Development sources with working knowledge of both next generation consoles have told us that PlayStation 4 will be more powerful than the next Xbox, will ship with a redesigned controller and launch by the end of the year in Japan and the US. PlayStation 4’s European launch will follow in early 2014.

SONY POWER!!!!
BRING IT ON!!!
EDGE are quite reliable as far as things like rumours are concerned and this seems to be quite accurate.
But seriously, delayed release in Europe? That seriously blows.
Europe always get the consoles few months after as far as I know.
Oh well. Guess the launch title lineup for Europe will be packed.
Gotta see it from the bright side right?
Sony not giving MS any advantage.
will not wait for 2014, will get a US console even if it is marked up a little.
It also probably suits their fiscal reports better
Score 1 for me :D
I remember when I was in highschool and I called my dad while in school to see if he could find any gamestops near his work that had any left before launch day. Skipped school the next day to scout some stores with no luck. Except the guy who said "Ticket #1 son, I'll give it to you for 5 grand!" XD
Hope someone liveblogs this event, with pictures!
Can't wait to see the in-game demos.. .!!
Goodbye Hauppauge :-(
Sold!
Hmn...AMD processors....
So that is why NVidia made their own portable device...they were boxed out by Sony and M$.
(will still be buying one but feel like the aren't as interest in Europe)
If the rumor claims that Xbox is more powerful, everyone on n4g shoots it down and the rumor scale always goes in the red. If the rumor claims the PS4 is more powerful, then it's just the opposite.
Just wait for the damn official announcements!
On the other hand though the systems might have more bugs worked out and more games available on release.

Yes it sucks but Europe have always been hard because of multiple countries and launage etc
I am glad to hear of this feature but I said goodbye to my Hauppauge some time ago. It's still on the desk but Avermedia Live Gamer is the way to go. I get 1080p out of the PS3, I can stream games live on Twitch, and I can lay down all voices of everyone including me directly in the recording. It doesn't do 5.1 sound and that's the downfall but everything else is top notch.
It’s clear Sony has designed a system that, on paper, outperforms Microsoft’s next Xbox. One source familiar with both platforms tells us that in real terms Sony’s console is “slightly more powerful” and “very simple to work with”.
Then they can use the Fast RAM for what ever demands it.
You have to remember, these next consoles has to last 7 years, at least. If they put 4 GBs of ram, it will be outdated by the end of next year.
The PS4 will be fun, just like the 720 and Wii U are.
But there's far more powerful specs on PC's right now, and the GTX 7 and ATI 8 line are just around the corner and will be out well before PS4/720 come out.
Though the extra 50 percent will help a bit over 720, and PS4 seems to be as powerful as 3 Wii U's.
They both have their place, but niether is a replace all solution.
so when we add your recommended i5 and 8gb of drr3 ram and you still havent even listed the rest of the system
hdd
operating system
power supply
mother board
case
so not only do you have a uncompleted pc you have already spent £600 just on 3 components
recommending a pc is fine and all but don't talk like its a minor price increase instead of a console when the rest of the components are added you can wack another £300 on top
For great exclusives consoles are still needed.
If you are a true fan of gaming then you cannot be a platform fanboy.

What you have is not impresive, what you have its second rated I5 Cpu, if you want to troll, make sure your pc spec matches your mouth.
Consoles rule, always have and always will, PC are great but gaming rock on consoles.
I'll do that once these franchises are available on the PC platform legally:
God Of War
Twisted Metal
Gran Turismo
Little Big Planet
Uncharted
Killzone
MAG
Forza
Gears Of War
Metal Gear Solid
InFAMOUS
Once these franchises become legally available for the PC platform, then we can talk about being a PC gamer and leaving the consoles behind.
Anyways, with better specs, consoles wont have to focus optimizing so much. PC gamers should be thankful there will an jump in graphic performace too on console ports.
Can't wait till its finally revealed
I'm excited for the new features, that constant recording things sounds awesome. I love making videos.
Great job copy and pasting, good effort!
Anyways, I'm totally hyped for this reveal. I con only imagine what the launch titles are going to be. I think that Sony has learned it's lesson from the PS3, and I know they'll bring out some good stuff early.
Also late 2013 is prime selling point so it would be madness not to launch then in europe there 2nd biggest market. US is 3rd.
PC on the other hand do get their bells and whistles of multiplats so I guess there is a fair trade.
Um, and I'm pretty sure that millions upon millions of people want to play those titles, looking at their sales.
http://www.ign.com/articles... That doe snot count the ones on consoles and PC which is most games these days.

This sounds interesting, would be a cool feature if truth
hope that doesn't include the eye camera, because I always play naked.
Epic..
Some buffer RAM would obviously be necessary. It could be built into the OS RAM. I wouldn't think there would be a need to have a special chip for coding as the video card could dump the image swap directly to the buffer. However if it's going to be compressed, which is reasonable to assume it may dump to buffer then allow the specialized chip to process it. It'll likely be stored on a protected portion of the HD partition. Never know, you may be able to set it up to record more or less time if you wanted.
It's an interesting feature, and wonder what purpose they have for it other than that "wow cool" feeling.
In the other hand the Ps4 is more powerful:)
I know for sure I will buy a ps4 based on my past experiances with the brand.
Edit:The ps4 is also launching in the USA at Christmas according to the article.
Later release = more games, less bugs. Europe WINS
No need to bother we editing and recording voice overs on your PC.
I just more scared that we'll have some motion controls added into the box that we have to pay for together when we buy the console.
But this bit ["Importantly, we’ve learned that Sony has told developers that it is pushing for the final PS4 RAM to match up to Microsoft’s 8GB." ] is very exciting.
Now I hope MS up their specs as a result. Competition benefits everyone.
It has GDDR5 video memory.
Two different things.
GDDR isn't DDR.
Just like a car that uses unleaded can't run on diesel.
Sony has told developers that it is pushing for the final PS4 RAM to match up to Microsoft’s 8GB.
Why are this stories getting approved?
This site should be banned for something like this. Completely misleading title...I wont even click.
The title states "REVEALED".
The PS4 HAS NOT BEEN REVEALED....so its blatently misrepresenting the article....and obviously trying to get hits.
The main performance constraint comes from how quickly we can transfer data between ram and a processor rather than the ram capacity itself. The higher capacity benefit will mostly show itself in the form of richer game assets and some of the more memory-hungry rendering effects we see these days, however, it'll benefit all game functionality really, as all systems have hard-limits on data usage.
Anyways, it's really a matter of the quicker the ram and the higher the rate of data transfer, the higher the possible throughput of the entire program flow (code and hardware architecture intricacies aside). Having more capacity just means we have more of this high-speed storage area available for use, as opposed to relying on methods like streaming to and from slow media, or like various forms of on-the-fly decompression (which have only been able to take us so far - especially with the current consoles).
I hope they DONT bother with that Eye Toy + PS Move garbage again LOL They controller is the most interesting thing looking forward to the reveal!
How is it people fail to grasp this simple premise?
The title clearly states REVEAL, yet NOTHING has been revealed.
But, no one here seems to mind, and are completely ignoring that fact that this stuff isn't actual data...
N4G....wow.
Edit: I don't know how you got the disagree but you appear to have upset someone.
I do find it funny that so many of these rumor articles are getting approved. Some people will believe anything because they wish it to be true, we'll just have to wait and see I guess.
I honestly wish it could be like this picture.
http://media.giantbomb.com/...
I know in my heart that it'll never be that way though. At least I know that they're some sensible people out there like yourself, so not all hope is lost.
Even after witnessing the week of stupendous news that Sony has put out this week regarding Playstation, the God of War Live action trailer reveal coupled with the 30 minutes of play time that are accompanying it, and lets not forget that a lot of websites and journalists have now finally have had HANDS ON time with The Last of Us, I dont see how anyone could think the PS3 is on its way out, much less that a PS4 is needed now.
Even still, my body is ready! Bring on "The Future"
Cmon man, dont bring that crap in here.
Anyone remember the Open Zone?
*cue flashback scene*
LOL sony changed PS4 specs to match rumored 720 internet speculation LMAO
