I guess we'll see if this pans out. Kinda pointless to make up a rumor about a thinner PS4. It's not anything earth shattering.

Sony Is Reportedly Prepping Another “Thinner” PlayStation 4 Model

Within the past year Sony has released two new versions of their latest hardware – the sleek, low-cost PlayStation 4 Slim, and the beefed up PlayStation 4 Pro. Well, if a new report is to be believed, yet another new model may be about to join the ever-growing PS4 family.

Taiwanese newspaper Digitimes reports that Sony is currently prepping a “thinner” version of the PS4. A large portion of the world's electronics are manufactured in Taiwan, so its entirely likely Digitimes has an inside scoop. In the same article the newspaper delves into which companies are working on Microsoft's Project Scorpio, and mentions that Nintendo expects to ship 20 million Switch units this year.

Ultimately though, it's the revelation that yet another version of the PS4 is on the way that proves most interesting. Digitimes doesn't specify whether this thinner PS4 will be an even more streamlined version of the base PS4, or a pared-down version of the PS4 Pro. The latter seems more likely to be true. The PS4 Pro's “triple-decker” design is a bit clunky, and it would make sense for Sony to take it to Project Scorpio with a redesign and price cut for the Pro.

Another new PS4 model this soon may seem like too much, too fast, but Sony's revisions don't seem to be hurting the brand. Following last year's PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro double launch, Sony had their most lucrative quarter in PlayStation history. So, expect frequent tweaks and updates going forward.

Between the full reveal of Project Scorpio, a deeper look at what the Nintendo Switch is capable of, and the possible unveiling for a new PS4 model, it's going to be another busy E3 this year! Expect to hear more about all the new machines when the show kicks off on June 10.

Sony, this time, include an Ultra HD Blu-ray player, or don't bother!

It's game over for more than 100 GameStop retail locations.

The company announced earlier this week that it's shutting down 2% to 3% of its stores. That means as many as 190 stores could be on the chopping block.

GameStop currently operates more than 6,600 stores globally, including 4,400 in the United States. It's unclear how many domestic stores the Texas-based company plans to close.

The retailer of new and used video games has been on shaky ground for a while. Its stock has plummeted more than 31% over the past year.

On Thursday, the company said its overall sales fell 13.6% last quarter compared to a year prior.

At the core of GameStop's issues: It's not selling enough video games.CEO Paul Raines said in a statement Thursday that "the video game category was weak, particularly in the back half of 2016."

You are the only one :P

The boss fights look badass.

I had the season pass since DSIII released, so I'm just waiting for it to drop.

Also, the complete Dark Souls III experience releases on April 21st.

But PS3 pulled even with Xbox 360, worldwide. They both sold north of 85M.

PS5 coming in 2019 or 2020 (probably 2020).
