This is just a rumor going around but apparently the PS4 will be released late 2013. I'm pretty skeptical about the release date rumor and about the rumor that it will support up to 4K resolutions, but if it does support 4K resolutions and it is being released next year, what are your thoughts?

Sony Computer Entertainment’s next-generation video game system is reportedly code-named Orbis and is projected to be very powerful. But the new console, which is expected to be out in 2013, will not play currently available games and will lose compatibility with used games in general.

Based on what is currently known about the PlayStation 4 is that it is based on a microprocessor and a graphics processing unit (GPU) designed by Advanced Micro Devices. Apparently, those chips will be powerful enough to support video games in 4096*2160 (4K) resolution and video games in stereo-3D mode in 1920*1080 (1080p) resolution, according to a report from Kotaku web-site.

Since there are not a lot of 4K screens at the moment, the next-generation PlayStation “Orbis” appears to be intended for games that will shine starting from several years down the road. Apparently, the PlayStation 4 may be an even more ambitious endeavor than the PlayStation 3 in case of capabilities. But at the same time it is expected that its development will not be as expensive as that of the PS3.

Yeah, they'll also apparently have ANTI-USED GAMES MEASURES.Because of this, you can never play used games ever again, seems like a pretty crappy system. Except for the 4K resolutions, I've never even heard of that before this article.

Who needs 4K res? Just up-converting 1080p sounds good enough. Maybe 2K, but 4? And how is it cheaper? Sounds like an exaggeration, like the Wii U was, and like it, I expect it to be amazing either way too.

But this is only a rumor. Maybe these sources just want publicity. Just like w/ the 3DS.

Because the definition of a good system is "can play used games?"

Better ring up 3DO and tell them they're back in business!
