it appears as if sony may have joined reality (even if their fanboys haven't) and may launch the ps4 in under 18 months according to a "sony insider"...

if this comes true this is a huge slap to all those who payed $650 USD to play a console for 2 years...

the bad news:  they're still gonna use bluray... stupid.... :(

"but teh teh milkage" :cry:...........:lol: It's useless to me, i'll wait for a PS3 to drop in price. I'm just pointing out that this as well as the 360 Elite are both a waste of money and people need to realize both companies are out for your money.

It just sounds to me that they will release a different version of the PS3. It uses the same chipset so it will be PS3. Probably a smaller one like they did with the slim PS2. Sony would lose all respect in the video game industry if it released 2 Playstation systems within 2 years.

I doubt it.  The PS3 hasn't exactly brought about the Second Coming like Sony envisioned it would, but I think it's far from kaput this early on.

Its says it will use the same chip set. All this means is you might get a differnent case design, much like when the PS2 went slim line.

This sounds like just another refinement or edition of the PS3, or maybe even a PSX type unit.  Not a new game system.

Still, you have to admit there is almost no credibility from somebody who has not been named. An updated PS3 is possible, but PS4 before 2010 is rediculous. Not even lemmings can believe this.

actually it would be smartest thing sony could do.

bluray is a disaster, the ps3 is a disaster, and ken lost his job becuase of it.

if they removed the bluray drive and STOPPED naming their hardware (dumb) and join reality, they could beat MS to the next gen, with a better price, and earlier launch..

the 360 already proved the importance of first-to-market...

buy yeah..you're right... no name = little cred...

The name PS4 is put in the title by the author citing an unamed source.  He also states it uses the same chipset.  If that's the case there's no way it could be a PS4, as it would still play and render the same game library.  Further, there is no possible way Sony could get a new system out in 18 months.   As unreliable as Sony is they couldn't even get dev kits out in time.

I see the TC is tango.  I still open the thread.  I still read what he says.  And I still reply.  And yet, just like always, my IQ falls 50 points just attempting to engage in any meaningful and thoughtful debate with him.  Perhaps I'm retarded or just insane, since one of the defitinitions of insanity is repeating the same mistake and expecting a different result each time.

you could be right...

who said sony has to have a new chipset for the ps4?  sony could easily stick with the existing chipset which would be more cost effective in 2 years, include chips to run ps1 and ps2 games and have ONE console for all ps games.

Sony is no stranger to milking and could easily charge people premium for old technology to offset the huge losses created by the ps3...

imo, that would crush MS... if they could come in under or at cost...

it's weird becuase the cows were SWEARING "spring 06 cuz ken said so"..all the way up until spring 06 and no ps3 was to be had...

I doubt it's a true story. If anything it'll be alot like the Elite, not much of an upgrade and not worth the money.

no.

hd dvd players are outselling bluray players 4 to 1 in North America

hd dvd is being backed by the EU, not so much for bluray.

hd dvd is being backed by porn...bluray isn't....

bluray movies sales are being artificially inflated by counting the free movies bundles with the ps3...;)

oh...and Walmart and China are in the works to create cheap hd dvd players...

His point is that Bluray isn't a disaster, it's doing great. Bluray DVD's are increasing on Netflix where I order my movies more and more all the time.

You didn't include PS3's in your sales figures, screw the EU (:P I have nothing to argue that one), porn is stilling using ONLY DVD's. They haven't gone HD yet. lol, they often still use VHS. Inflated sales or not, the are clearly still selling much faster than HD-DVD's.

Probably because I've read so many of your threads and/or waiting endless to provide sources and definitive links for even half of you claims only to see you move the goalposts to support your arguements.

the ps3 doesn't really count as it's a game machine.. much like the way ps2 are not included in total dvd player sales...

um...vivid video has a nice collection of hd dvd movies...in fact they had them at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Vegas in 06...

at this point it's not about how many movies are sold but how many players they can sell...

You should try asking him for a link regarding the announcement of the deal between HD-DVD and Walmart or one showing that Nielsen-Videoscan includes free bundled movies in sales figures.    You'll be waiting all day.

I disagree. The PS3 has a bluray drive SPECIFICALLY for the purpose of promoting bluray. The PS3 is the most widely used bluray player available. You cannot deny that.

1. the leak about walmart and china was already linked, but you didn't believe it so it doesn't count. :roll:

2. Casino Royale became one of the top "selling" bluray titles right after it was bundled with the ps3... coincidence... right? :roll:

the links were given in the past.  Your defense?  "i don't believe it"...

just wow...:roll:

Yet another hd28guy_basic self ownage thread.  These just aren't as fun anymore  :(

Sony and the PS3 aren't going anywhere. Especially with the huge titles that have yet to surface for PS3.

Oh and Blu-Ray has outsold HD-DVD month to month so far this year.

I guess if Blu-Ray is a disaster, HD-DVD must be the titantic  :lol:

[QUOTE="ramey70"]You should try asking him for a link regarding the announcement of the deal between HD-DVD and Walmart or one showing that Nielsen-Videoscan includes free bundled movies in sales figures. You'll be waiting all day.tango90101

1. the leak about walmart and china was already linked, but you didn't believe it so it doesn't count. :roll:

2. Casino Royale became one of the top "selling" bluray titles right after it was bundled with the ps3... coincidence... right? :roll:

the links were given in the past. Your defense? "i don't believe it"...

just wow...:roll:

 

 

1. Later announcements by Walmart reps refuted the deal. Until it's actually on the shelf or officially announced we should probably tap the breaks on stating it's done or for sure. Neither of us know what the true story is.

 

2. Casino Royale was bundled in the EU. Nielsen-Videoscan only accounts for US sales data.

This sounds like just another refinement or edition of the PS3, or maybe even a PSX type unit.  Not a new game system.  ramey70
