PS4 will end up being a ADD ON device to PS3

It makes sense to me. Here's why:

1) Generally I think most consumers aren't ready for a new console, not to mention casual gamers probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference in graphics this time around for a next gen console. You know how a lot of you guys have your little graphics wars, comparing texture to texture? Yeah... casual gamers don't care about that.

2) Game developer costs will remain relatively the same

3) There's all this talk about NGP/Vita compatibility w/PS3

Sega 32-X didn't work in the past, but with today's economy things could be different.

I predict an announcement at E3!

No.

Unlikely to happen in dat way!

And where will it be added on to PS3? Through controller ports? :lol:

Not going to happen. Even if it did, what could it add and how?

They're called USB PORTS!!!!!! :D

So people will have to buy an old PS3 AND an add on? sounds expensive

In short: no

In long: :lol: no

Yes please, Hyrule Noire, please. :O "Princes Peach had what kind of damage an 1/8 of an inch into her what!?!?":O @Mr. Selfdestruct

people are denying & makeing jokes about this but sony actually planned this a while back, basically it's a part you add to ps3 and it will make it more powerful.no need for a new console

How will we connect this add on to our PS3s? Via USB? Bluetooth-connected wireless hardware upgrades?

yes and onlive will dominate and lepricons will take over the world.

huh? i dont believe it at all.

When the PS3 launched there was all this talk about PSP/PS3 connectivity too...

And where exactly would you hook it up? You can't hook it up via USB. It doesn't have nearly enough bandwidth to make a difference. Nothing will happen with this patent because they can't implement it without sending it back to Sony to upgrade the PS3.

I heard from a reliable source that it will be shipped with small hammer to break PS3s original shell. You will then plug it into the hole and it will work magically.

The PS3 will be an add on to the PS4.ferret-gamer

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"]The PS3 will be an add on to the PS4.LOXO7

It's technicly impossible, PS3 don't have any expansion port :P

haha you guys are mean! People were talking about PS4... just thought i'd throw this in. Anyway I know it's a long shot, close to impossible... but if I'm right you guys are all donating me your PS3's and Xbox 360's. I don't care about your Wii's. That reminds me, Wii motion plus is technically an ADD ON to the Wii, right? Kinect technically is an ADD ON to the 360, and Move to the PS3... well you get it :P

Well if this won't happen at E3 there won't be a PS4 announced this year either. NGP looks like it's designed to function directly w/the PS3.

before anyone starts suggesting the use of the usb ports....let me point out that usb ports do not support a high enough bandwidth for the data that is proccessed by parts like teh GPU & CPU etc.
