VIDEOS: PlayStation 4 Revealed?
Two viral videos indicate that the PlayStation 4 is in the near future.
Could Sony be locked and loaded to show the PlayStation 4 next week at E3? Two viral videos have appeared on the YouTube account named SCELabs. At first it was assumed that the clips were fan-based--after all, this is the perfect time to get Sony fans pumped up about absolutely nothing. And to be honest, the two clips could very well be fake.
But it's interesting to point out that the subjects of both videos are wearing glasses. We immediately assumed that these viral clips could be nothing more that a means of promoting the current console's 3D support. After all, that aspect went official Thursday with the release of 3D games on the PlayStation Network.
However one video depicts Japanese Sony workers rushing through a building. They arrive to see a test subject--wearing special glasses--rolling on the floor, delirious. Apparently the test subject was playing an implied PlayStation 4 title and just went nuts.
The other video isn't quite as dreary, showing another test subject--this one also sporting glasses--enduring the overwhelming 3D capabilities of the PlayStation 4. It is this video that shoots down any possibilities that both are promoting the 3D aspects of the PS3--this one actually says "PS4" and "Now Testing" at the very end.
Again, it's quite possible that the videos are leaked teasers intended for E3. It doesn't mean that the consoles will actually appear, but rather that the next generation is definitely on the horizon (now that Sony is actually making $$ on the PS3). But what do you think? Are these videos fake, or could they be the real deal?

I thought they said that the PS3 will be around for a decade or so? lol. Imo, this is too soon
sooner or later it will come out
videos look like they were made to advertise the 3D feature coming soon to the PS3...
I don't understand how either of those videos even HINT at a new Playstation console. They appear to be for 3D rather than a PS4. Plus, why would they release a console when their current generation hasn't even been used to it's full potential?
It comes with a warning: fatal injury or drain bamage may occur from too much 3d excitement

Huh? Did you not watch the 2nd vid where at the end it says "ps4 now testing"?
Well every generation of Playstation represent a new media format: CD, DVD, Blueray. Unless they are going to full digital distribution I think PS3 will stick around. Besides, the hardware for PS3 is definitely not the limit factor in game quality in near future. And obviously, Sony is the last company that need to update their hardware.
looks like they are just going in introduce 3d to the ps3, i know there are a few games but this could be a big push towards it.
I think its just 3d for PS3.Although Just because they said ps3 will be around 10 years with support. That doesn't mean another new PS system could come out.Just like when PS3 came out.There still supported ps2 for a long time.Isn't there new games still popping up for it here and there?
Who wants a system for 10 years anyways. 5-6 is long enough for me.With continued support after the new consoles comes out is fine with me.
Lol, gran turismo hasn't yet been released, so there can't yet be a new console.
I'm sure sony has been tinkering and doing RandD for the PS4 since before the PS3 was launched, so it's not unreasonable to think they they are testing some hardware that could be part of the next PS4. These videos could have been released 2 years ago and they would probably be just as true as they are today. It's just something to keep the Sony name at the front of peoples minds.

If we could get PC developers to develop like they used to- Consoles would either upgrade or be grinded to pieces of dust.
Releasing a PS4 would make absolutely no sense. PS3 is just starting to hit its stride and I don't even know if they have made any money on it. This is total BS. Like the guy said above... its for 3D for PS3.
I read this to say that ps4 is being worked on and will be out eventually, and will fully support 3d. As in every single game.
I'm also willing to guess they're getting on the motion sensing bandwagon. I didn't really see a controller in the second video. Matter of fact, it seemed like they were intentionally not showing his left hand while playing.
I also expect that out of any console manufacturer, Sony is most likely to release an unnecessary new console with unripened technology. They always try to sell new consoles on "cutting edge" technology.
I'd also expect that any ps4 purchased within the first 6 months will not last a year without some sort of complication.
If it is the PS4 then you would think it would be cheaper than the PS3 when it first came out since they would undoubtedly use the cell processor and blueray player and just upgrade the ram and video card??
The ps3 having a ten year life cycle does NOT mean they have to wait ten years to release its sucessor. its not like they will scrap the ps3 the second a ps4 is released.
the PS2 had a 9 year life, but most of that was well into the life of the PS3.
i hope this is true, but i dont think it will be. i think it will be at least a year or two yet.
LOL, it doesn't matter if those were real or fake, they sure as hell made me laugh!
It's fake, the girl is not attractive enough to be in a real commercial.
If it's anything like the PS3 it's going to cost $599 and include everything including the kitchen sink. I just don't see a real reason besides upgrading the video performance to launch another console so soon given the old hardware was built years ahead to keep it a valid platform for both Sony and Microsoft.
If you ask me the next generation is going to be more marketing than actually performance benefits for actual gamers.
I dont know why this article is late and non complete as SCE ( Sony Computer Entertainment ) already gave an official statement of them having nothing to do at wall with those videos neither they were created by them. Which also means that this is nowhere near a PS4 product.
Apparently this is a fan/well made video for the PS3.
A new console does not make sence at the moment. There is no major technological developement for them to base it on. Not much has changed in the world since 2006. Yeah we have Digital Distribution more widespread now. But unless you live in Korea its not really a viable soloution. So unless they are unveiling the fact theyve actually gone and made a game system that puts you in some kind of mini-matrix(omg that would be awesome!)... its not the PS4.
Launch trailer??? Why "Now testing?" Sony wouldn't test it on the public... Would they?
Sony's probably going to try and tie in Gran Turismo 5 to the new system because (you guessed it) it runs like crap in 3d on the PS3

In the second 12 or so you can see the control on the monitor, a normal ps2-3 control
in the second 41, when they turn the tv off, you realized he is playing modern warfare 2, dont thinks that will be in ps4.
Sooo... PS4 is 3D and has full body motion capture?
im no PS fan but i have to say i liked the trailers, especially the nod to the 'Ring' type movies, this is how an advert should be, none of those stupid ps3 type adverts
God my ps3 overheats with RSX imagine if ps4 has FERMI it will morph into skynet takeover the world for 3 seconds overheat and crash lol.
BTW i do have a fermi card GTX470
it is nothing but ps3 with 3d facility
3D plus Natal-ish motion controls = win. DO IT SONY!
Also, 34 core Cell just for kicks.
Won't see a ps4 for a while.
