Sony Confirms PS4

Vice President of Technology for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, Paul Holman confirmed that there will be a PlayStation 4, and that it would be released sometime after 2010 in an interview with SmartHouse.

"To say that there will be no PS4 because of a management change is a bit far fetched" he said.

Until the release of the PlayStation 4, there will be several upgrades for the PS3.

Good news for anyone interested. The competition between rivals will continue on for many years to come!

Although to be honest id rather they just push on with the PS3 worldwide release and get the damn thing out over here! haha

Wonder how this topic will turn out though :whistle:

PS4? Duh. What I find interesting is how they openly say PS3 will receive 'upgrades.' When they say it like that, it sounds like more than just rearranging the insides to cut costs or giving it a new paint job. Think I'll definitely wait until Xmas 2007 to get mine......

isn't that a bit fast...considering that they haven't got the PS3 out everywhere. To me it shows they realise there is something wrong with the PS3, but that may just be me.

It says after 2010 in the article so I'm guessing that could mean any date up to something reasonable like 2014ish?

Basically its just confirmation that there will be a PS4 just now. I'm sure Sony doesn't even know when to release it just yet.

nope it's not a bit fast at all... Since companies always start there next console right after there release newest console... Since it will take at least 4 years or more before they finish doing research etc for the next one..

It's just like microsoft already confirming there next console.. An we might find out next year about nintendo confirming there next one for around the same time frame..

PS3 upgrades?

As in what, upgraded hardware?

Thats gonna suck for people who own PS3s with different hardware configurations.

i do think the PS3 is a great system from a powerhouse standpoint.. the 360 is nowheres near the power of the PS3.

Yawn they are more evenly matched in hardware than the xbox and ps2 were.

I'm thinking more official hard drive upgrades, new colours and things like that. Or slim PS3, we could do with one of them :laugh:

It better be anyway! :shiftyninja:

It can be taken either way. I don't think they will change the hardware configuration that much since as you say it will end up annoying early adopters - Look at the 360 and the rumors about a bigger hard disk. I think the upgrades refer to firmware updates.

Give the PS3 another 4-5 years and Sony will probably release a new version PS3 but knowing Sony and its ability of shrinking devices down its probably going to be 1/4 of the size of the current PS3.

^ wow you guys are funny.

If you read about you would know there was rumours about there being no PS after the PS3 (due to the bad PS3 launch and other things). This article dispels that.

and after those rumors came out some Sony guy said there would be a PS4. Doesn't mean much really, it just seems like damage control. At any moment, if there actually is a real plan, it can get cancelled. Obviously Sony won't let go of a franchise like the PS so quickly. They might make mistakes like Nintendo did after ruling the console market, but look at the Wii now.

I found an old thread with the info: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...9683&hl=ps4

    • This makes me think of Dune for some reason.
    • I'm too old to return to the "good old days" when I was installing custom ROMs and tinkering with my devices - now I just want to turn it on and use it. I've read that banking and payment apps work on Murena /e/OS (I'll have to check the ones I use) and I also really want to support Fairphone 😉

    • NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe by Fiza Ali NVIDIA has announced that 35 AI high-performance computing (HPC) supercomputers are planned to open throughout Europe this year. This marks what the company describes as the largest single-year expansion of AI infrastructure in the history of the continent. These new systems, unveiled at ISC High Performance 2026, will be placed at a number of national supercomputing centres, AI factories, and research institutes to provide advanced computing resources to more than three million researchers. Describing AI, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, "AI is the new instrument of science, and Europe is building the infrastructure to put it in the hands of millions of researchers." Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell and Hopper architectures, the new systems will support research in climate science, healthcare, clean energy, quantum computing, and other scientific fields. Among the major projects are the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum 5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI's Blue Swan platform in Germany, Italy's IT4LIA AI factory, Germany's HammerHAI project, and Sweden's Mimer AI Factory. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center plans to expand MareNostrum 5 with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and GB200 NVL4 systems. In total, the BSC expects to deliver up to 20 exaflops of AI training performance and 33 exaflops of AI inference performance. This increased computational capability will support research efforts related to climate modelling, biotechnology, energy systems, etc. Furthermore, as part of the IT4LIA project, more than 8,000 GPUs, each based on NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL4 architecture, will be used in Italy. This represents one of the largest AI factory initiatives announced to date. Additionally, the Blue Swan platform from BavariaAI will include about 1,000 GPUs to help develop multimodal AI models for use in the medical field, robotics, and various areas of scientific research. NVIDIA also emphasized in the announcement how rapidly growth of accelerated computing usage is taking place within both energy and climate-related research. The company said Siemens Energy uses NVIDIA-powered technologies to significantly accelerate the process of designing and simulating hydrogen-capable gas turbines. Using those same acceleration technologies, Siemens was able to reduce simulation time by up to 77 percent. The company also highlighted several quantum computing initiatives across Europe. CINECA, EuroHPC, and Pasqal are integrating a quantum processing unit into Italy's CINECA supercomputing centre using NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform. Meanwhile, researchers at Germany's Julich Supercomputing Centre recently simulated a universal 50-qubit quantum computer on the JUPITER supercomputer. The announcement demonstrates Europe's continued commitment to building out its infrastructure supporting AI and supercomputing as governments, research organizations, and technology companies compete to build out their respective computing capacities and secure their positions in advanced scientific research.
