It looks like we’ll have another stonking games hardware battle coming soon, with Sony’s PS4 expected to arrive as early as spring of 2014 — a few months after Microsoft’s next console appears at the end of 2013.
The rumours, coming from news site SemiAccurate, claim Sony’s PS4 is now working under the development name Thebes, having ditched the Orbis name it was previously using. The machine should arrive running a CPU and GPU made by struggling PC tech firm AMD, with a 28nm die size.
It might not happen in the spring, though. Given the new nature of the chipset, manufacturing may not be up to speed before autumn of 2014, which would then give Microsoft a full year head start in the next-next-gen console battles. [SemiAccurate via CVG]

Is it me, or does that controller look ridiculously dated now. I remember thinking how awesome it would have been to have that controller.
It looks like a double ended dildo…
I can’t imagine it getting played as a controller while used as one tho…….no, actually I can and its great.
Aye, I doubt this would be an actual ps4 controller.
You were the only one then. As the hatred to that monstrosity of a controller was the reason it got ditched.
but just imagine popping it up your bum with the other end wrapping around to your gouche and setting it to rumble
you or your gf if your male have an unusual amount of space between your “gouche” and bum…..
what is I was talking about my boyfriends arse and gooche area.
Gooche! Lol, when i was a youngun it was your ‘Gwillem’ or your ‘Barse’ but Gooche it will forever be!
I thought it was spelt “gooch” which leads to several humorous moments whenever I spot the Gooch Group cleaning van driving around.
And thats a whole new meaning to the recently coined Lawton Procedure!
Really can’t wait to play “Modern Warfare 4″, “Respawn Entertainment’s next Sci-Fi game” and possibly “Far Cry 4 John McAfee” on PS4, yay!
Funny, ’cause one of the characters in FC3 looks exactly the same as John McAfee
That controller could satisfy a woman.
Giggity.
So the PS4 is set to arrive “a few months after Microsoft’s next console appears”.
Sounds like Sony haven’t learnt anything from the PS3 launch…
True
Does it matter when a console is released?
Not hugely, no. The time of release does not dictate it’s success. It makes sense for them to have it released afterwards, as if they released it beforehand, it would’ve been a rushed effort, and been under less design time than the previous.
Why rush something and cock it up, when you can take your time with a console that’s fine currently, and will continue to be fine even after the next Xbox comes out?
