Assuming this is not a April fools.... I really don't understand Sony making this move, they are doing great with the PS4 as is and it's far too early for essentially a new console. Going to [censored] off a lot of people.

If this is the way things are going then may as well go the PC route.

Hello stranger!

I really don't understand why people should get [censored] off? Unless they stop making decent games for PS4 (not going to happen) then what is it they think they are entitled to? Is it like The Dog in the Manger, if they can't have it, nobody else should either? I really don't see the problem, or for that matter believe there will be a noticeable difference for gaming in reality.

But why shouldn't somebody like Magoo get the benefit from his 4k telly?

Have you just come out the Nick or something not seen you on here for about 6 months .

Excuse me..........Its Mr Magoo

If these rumours are true this is essentially a PS5 being released 3 years after the PS4, I think many people will feel that is too early for a new console. If called the PS4 still it is making 2 different spec machines in the same generation, the best thing about consoles is that they are all the same aside from the HDD and physical size of the machine, this is changing that.

What makes much more sense to me is they stick to the formula of making a slimmed down version this year then release a PS5 2 years down the line with much better specs. Of course, Sony can do what ever they like and the consumer will then judge them.

Haha

Just hardly been gaming aside from the ones I play with my daughter, like Minecraft and LBP.

why would we need a slimmed down version with the same spec,i could understand a slim version of the original playstation 3 but not the 4 as its nice and compact as it is and doesn't need a design change unless it has better graphical power with the upgrade they are rumoured to be talking about.

I don't think we need a slim version but it's what they seem to do, probably because it is cheaper for them to make.

nope using the asus ac68 I think I told you on the sky forums, if not sorry.

When I ordered sky the sky hub turned up about 2 days before the migration date, I plugged it into my laptop to grab the auth data, so I had that ready to go when the migration date occurred, and my router has not had any problems at all using sky's auth system. Its actually more stable, as on previous isps plusnet and BT I used to get session drops maybe 3-4 times a month on average, and on sky they are very rare, maybe twice since I started using them late last year.

agreed, I dont understand why people are not seeing it for what it really is. Games may initially work on both machines, but it will only be a matter of time before they start been exclusive on the newer machine.

Of course this comment is based on the speculation been true.

However neogaf is usually reliable, and devs talking about new dev kits are usually reliable as well.

I did wonder if sony would commit a suicidal move as they had this generation sown up, a newer gen console 2.5 years into cycle is probably just about the worst thing they could have done.
