Sony has finally revealed a fleeting and rather indistinct glimpse of their social wonder-console the PlayStation 4, though the suspense over the console’s design which they have so assiduously cultivated looks set to continue until its formal unveiling on the 10th of June – so far all that has been gleaned from their new video is that it “square.”

main sponsor of the ps4 is "square enix "... ba dum chh
Probably because of the social games, amirite?
They wanted it's shape to perfectly reflect an icon in the Appstore. Now you just drag the PS4 to it's new home in your entertainment center, like you would an icon.
NO BUT YOU ARE SHIT ANYWAYS SO WHO CARES.
geh xbox one failed me
Can I call it a game cube or is that trademarked already?
More like "PlayCube" or "Cubestation"
No, that would be Pubestation.
What about "Playbox"?
Em, Playbox will be '720.
No, no, you call it the Playboy. PlayStation + Gameboy.
It's a Gamebrick.
going for "CubeCube"
Maybe they should roll it out with Purple Haze playing in the background. "The super fast, super quiet, super console. In an eight...inch...cube."
Or would Apple fire up the lawyer-mobile?
Just call it by what it already is; blowme gaystation
Game-Square.
Square without Enix
Playstation 4 better not have a dick in a Box.
It wouldn't exactly be a cube though, more of a flat square/rectangle
The advertising agency messed up and accidentally used a Wii for the video. They blurred the image in an attempt to hide their mistake.
lame cube.
The console matters not.
Only the games.
the console matters quite a bit, granted they alreay told us everything that matters, 8core amd with a 7850 equivalent gpu and 8gb gddr5 the shape... not so much... well... the 360 has holes on the top for cooling, and the ps3 is curved so you cant fucning put anything on top of them... which for some people is very important.
Maybe Zura meant the outer appearance.. which not that matter to me. It can be cube, it can be triangle or circle shape, or pink in color but as long it provide great game I can get on board with that.
Yeah, sure. People will buy a game console not because it has great games, but because they can put stuff on top of it ...
Yeah... I don't care about the specs of a console. I've been following the console generations for 20 years now and the last console worth its money was the PS2 (IMO). The GC didn't have many great games, first XBox had some good things.
The following generation lost me absolutely: I don't care about "activity games" or party/sing/sports titles, so the Wii was uninteresting to me (just to play Zelda, Mario and some exclusives I don't buy the Wii), also I owned eyetoy for the PS2 and it was a waste of money.
As I could afford only one console, it came down to either PS3 or 360. As I love JRPGs, I bought the 360, which had quite some exclusive JRPGs. Most of them got ported to the PS3 later with additional content, sucks. Well... most other games were released on both consoles, so there isn't much to talk about. The games I own (around 30 discs for the 360 + some from marketplace) are not that great.
If I could keep only 3-5 games, there'd be no problem... on every older console I couldn't choose!
I don't care about the specs of the current gen either, it doesn't matter as the games aren't that great (IMO). I already don't care for the next gen and won't buy any console, even if it cost me only 100 Euro or came with who-cares-what-accessoires (Kinect, Move, 3D room creation thing, blabla).
Meh, I'll wait until they decide to release the "upgraded standard PS4" with better specs and memory. That way it'll last longer than half a year against it's own games.
8 AMD e series cores it's a glorified netbook chip.
The performance should be equivalent to a quad core chip from 2008.
As for the GPU being equivalent to a 7850 I doubt it as the memory bandwidth must be shared with the CPU.
Jaguar is more or less a die shrink of Bobcat which was made to compete with Atom and the VIA Nano.
Still it should be a step up from the PS3 because of GPGPU features in the graphics chip.
Though if they wanted low power they might as well went with several arm cores.
After reading a bit more, it's actually two 4 core AMD "Jaguar" chips running in tandem. It's still a netbook chip but they fixed most of the major design problems of the bobcat and added modern instruction sets. Should be decently fast if game code is optimized properly.
Memory bandwidth isn't a problem either since they're using GDDR5 and a specialized 256 bit memory controller for both system and video. I've seen figures quoting six times more memory bandwidth than an i7 running DDR3-1600.
Assuming each chip has its own graphics core, it would be like running some kind of crossfire setup. Could be fun.

"You don't know yet!"
master yoda strong
Agreed. GAME ON!!!!
moar like ghey on!
there are no gays... just men wearing girls anime bras.
It's a box...
*immediate next thought*
"This here's MY SEX BOX, and her NAME is Sony."
Wait 1 year before buying it cos it's gonna come with a whole lotta bugs and shit?
Rev 1.0 anything is usually shit.
If the console name were "Square"... I'd call the main bug: "Enix blink of Death" or something
0:15 in vid? go faster stripes!
Why not make it Char Aznable red and but a Zeon logo on it? I prefer Full Frontal logo more than Char's though
If you guys want to know how the console looks put together through those tiny pieces of Information through this Trailer - you should check this link out:

Additional Info - It can be, that the Picture is not 100% Accurate, but most details should be correct.
Seems realistic and should be compatible with the TDP of the parts inside.
At least this news is worth more discussing than that shitty list.
Playstation wins regardless since the nextbox is going to have blu ray... You know what that means? Sony going to own crapbox! >_<
The dawn of gamers.
"My God. It's full of 12-year-olds!"
