I think the graphics on the ps3 are great. i'm in no need to upgrade for quite some time. just keep up some awesome titles and i'm happy. Dark souls, Gt5 and the uncharted series are quite incredible. Bring out the PS4 around 2018. i'll be ready then. Cheers Sony. Sure the graphics will b better next generation. fair call.

The next PS4 release will I believe have to have a life of 15 years and not only be a game console but the media hub for the home. Consequently emerging technologies are too immature to adopt. However given a year this should all change especially in the the processor and graphic engine areas. I believe the processor will be based around the CELL and support dual memory buses. One for the Games Console element and one for the Media Hub. The graphic engine will have to support 3D digital HD and that tech is new. It needs a field run before adopting into a top end games console. Sony produces the digital elements for the 4k cinema. I wouldn't be supprised if this technology found it's way into the PS4. In addition I wouldn't I think the PS4 will come with a Ethernet over mains interface for streaming. Oh.. And one thought with the new development tools cross-compiling shouldn't be an issue if the target hardware has enough processing power. The tools developed for CELL should allow software developed for the standard linear processors to be ported more easily. Of course it will not be efficient but that shouldn't matter with the processing power of the CELL in the PS4. Software developed for the PS4 may be difficult to port to other games consoles but would in essense will so the true power of the console.
