PlayStation 4 officially announced

Update: I've confirmed that there are 8 Jaguar based AMD CPU cores inside the PS4's APU. The CPU + GPU are on a single die.

We don't know specifics of the GPU, but with approaching 2 TFLOPS we're looking at a level of performance somewhere between a Radeon HD 7850 and 7870. Update: Sony has confirmed the actual performance of the PlayStation 4's GPU as 1.84 TFLOPS. Sony claims the GPU features 18 compute units, which if this is GCN based we'd be looking at 1152 SPs and 72 texture units. It's unclear how custom the GPU is however, so we'll have to wait for additional information to really know for sure. The highest end PC GPUs are already faster than this, but the PS4's GPU is a lot faster than the PS3's RSX which was derived from NVIDIA's G70 architecture (used in the GeForce 7800 GTX, for example). I'm quite pleased with the promised level of GPU performance with the PS4. There are obvious power and cost constraints that would keep AMD/Sony from going even higher here, but this should be a good leap forward from current gen consoles.

Another promo. Doesn't say much other than bits about the instant boot feature and the fact that you can start playing a game even if you've only partly downloaded it...

 
I wasn't planning on getting one at launch, but now that they've announced another inFAMOUS I've changed my mind, guess it's time to start saving up ....
 
Looks like the controller still has that R2 & L2 buttons that don't have concave shapes (unless I missed something), so fingers will easily slip when hands are sweating... :confused:

:D:)

On a side note... I new there'd be a Killzone launch title. It was only obvious :p
 
Really clever of Sony to announce it now, they marketing it earlier and have more mindshare. They haven't shown everything so they can still get some hype at E3 even when MS shows the new Xbox.
 
Watched this live last night, I'm so amped for the PS4!! As soon as I saw the new Killzone gameplay demo I was sold, day 1 purchase for me!!! I cannot WAIT :D!!
