PS4 Latest Gossip #1
The fact that a ps4 for 2012-2013 does not take over the problem with Larrabe think it would be a mistake by Sony, not if the end Microsoft will follow the game or wait for the 7 power to reduce its price and incorporate into its new machine, but Sony’s unexpected move may precipitate a new generation too soon.
The main problem I see with this movement, other than that Sony lied to their users by selling a console that would last 10 years and will last only 6-7 at best, (because at the time ps4 comes out to light, may continue to sell ps3, but this is not ps2 or catalog sales or whether it will fall into oblivion the first change), but we run the risk that this generation is an intermediate generation. That is, the jump is not as important as with the last generation.
Today only one processor is promising, with Larrabe out of combat power Only 7 could provide a breakthrough. 8 cores and 32 threads viertualización for at 4 GHz would be nearly 6 times more powerful than xbox 360. (The difference between xbox 1 and xbox 360 is 12 times your processor) and as for graphics cards, because if we go to high-end ATI, the most powerful to date, would give a major jump, would rise from 200 Gflos theorists of the GPU 360 to the 5 TFLOPS of the ATI 5970 but at what price? This card costs about 600 euros and two years would not fall enough to put it on a console. A if things, the combination you want Microsft: Power 7 and 5 Seri ATI is the most powerful to date, but with a very high cost (and even then the difference between the two machines will not be more than 8 times potent in the best case, when the indices of the previous generation 10 and 12 exceeded the PS3 is 15 times more powerful than PS2) and Sony can try to make the move to bring a product halfway generation to try to do what Microsoft did with its 360. The problem is that you may get it and drag it to Microsoft console also take generations. It has been rumored in recent months with a possible output of a home console. This would be a middle console between the new xbox and now. This move would violate the promise from Microsoft to remove Natal compatible with 360, so I think that the rumor is not true, but perhaps Sony movements he had no choice but to do that Natal Microsoft and may not be enough to combat with the new Sony console.
My opinion is that the date from 2013 onwards it was the purchase consideration was the logic and this move by Sony will destabilize the market and we may eat a half-finished generation.
