Sony PS4 to Focus on 3D

Ever since the PS4 was rumored in the market, there were many kinds of speculation regarding its design, looks as well as its capabilities. But, one of the biggest things in the PS4 was predicted to be presence of some amazing 3D capabilities.

Well, Sony isn't really going to let out a single word about PS4 for quite sometime for sure, but off-late they're were seen busy showcasing some fantabulous 3D game demos, which were nowhere even close to the best games even seen before.

Till date none of the gaming consoles have been able to harness the 3D capabilities to a good extent, and more interestingly, even Sony has not promised anything about the PS3 being able to play these 3D games in future either.

But, the experts are predicting that the Sony PS3 might receive some firmware updates pretty soon, which might allow the PS3 to allow the gamers to enjoy 3D games without really spending something substantial out of their pockets.

And, quite obviously, if the PS3 jumps into the 3D world after a magical firmware update, then the PS4 will definitely come with some unparalleled 3D capabilities for sure.

However, since Sony hasn't even confirmed anything officially even about the firmware update for the PS3 yet, things are pretty fishy. Some of the hardcore Playstation fans are speculating 3D integration in PS3 with a firmware upgrade to be Sony's trump card to re-enter the battle of supremacy in the gaming arena. Currently, the PS3 is almost down and out in comparison to its rivals X-Box 360 and Wii, but Sony looks to be preparing for something very promising.

In any case, Sony's demo on those cool 3D games has made it pretty clear that they'll surely let the gamers enjoy the same, though it might take sometime after all.

Hence, as of now, it is most likely that the PS4 would feature some of the amazing 3D gaming capabilities, but you may not really need to wait for the launch of the PS4, to enjoy these fascinating 3D games (most like PS3 will get firmware updates at some point of time).

PS4 and Power Consumption - Will Sony GO Green?

Just like the design and remote controller, power consumption is also one of the key points that are under thorough discussion these days. With "Go Green" being the buzzword today, critics expect that Sony might decide to join the Go Green revolution and market a completely Green product in form of the PS4, which will consume almost very low power levels.

Well, let aside very low power levels, something that Sony will have to ensure in PS4 would be substantial relief in terms of the power sucking capability of their next generation gaming console. Everyone is pretty well aware of the fact that the PS3 is such a big power sucker.

In fact, you might be shocked to hear that just leaving your PS3 switched on (yes, we're talking about the idle state) for a year would cost you a whooping $157! On the contrary, if you play it round the clock 365days a year, it'll just cost you about 8-10bucks more - what utter waste of energy, isn't it?

However, it will be pretty tough to manage the heavy upgrades in performance in an eco-friendly design, especially without an optical media in the storage drive (assuming that PS4 will operate online and games will be downloaded rather than being saved on DVD/Blu-Ray disks or hard drives).

Therefore, it can be only regarded as a sweet speculation, which looks so hard to be a reality; nevertheless Sony will have to badly ensure that the PS4 doesn't follow up in the line up of the most expensive electronic/electrical appliances to run, even in the stand-by or idle mode.

Microsoft's X-Box 360 isn't too good either as it would cost you around $125 per year even if you leave it idle, but the Nintendo's Wii is totally the opposite. It is estimated that Wii won't even cost about $15 per year, if left idle.

So, the next gen X-Box and Playstation gaming consoles will surely have to give a damn to the power consumption, if they want to stay competitive with the Wii2.

Furthermore, if Sony doesn't do anything about the power sucking nature of PS3 and double the performance level in PS4, it would be indeed scary to imagine how much power the PS4 will really suck, even if you leave it on for a couple of months and go on a tour.
