NGP downgradat. PlayStation 4 confirmat.
Conform site-ului francez 01.net, cel care a dezvaluit hardware-ul consolei NGP inainte ca aceasta sa fie anuntata oficial, se pare ca Sony a decis sa reduca din costurile de productie ale noii console portabile. Decizia a fost luata pentru a ajunge la un pret competitiv cu Nintendo 3DS (250 EUR). Cei de la 01.net sustin ca NGP-ul va avea in final doar 256MB RAM si 128MB pentru GPU (valori injumatatite practic). Totodata, memoria de 16GB ar putea fi inlocuita de o solutie de stocare externa (ca la PSP). Prin urmare, NGP-ul nu mai este atat de high tech in comparatie cu competitorii de pe piata. Nici macar cu smartphone-urile actuale...
Intre timp, conform PlayStation 4 development 'already underway' - Sony - ComputerAndVideoGames.com, Masaru Kato (Sony EVP & chief financial officer) a confirmat ca este in lucru o noua consola (cel mai probabil PlayStation 4).

The head of Sony's global games development team, Shuhei Yoshida, said
last year that the firm expects Microsoft and Nintendo to launch their 'next-gen' home systems before the new PlayStation arrives on the market.
"Naturally, in my opinion, Microsoft will make the first move," he said. "Or, because Nintendo's approach was not to upgrade much on its basic hardware - Wii doesn't even support HD resolution - so they might be the first to move.
"Probably we should watch these companies, in my opinion. Because PS3 was later than Xbox, and is more powerful, so it has a longer lifespan."
