According to a report on Kotaku<\/a>\u00a0by a “reliable source”\u00a0the next PlayStation will be called Orbis and will be launched during the holiday season of 2013.<\/p>\n

The report mentions that the next PlayStation will support\u00a0an AMD x64 CPU and an AMD Southern Islands GPU and be able to display games\u00a0up to 4096×2160, as well 3D games in 1080p.<\/p>\n

The report also mentions that Sony will like Microsoft apparently stop the console form playing pre-owned games and stop all backwards\u00a0compatibility\u00a0with PS3 games. The in built anti used games device will make players who purchase pre-owned games pay an access fee for the full content.\u00a0The games are expected to be released\u00a0digitally\u00a0via the\u00a0PlayStation\u00a0Network and also on Blu-ray disks, but much like PC disks the Blu-rays will require\u00a0continuous\u00a0access to the PSN in order to start up and load them onto the console. No news of whether\u00a0serial numbers are needed was mentioned.<\/p>\n

The report also\u00a0mentions\u00a0that apparently developers have been\u00a0receiving the basic models of the Orbis since the beginning of this year. While \u00a0new and updated models are due to reach developers nearing the end of 2012 in order for them to develop high quality releases for the\u00a0following\u00a0holiday season.<\/p>\n

Obviously this is all\u00a0speculation\u00a0and Sony will no doubt refuse to comment, but if true the next generation could see the death of pre-owned but maybe not the push to digital-only games that people had been expecting. As always we will keep you informed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
