» Tue Feb 26, 2013 4:04 am Sony has announced the PlayStation 4 and it will be arriving Holiday 2013. No price or system was shown, probably waiting until E3. It has 8GB of RAM.
They showed an amazing real time demo of Killzone: Shadow Fall and also announced Infamous: Second Son, Square will show a new Final Fantasy at E3, a PS4 version of Watch Dogs confirmed, Blizzard announced a partnership with Blizzard and they announced a cross generation (PS3/PS4) version of Diablo III, Bungie announced a cross generation version of Destiny with exclusive content for PlayStation, Capcom debuted their new engine named Pantha Rei showcasing their next gen game named Deep Down, Braid developer announced The Witness as a PS4 exclusive.
Amazing conference and the Next Generation is coming...prepare for the explosion.
Edit: Updated specs courtesy of Sony...
Sony has confirmed that the PlayStation 4 will be powered by a custom 8-core AMD "Jaguar" x86-64 with integrated graphics APU and "next-generation" AMD Radeon graphics processor capable of driving 1.84 teraflops. As detailed at the event, it will come paired with 8GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory, making it competitive with most gaming-focused PCs on the market. As expected, the system will ship with a Blu-ray drive, built-in 80.211 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, as well as HDMI, anolog-AV, and optical digital output. Sony is giving I/O options a boost with the inclusion of USB 3.0 ports and a mysteriously vague "AUX" port. Each system will ship a "Mono Headset" for cross-game chat and other social features.

I think Jim Sterling summed up how I feel about the PS4 pretty well. Form what Sony showed us, it feels more like an extension of current-gen consoles with prettier graphics and more social features. AKA, stuff that shouldn't be at the forefront of a console reveal. I'd link the Jimquistion show but there is some nasty language. You can just head on over to the http://www.escapistmagazine.com/ and look in the video section for it.
