PS4 codenamed ‘Orbis’
According to a Kotaku report, the PlayStation 4 has been codenamed ‘Orbis’. Orbis is Latin for the word ‘circle’. Collaborated with the new PSP model name ‘Vita’, the term ‘Orbis Vita’ translates to ‘The Circle of Life’. Such a name suggests that perhaps there will be a high level of integration combining the PS Vita and PlayStation 4.
Release Date
We are now five months into 2012 and with no information from Sony on the PlayStation 4′s existence, the rumors of the console being released this year are fading away. Since Sony first introduced the PlayStation, each generation of the console has been released in between six year intervals and with no announcement from Sony involving the PS4 it comes as a shock to many that they will not be releasing a new console this year.
Although Sony look like they’re going to break their pattern of release dates, we have to ask ourselves, can we really blame them? The PlayStation 3 is still going strong technology wise, with most of the Next Gen features such as Motion Censoring and 3 Dimension graphics already compatible with the console. It seems as though making a new console now would be unnecessary.
‘The word on the street’ is that the PlayStation 4 will be raring to go at around Christmas time next year. The next question is, “Who will be the first to have a next gen console to hit the shelves? Microsoft or Sony?” According to a post on VG247, Sony have stated they are ‘confident’ that they’ll release a console before Microsoft.
PS4 to use AMD Graphics Chip?
Rumor has it that Sony are getting ready to ditch nVidia for its largest rival AMD. On a profile piece of AMD’s new CEO ‘Rory Read’ created by Forbes, it claims that the manufacture of computer chips is making deals with Sony behind closed doors.
I was at a bro’s concert earlier in the year and a guy that was there saw me playing my Vita and inquired how much i enjoyed it. Then he informed me they are working on a ps4, but it wouldn’t be done for another couple years. I think he said something of like year 2015.
He did inform me that he does work for Sony.
