In news that will no doubt shock you to your bones and turn your world upside down, PlayStation magazine PSM3 has said that the next console from Sony, currently happily dubbed the PS4, will be ‘more powerful’ than the next Xbox. Which doesn’t have an official name yet – at least publicly. I’m calling it Terry.
Picked up by fellow Future publication CVG, which also features lots of ways to buy the magazine when it’s released next week, PSM3 says that the PS4 will be out mere ‘months’ behind Terry, the latter running off a PowerPC chipset and starring Kinect 2.0 (and hopefully a Dashboard that isn’t utterly horrible to use).
Both machines will be on show at this year’s E3, third parties have indicated, with many speculating that the next generation of consoles, both PS4 and Terry, will be available in 2013. I’m happy about this, hopefully the new machines will be capable of 1080p in more than about five games, and run at decent framerates in 3D.
Got to feel a bit sorry for Nintendo’s Wii U, mind.

Some say that Sony are utilising a Captain Planet powered processor.
Some say this is bullshit.
I hope the PS4 is the most powerful next gen console, price be damned – POWER!!!

I will be in for the PS4. Hey, I just realized my PHat PS3 is almost 5 years old. Another LEAP year! Hopefully no leap year issues this time around!

I just hope voice chat actually works properly on the next PlayStation, hopefully properly integrated. At the moment game by game i’m getting more miffed with not being able to speak with my friends online. (Besides a few titles that work fine)

It doesn’t matter which is more powerful. That’s an old way of thinking from the bit-wars day of Sega and Nintendo.
The PS3 has a more powerful processor than the 360 but is it ‘better’? The Wii is vastly underpowered compared to either of them but it still outsold the shit out of them for years.
It’s all down to the games, the marketing and the price.

What’s their definition of ‘powerful?’ I wonder if they’ll include a new and improved Trophy System and I can’t imagine better graphics then the Ps3.
