Reading online and it might come out in 2013/2014? I think that's too early. I'd go for 2016 or 2017. But anyways, what do you think the console will have? What will it be able to do? I can't really think of anything except better graphics, lol. I'd like it to be backwards compatible with the PS1,PS2, and it better be with the PS3 games. Would you be happy for a motion control and such? I wouldn't. When I play video games, I like to relax. Especially after workouts or long days, I just want to sit down, and enjoy the game.

Just wanna see some opinions what/how the PS4 should be.

I expec tthe new microsoft system around 2014 and the new sony system in 2015. As to what I expect? I expect it to have larger memory andprocessing speed. I also expect the push for online download to be all the more important. No actual physical copies. Which is a very bad idea. But that seems to be where the industry is going. claiming it may make the price lower and such. Which it wont. But maybe some companies will sell games for $5 cheaper for downloading online. I also expect the new sony system to be moe 3D ready.

2017? That would mean the PS3 will be on the market for 11 years, not a chance. The technology is already outdated by todays standard, in another 6 years it'll be completely obsolete. I know the visuals will be a big boost, along with the Playstation Network (finally having cross-game party chat). Sony have stated that they're working on virtual reality, I just hope something like that isn't the focus of their next console. I'm not a tech person so I have no idea about specs, as long as the new console can achieve better results than top of the range PCs today then I'll be happy. 60FPS is a must, along with at least 1080p.

Yep I agree with 2016 or 2017 that is about the 10 year life cycle they said they were doing, I'm in not much of a hurry for next-gen systems heck I still want to get an Xbox 360 or PSP yet yeah I'm probably a bit slow with these things, but not having a job doesn't help.

Sony will probably support the PS3 for 10 years but they will release another console before then, there's no way the PS3 will be their only console...not when technology is moving as fast as it is.

I expect them to try and pull another "PS2 after life" with PS3 and keep supporting it even after the PS4 is out, but only for a year or 2. After that they'll probably have big returns of games everyone loved from the PS2/PS3.(Ape escape 4, PLEEEEASE! Sony.)

Basically a "Super PS3" it would do everything the PS3 did but better, I don't think it'll be a super computer that warms your house in the winter though.:P

2016/2017????? You do realize that that's 10/11 years right? Smartphones today are more powerful than computers 10 years ago, how do you expect a console to hold up? 2012/2013 would be on time, 2014 would be late, 2016 would be a joke. The PS3 is starting to show its age right now, let alone 4-6 years from now.

I just hope that it has backwards compatibility, good RPGs and no crashes. That would do for me.

i expect the ps4 to release around 2014 or 2015 because sony said that they aren't in a hurry to make the ps4 (sony said that after seeing the wii-u) and i expect people to stop talking about the ps4 and enjoy what they got instead of looking so far into the future.

People are crazy thinking the PS3 will be on the market for a decade, I would expect it out in 2013. And I don't think that Sony will go for the better than PC angle, its a pointless endeavor, unless they make a console that supports constant hardware upgrades and that's just unfeasible. The PC will surpass it in less than a year, while Sony is stuck with a hugely expensive console. That's why I don't think the PS4 will be much of a leap over the PS3, they will go for cost effectiveness, a slight increase will allow for things like actual 1080, the Wii U is apparently capable of true 1080p.

I'd like to be able to use my current PSN account on PS4 and of course, backward compatibility for PS3 games! I do hope they'll leave the motion control in just like PS3, I wouldn't like motion control to be used excessively. I like how it is now, for example, shaking off enemies who are grabbing you, that is ok, and give options to turn the motion off/on.

And of course, like what 99% of people are expecting, MUCH better graphics! Like the movie, Avatar.

They used to call the PS3 a fridge. Paying homage to that, I expect the PS4 to have a built-in fridge.

Cost-effective move on the new console. I don't expect any crazy new super expensive part. What I want is probably what they are going to give, new Nvidia graphics chip probably based on "Maxwell", stronger processor which I believe they might go in house again becasue they are a "hardware" company. other than that 1080p/60fps, BC (not likely), new controller, stick with blu ray, better online store/support. I call ps4 unvieled E3 2012 as a teaser. E3 2013 as ready with demos to play with actual hardware. Holiday 2013 as selling date.

I expect it to be able to stream the game from my home to wherever i might be (my laptop usually).

Also:

BC (mandatory)

sweet graphix

lots of rpgs

easier to program for

cross platform gaming (pc)

hardcore integration with psvita (hopefully having huge discounts with the purchase of the same game for both systems)

Better integration with usb devices (can't believe my usb headset doesnt stream sound and only the mic from ps3...)

Better online system (don't own a XBOX so i don't really know why XBL is said to be better but whatever it is i hope Sony can make up a way to catch up to them)

Cross game chat

Great support for Keyboard and mouse so we can bring rts to ps3 :>!!

Huge HDD

And ofc lots of good exclusives and a decent price tag

This would make me very happy :P

BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY (i know its not always easy but i'm the kind of guy who gladly pay for it )

HOME INTEGRATION [ trophy room, intégrated game lobbies, free item from game completion]

INCLUDED peripherals WITH CONSOLE [MIC, MOVE ... if you want peripherals to work it needs to be sold with the console]

XMB INTEGRATION [having to leave gaming to check the store or stuff is annoying]

PORTABLE INTEGRATION [Vita is supposed to support connectivity with PS3 might as well make it follow up with ps4 ... right!!!]

Game REGION PORTABILITY and TRANSLATION (I'm tired of waiting for Japaneese games to cross the pond )

3D (Dunno what to make of it as of now )

I don't mind dematerialization as long as i don't need to pay a fortune to rebuy my game like it will be the case with my PSP.

Well, I want PS4 to be backwards compatible with PS1, PS2 and PS3 games. I also like to see lots of new and cool features and lots of new games for it.

Not expecting much... likely just be a PS3 with a better video card.
