PlayStation4 reviled!

So, as some of you know the PS4 has been reviled at the Sony event in New York last night, and most (if you don't why are you reading this?) of you don't know what is new in the PS4! Not a lot is known but some of the main things are.

The first is the controller is the new DualShock4 is cool with the same basic look of the DualShock3 and has a improved rumble, a small touchpad that is like the one on the back of the Vita, on the top of the remote between the directional pad and the , , , and  buttons, there is a light bar that can display different colors, used to indicate which player is which and to indicate critical messages such as low health. This is used to communicate with a dual camera attachment; the external camera attachment perceives movement and depth by using the controller's light bar, and the DualShock4 features the following buttons: PS button, SHARE button, OPTIONS button, d-pad, action buttons (triangle, circle, cross, square), shoulder buttons (R1/L1), triggers (R2/L2), analog stick click buttons (L3/R3) and a touch pad click button. These mark several changes from the DualShock3 and other previous PlayStation controllers. The START and SELECT buttons have been merged into a single OPTIONS button. A dedicated SHARE button will allow players to upload video from their gameplay experiences. The joysticks and triggers have been redesigned based on developer input. The joysticks will now feature a concave surface, similar to that of the Xbox 360 controller.

<sup>Also the PlayStation 4 will feature a custom-designed single-chip processor, with an 8-core 64-bit x86 central processing unit (CPU) developed by AMD. It is code-named "Jaguar". This architecture marks a change from the "powerful but difficult to develop for" Cell processor found in the PlayStation 3. The graphics processing unit (GPU) will be based on next-generation AMD Radeon graphics. It will perform at 1.84 TFLOP/s. It is likely to perform better than a mid-range graphics card in a gaming computer. It will also include dedicated graphics technology for seamless compression and decompression of video media. The PlayStation 4 will include 8 GB of GDDR5 system memory, allowing for 176 GB/s of bandwidth. Memory will be unified, meaning that the console lacks dedicated video RAM; all RAM is shared between processing and graphics capabilities. This feature has been found in past consoles such as the Xbox 360. The read-only optical drive will read Blu-ray discs at 6x and DVDs at 8x. A hard disk drive will be included, although Sony has not yet announced the size. The PlayStation 4 will feature 802.11 b/g/n network connectivity as well as Ethernet. USB 3.0 will be included, as will Bluetooth 2.1. An auxiliary port will also be included. The system will come bundled with a mono headset, which can be plugged into the DualShock4. Output options will be HDMI, analog AV-out, and optical S/PDIF audio out. The console will support output of 4K resolution video but games cannot be rendered in that resolution.

The thing Sony did not show was the PS4 itself! So I guess we might need to wait for E3 for that.

Will you rush out and buy one when it comes out in the 4th quarter of 2013? Do you think the next Xbox will be better? Let me know!</sup>
