PlayStation 4 Coming Soon?

by Darren

The PlayStation 3 hasn’t been out fmore than six months, but that hasn’t stopped Sony officials from dreaming up what the next version will be like.

Rather than being an entirely new console, the device will supposedly include the same architecture as the current console but with a new drive bay and attachment area. The new box is said to also include extensive software suite for the managing of content being streamed to a TV or Hi Fi source.

It appears that these updates to the current console aim to position the machine as more of a home entertainment hub rather than as a games machine. “We have even looked at a Sony home server based on PlayStation technology. This would allow consumers to connect home automation devices to the Sony server while also delivering online gaming and access to an extensive movie and music library,” said one Sony source.

It seems premature for them to discussing a new model, but maybe their disappointment with sales figures is genuine.
