Following up on news broken by Kotaku on Sony’s next PlayStation, IGN is reporting that the console codenamed Orbis will use two AMD chips for graphics and processing.
Sony is working on a new PlayStation machine. According to the story Kotaku broke, it’s called Orbis. That could be a codename — it also might be the console’s final name.
Oh boy. Once people had got past the news we’d heard about the next PlayStation Orbis’ specs and release date, they got real angry about the fact it’s likely to include some measure of “anti-used games” technology. Just like the next Xbox console.
The design firm Coque Design may have worked on illustrations for certain features of the next PlayStation, according to pictures a tipster spotted on its website today.
For the PlayStation 3, when it came to the console’s graphics, Sony partnered with Nvidia. According to a report on Forbes, though, for the PlayStation 4, Sony is partnering with Nvidia’s arch-rival AMD instead.
Brace yourselves, readers! A company whose whole business plan depends on consoles going away says that one of the big platform holders miht be getting out of the hardware business altogether.
