I had a hunt around for PS4 concept designs the other day and didn’t find much at all. Anything I did find was just old PS3 concepts with the number 3 scrubbed out.
When do you think the concepts will start rolling in as to how the PS4 will look? It seems that the target for electronics now is a black, polished, shiny type look like the new LG TV’s and the PS3. Will the designs follow suit in 3 – 4 years time? or are we looking at some way of hiding or integrating the PS4 with other technology in the home? It could be that there is no physical medium to play games from meaning that no access to the device is really needed and thus, it can be hid in a book shelf.
What’s everyone’s thoughts on this?
Maybe we should hold a competition for the best PS4 concept design. Let me know what you think of that idea.

i believe that that would be an outstanding idea and i believe that the ps4 could be a truly wonderful idea and if it lives up to its expectations to what i have heard from my recent gaming meetings and from you i shall be one very happy customer in years to come when this product is released.
PS4 will be so much better than the xbox 720 and if so PS3
it will suck.xbox will rule.
Okay its just an idea but how about a TV that has the PS4 built in, like a DVD player.
I also hope that Sony will develope the motion sensor remotes more as they dont utalise them as much as they could, and we know it works just look at the Wii.
I Think Ps4 Will Be Better Then Xbox 720. That Name Xbox 720 Doesn’t Sound Good. I Think Sony Will Rule Gaming Entertainment. I Wish Ps4 Looks Better Then Xbox And I Think It Will. The Reason People Buy Xbox 360 Is Because, They Cant Afford A Ps3 And Its True.
i got a ps3 and i am getting a 400gb hd nexted month internal hd and 40 blue ray movies and 14 ps3 games when the set top box comes nexted year its going to kill exbox360 and the 720 go bye one its wicked on warhark games lol
I hope ps4 is gonna be alot better then the ps3 .
and i hope there will be more exclusives on the ps3 next year.
I think that sony will win in the next gen war, microsoft will be secound and for nintendo.. i cant say for sure if there still on dvd then no, microsoft has the money and well there great at style and stuff even if they fail at a few outher things… you will have to wate and see for your self these are just my thoughts
ps3 is the most sexual thing ever made, could you imagine… call of duty 8 on the ps4, how amazing would that be!!!
i think the next ps3 should have some kind of a built in multi disc changer and some kind of a digital read out on the front
I have a humble 40 gb ps3 and it kicks my mates 360 elites ass! I have to say, i really like it but i’d like to see better internet stuff. e.g. FLASH PLAYER!!!!! on the ps4
P.S. Wiis suck for REAL gaming and xboxes are alright
Personally, i think the PS4 should be more like a laptop. Bigger screens but portabl. You put the game in, turn it on, Plug in a wirless controler and just play anywhere.
i think it would need these things:
blu ray or better if available in 2012, imagine green ray!
flash 10 >, motion sensing and as for ps3s playstation eye, what if it were wireless, had wifi, 4 motorised legs and a panel that opens up with a 3″ screen, joystick and buttons, maybe even remote play! a walking spherical camera that opens up and plays you ps4 videos, pictures etc, i would sooo buy that, going back to the console and not its acessories maybe it could have backwards compatibility and the original RSX graphics card but instead 3 of them and each of them have more than double the original GDDR3 VRAM and quadruple the processing power, as for the cell processor, 40 cores and a secondary AMD anthlon multi core 8.0 ghz processor if available at that time and possibly a pair of gloves that detect where the fingertips are so you can hold a model gun, load it with bb pellets and the character would mimic that with his ak47, i love my ps3 and i know no console is the best and no console ever will be but this would bring it very close, take that microsoft / nintendo fanboys LOL
my thought on ps4 are as follows no.1 processor speeds trippled, this would enable graphics twice as great and also cut loading times to hopefully nothing but this would obviously depend on the media on which the game is stored. No. 2 storage media. hard disk drives are slow noisy and generate a lot of heat. The future medium is ssd solid state drives. No noise less heat less power consumption and greater read/write speeds. if it is possible to embed the disk or disks onto the motherboard then this would reduce the bottle neck effect further. No 3 games would be download only, with an option to purchase a ps4 without a disk drive saving space and money. No 4 browser. fully up to date upgradable with all plugins and with the option to download diffrent browers for example firefox No 5 bluetooth. improved performance in this area to enable mobile phones to transfer all media quick and simply. thankyou
PS4 Specifications I’d like to see:
2-3Gb XDRRAM
4 Cell Processors With Updated 10 SPE’s each.
An advanced RSX GPU, possibly two of them using SLI tech.
Blu-Ray Drive read 6x (PS3 drive is horribly slow[2x] = Mandatory Installs)
5 USB ports for 4 controllers and 1 multimedia device
HDMI x2 [like originally promised]
And idc if there is a small power brick, MAKE THE CONSOLE SMALLER
I can hide the brick myself lol :]
Tell me what you think about my PS4 Specs. , I’m not very tech smart.

Hello
I Think A Lcd Tv In A Ps4 Will Be Good N I Wish There Could Be A Built In Webcam N A Microphone That Slides Up N A Built In Keyboard Which Will Be Good.
You Should Have A Better Bluetooth Device Where You Can Send Pictures N Music To You Friends Phone. There Should Be A Led Light In The Ps4 Where You Can Choose You Own Light To Modify The Ps4. Sony Should Make The Ps4 Better So It Does’nt Crash Like The Ps3 Does Sometimes. I Can’t Imagine The Ps4 I Can’t Wait. I Think Sony Should Make A Little Bag So Then Its Eazy To Carry
xbox is the best, then wiii, then ps3, and ne 1 who calls it xbox 720 is a complete retard
I think a lot of people only call it the XBox 720 as we don’t know the official name yet. If you feel strongly about a new name perhaps suggest it and we may follow
(or not). But i disagree about your console positions, for me PS3 is best, then XBox then Wii.
I do very much like the XBox, but find it to be getting dated very fast. I love Gears of War, but honestly, how much better does gears 2 look? Not a lot…you’d think they could do better after 2 years!
i know nothing about tech and crap but would we even use disks woulde’nt it be easier to have like a usb like thing for your games
currently usb’s arn’t powerfull enough to hold games, but maby whe the ps4 comes out they will.
i think that although ps3′s are the better console, you get more for your mony with the 360′s (x-box 720 is the poopest name of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HI THERE YOU ARE RIGHT THE SONY PS3 IS WAY FASTER TEHN THE X-BOX ELITE THE X-BOX SOO SLOW I HAVE COMPLAINED TOO MICROSOFT X-BOX PUT A FAST SSD SOLID STATE DRIVE IN THE X-BOX 720 AND SONY SHOULD OFF EATHER 32 GB OR 128 A 256 GB OR A 1 TB SSD SOLID STATE FLASH DRIVE OR USE USE A 150 OR 300 GB 10,000 RPM WESTERN DIGITAL HARD DRIVE OR USE SEAGATE 300 OR 600 GB 15,000 RPM CHEETAS GAMING CONSOLES SHOULD INVEST IN WAY FASTER DRIVES INSTEAD OF CHEAPEST CONSOLE LIKE GET LASER HARD DRIVES AT 100 TB/S 100 TERABYETS PER SECOND
HI THERE PS4 HALOGRAPHIC DISC IS BETTER THEN BLUE RAY BECUASE HALOGRAPHIC DISC CAN HOLD 3.9 TERABYTES UP TO 50 OR 100 TERABYTES BY THE SCINTIST
Hmm… 8th gen gaming is coming 2012-2013 and there are 3 announced…
:::Xbox 720
:::PS4
:::Wii2
I don’t know… The PS3 came out in 2007 and they still cost around £300 in England… So what will the PS4 cost? And what will the graphics be like? Will we need a HD cable or will it be all through the SCART plug? I definately want it to be slim and small… Say Wii design, but smoother, and mabye in White, Black and Silver… Put it this way, if you want a PS4 START SAVING UP NOW!!!
HI THERE YOU ARE RIGHT SONY COULD CONQURE THE GAMING MARKET BUY RELEASING THERE 4 TERABYTE GAMES AND MOVIES ON HALOGRAPHIC DISC THAT COULD SUPORT 100 TERABYTE GAMES AND MOVIES THE COMPUTITION WOULD BE WAY OUT OF MEMORY I CANT WAIT UNTILL I WILL BE FIRST ON THE FIRST TERABYTE GAME LIST
ps4 will rock and for all u xbox 360 fanboyz out there.u just dont like the the ps3 cuz u guys are poor theorists who cant afford the best console and ur too much of a cat to admit it
i think the ps4 will not be as good as ps3 because it does not plug into the tv and most people like the playstaions to be conected to the tv they sould make a ps(playstainon) that is buletooht to your tv so you dont have any wires
i do like ps4 and 3 because but i think 3 will be the best
Hmm wow, pooer…. I’d rather own a 360 than a ps3. You get better games on the 360 than you do the ps3. What does the PS3 have that the 360 doesn’t have? Besides MGS4, and uncharted? Notta, nothing. Whos got better online? Xbox live. So you have to pay for it, so what. So the PS3 has dedicated servers, big deal. Takes for ever to get a match most of the time. So the Xbox has lag issues, so does the PS3, and no its not the systems but your internet.
So the PS3 can play Blu-ray, big deal, why pay $30 bucks for a movie that I can get on dvd and it looks the same on HDMI. The PS3 controller is so great, no it sucks just like the first 2, hasn’t changed. So the Xbox gets the red ring of death, big deal, don’t want the red ring, buy a 2008 or newer. My Xbox scrathed my game, idiot, don’t stand it up and knock it over. My PS3 has better graphics, yeah, not by much, look at COD: WaW, on all 3 systems and looks best on 360. My PS3 can surff the net, so what, I have a computer, and it does it better than your PS3. Mass Effect is coming to the PS3, no its not, MS owns the rights to the trilogy, or at least the first one, you’ll never see it. Oh the PS3 has MAG, big deal, long respawn time, bad weapon custom menus, graphics look like RB6V and it came out 4 years ago. Oh the Maps are so big!, yeah how many are there? Oh the gun play is so..so..so…your better off playin an Xbox game with lag, and screen frozen. Oh the campain is so, oh wait there isn’t one, but its got 256 players, yeah, that about all its got. Don’t get me wrong PS3 is a good system if you own the slim, almost no problems with it. Still the PS3 only has a few games worth owning that you can wait for, really what game is there besides MGS4 that is worth keeping it? Is PSNetwork really so great? no its not. Can the PS do better graphics, yes, has there been more than 10 games that show off this true power? no. Really what reason is there to own a PS3? Not much. On the other hand Xbox 360 came out first, more people have them in the usa that is, it is cheaper to get fixed or replaced, its online is better overall, better games, nothing on the PS3 has spoke wow, I got to go out and buy another one of you, just for this game. Heck how many people have had to replace there laser in there PS3? Don’t get me wrong the PS3 will overcome the 360, but not until it gets more good games that can only be found on the system. I think it will out sell the 360, but thats a 1 – 2 years away. Heck Nintendo is laughing at Sony, for losing so much on each system. Mircosoft lost money on the Xbox, didn’t beat the PS2, but just maybe might out last the PS3, interms of content and games, its 3 times better than the PS3. Will the PS3 win the war? Maybe, but at the moment its losing. Will Xbox win, maybe, if it can keep sony in the review mirror. Nintenodo is just miles ahead, and there system is just a gamecube with motion controls, and mostly Nintendo games, rehashed games. So probley, Nintendo wins even though thats hard for most of you to beleive, Nintendo will win, making money like crazy and they hardly have to make and games for there system, and being they make money off each system cause of its last gen power, that is why they will probley win. Mircosoft buys up all these big titles, and series, and yet sony doesn’t make any games anymore expect GT5, and the GT series has been a joke since 3 came out. Mircosoft overall may have the second most powerfull system, but its got bigger and better games. That is why its ahead of sony right now. Until Sony gets some good AAA titles, its not gonna surpass the 360. The only thing the PS3 has going for it is that its gonna out last the 360 by 2 years, until PS4 comes out. Just wondering in that time, will we seen any great TAAA games for the system or not.
Oh, and even though the Xbox and 360 lost a ton of money, the 360 is accually making money now, just wonder when, and if, the PS3 will make money for sony?
James the way you talk that the Playstation 3 has no exclusive games worth getting besides Metal Gear Solid 4 & Uncharted (personally didn’t like the first Uncharted) but you dont by a console just for it’s exclusive games do you? now i own both PS3 & XBOX 360 blha blha blha heard it before, absolutely nothing different, online services? exactly the same.
Saying Bluray is exactly the same as a normal DVD just proves your longing devotion to XBOX because it doesn’t have it & your unparalleled stupidity, Mass Effect…got it on Pc, MAG sucks everyone noticed a year befor you,
What games is there worth keeping? Motorstorm, Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, God of War 3, Twisted Metal \m/, Resistance, are just a few iv played of the top of my head, but remember we buy console to play games so you have Fallout 3, Bioshock them two alone are reason enough to keep any console,
You say the pads crap? personally no problems with ither controler, PS3 pad fits snug in my hands & XBOX controler does too.
And are you seriously still talking about the console war that ended in 2008 when everyone agreed the Wii had out sold each console 3x at least & when everyone had stopped giving a BLEEP?
I don’t really care whos won i own & enjoy the XBOX & PS3 i haven’t bought a Wii personally but my significant other ownes one with all the gadgets & its a worth winner, hopefully james you are a dieing breed of people who will one day just shut the fudge up and stop scrutinising other people’s personal preferences & the flaws in the choices as the world obviously not as perfect as you sir
go play your amazing Xbox & never touch the Playstation 3, fine by me i’ll sit hear enjoying both consoles doing what they where built for, having fun
I AGREE WITH DEAN CONSOLE WARS ARE PAST BETWEEN THE XBOX 360 AND THE PS3 EVERYONE KNOWS THAT MICROSOFT XBOX GIVE A SHIT LOAD OF PROBLEMS CONSIDERING I OWN ONE I HAD TO CALL MICROSOFT EVERY MONTH FOR PROBLEMS WITH MY 360 NEVER HAD TO CALL SONY BUT ONCE ON THE ACCOUNT THAT I HAD TO GET MY LASER CHANGED BUT IVE HAD MY PS3 CONSOLE FOR A WHILE SO EVENTUALLY ITS GONNA NEED TO BE SERVICED DONT GET ME WRONG I DO ENJOY THE 360 AND AS FOR THE ONLINE ON THE 360 THERE IS NOT AN OUNCE OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PSN AND XBOX LIVE EXCEPT FOR CROSS GAME CHAT AND IS THAT REALLY WORTH PAYING A YEARLY FEE FOR ONLINE CAUSE ITS SEEMS LIKE THAT ALL THAT I GET OUT OF THAT $60
