the brand as a whole)
PS1 = PlayStation (the first PlayStation console)
PS2 = PlayStation 2
PSX = PlayStation 2 & DVR combo released in Japan
PS3, PSP.. pretty self explanatory.
Now the only problem is the Vita. It's PS Vita officially, but that's a bit long for an acronym or abbreviation, so.. PSV or Vita?
People forget that the launch price for the base PS3 model was $499.
You weren't forced to buy the $599 model, like people seem to make it sound.

And yeah, it's true that PS systems weren't always the highest spec consoles aside from the PS3.
BUT what PS consoles have always delivered is GAMES.
Ps1 and Ps2 were not the strongest but the three latest Playstation Consoles have all been the most powerful. PSP, Ps3 and the very recent VITA.
So I reckon that PS4 will follow that trend.
I bet sony's Playstation division and Kaz loves gamers. Loves to satisfy us because they know we love them and that true gamers never die so we are a reliable market if they can please us.
And nothing is more pleasing to a gamer than a quality console packed with features, and getting a satisfying amount of supersauce exclusives. I think Playstation will be THE GAMER console and perhaps also the entertainment system.
And I dont care what the Ps4 will cost, If sony makes the best I will pay a suitable price.
High spec is worth it to me especially in a console or Gaming rig because I can rest assured that I wont need to uppgrade anytime soon and the games will look great until the next gen arrives, or in the Pc world I might skip one gen or two. 1 gen is a year or so on pc's.
High spec systems always deliver more features and better entertainment capabilities such as the PS3, Xbox and the Vita.
I hope Ps4 will be pretty much just like what Ps3 was back in 06.
But instead of expensive new Gameformats and Super experimental CPU, I rather see those efforts in to more graphics, RAM and an SSD this time since a Power8 CPU and Blu-ray will do just fine for the timeframe I imagine that the Ps4 should launch in.
PSX was the PS1 in Europe. And was released after the PS2. After that they came with PS2 Slim models.

Unless you can show otherwise, that's a PAL PlayStation slim.. "PSone".

Ignorance is bliss...
Its not like Sony make Laptops, TV's and MP3 players...oh wait...
then that would mean it would be less powerful than the PS3 too. That would make no sense.
"You do know the PS2 was the weakest console last gen and the PS1 was weaker than the N64?"
lol, some people have to learn history : ps2 and ps1 was the most powerfull at launch, competition a long time came after (you can only compare ps1 with saturn, and ps2 with dreamcast...nintendo is always late to the party, and never deliver a beast)
edit : the ps3 is making huge profits, they are selling more than microsoft since launch, without XXXXmillions$ marketing, and now they are selling even more games than competition (and don't forget bluray royalty, and sales, withtout ps3, no victory)
The PS3 is making a tiny, really tiny profit by now. That is a good thing. The PS3 cost Sony about 5 billions since 2005 (R&D). Overall, the PS3 will never be profitable.
Even the old CEO said this in an interview.
"You have spent three billion dollars on the Playstation 3, disregarding research and development. Can you ever get your money back?
Stringer: Not for as long as I live (laughs)."
That was 2008! and the PS3 became profitable 2010, the pricecut killed these profits and it is breaking even since 2011.

Yes, the PS3 has lost a lot of $, but because Sony is way more than just a games company, to attribute it only to the PS3 and or the games division isn't quite accurate.
When Sony launched the PS3, they KNEW they were going to lose BILLIONS on it......In a manner of speaking, you could just say that in this case, Sony CHOSE to lose money on the PS3 ON PURPOSE......FOR A PURPOSE.
School grade math would tell anyone that losing $300 on 10,000,000 units = 3 billion dollars. And that's just in the first year.
That's just how bad Sony wanted BluRay to be the victor.
Now, if you want to know if it was all worth it or not, then you'd have to ask Sony. But I have the feeling that the jury is still out on it and there won't be a definitive answer for years to come.
I hope they go powerful, but not too powerful. Or they will end up in last place again
Seems like Nintendo isn't ready to share either... Where are the damn specs so we can end all the speculation???
Cant you read? Also Sony said last time they have never been first or cheap. So there you go. :)
The WiiU is about on par with the 360 and PS3 in terms of power.
Why would Sony make a PS4 thats about the same power as current gen?
You make no sense Moncole. Nintendo just took older hardware to pay less, nothing cutting edge. They made the WiiU about similair to the 360 architecture for easy porting.
Sony, as a hardware company, will always focus for cutting edge hardware. Like they also beat Nintendo in the handheld market in hardware specs. Go see that weak 3DS hardware compared to what the PSVita brings.
Xbox 8 and PSOrbis will give the WiiU a beating, it'll get raped from left and right like the Wii got it this gen in graphics, physics and good games.
Can I see your WiiU spec sheet?
Cool story bro. 3DS has more games than PS Vita and 3DS is also selling much more but yes, Vita has more specs, must be great for Vita (and for your ego).
As a vita owner, I do think it has an amazing hardware, but I bought it to play some new games and not play ports I can already play on my PS3.
I am enjoying my 3DS much more because it has more to offer (still trying to finish Resident Evil Revelations on hard). At the end of the day it's all about fun and software.
But higher specs NEVER win in sales and the "console generation". Never have.
Sony still misses this point with handhelds.
It has never come down to hardware. Just games.
PSP,Sega Game Gear, Lynx, Turbo Graphic 16 handheld...
All of those were more powerful than Nintendo offerings at the time and yet they all did not outsell the Gameboys or DS systems.
Price is the biggest factor for handheld game systems. Most of these handheld are bought by parents for their kids and most of the time they will not buy a unit that is $250+ when the console system costs less or the same.
It's a double edge sword.
This was about companies that push high spec hardware. Not about how many sales or games it gets or 3DS has them. Are you retarded fan boys or something?
What Sony proved once more with PSVitas hardware is that its prepared to go waaaaaaay beyond Nintendo in specs. I made this connection to the WiiU and upcoming PS4. Get it, got it? Jeebus.
Sad too saying 3DS has more games, its freaking a year earlier on the market. At launch it had virtually no games and cost 250 too. While Vita has a wide launch line up giving real good hardware for 250. Sure, a price drop will be good, like Nintendo gave its under powered handheld one after 6 months. And Mario isn't a port? Or another Zelda? Damn Wiiboys are retarded, Nintendo systems only have
20 year old IPs and recycled stuff... Maybe you should buy Gravity Rush and Escape Plan. I doubt you even own a Vita. Lololol and then mentioning Resident Evil, god you're funny, that game is ported till death.
Back to the WiiU and Ps4, PS4 releases at the end of 2013, of course its stronger than a 2012 Nintendo machine, duh... Nintendo looks for easy ports from 360 and PS3, PS4 will change the game back to how it was with difference in power between PS3 and Wii up till now.
He also tried to tell me that 3DS ran Crysis on High settings at 20 FPS. Nintendrones aren't exactly the brightest when it comes actual gaming machines vs. children's play toys.
I never said anything bad about Nintendo games, but the fact still remains that the Wii is nothing more than a children's toy. The best selling Wii titles are games like Carnival games and Wii Fit. Games that appeal to children and fat stay at home soccer. I mean really, that's 85% of the Wii's demographic right, hence why it has actually sold this gen. Nintendo games are not core games because they don't appeal to actual core gamers. Only to casuals who don't mind playing the same exact sh*t for 3 decades straight. The last fresh title that actually attempted to be a hardcore gaming experience on Wii was Conduit, and look how well far that went.
Regardless of what or what any "Nintendrone" tells you, the 3DS is quite powerful for a "children's toy."
No, Sony and MS just have sh/tty marketing.
If everything is driven JUST by price then most companies would be gone then.
Sony and MS simply failed to appeal to this so called casual crowd.
