Rumor: New PlayStation 3 model less than 18 months away

Posted May 3rd 2007 6:31PM by Kevin Kelly



We already know that Ken Kutaragi had a vision for the next several PlayStations, but we didn't think they'd literally be right around the corner. Smarthouse claims that we'll be seeing the next version of Sony's game machine within 18 months, which seems way too soon to us. Upon closer reading, it is.

Despite Smarthouse's "it's a PlayStation 4!" it sounds more like the PS3.5 to us. According to the story, "The device will include the same chipset as the current PS3 but where it will differ from the current model is in the drive bay and in the attachment area. It will also include an extensive software suite for the managing of content being streamed to a TV or Hi Fi source."

Actually, it sounds a lot like the less than stellar PSX / Frankenstein system, set to make a return after a jolt of lightning that we like to call "poor PS3 sales."

Sounds like they'll be adding some more media centre oriented functions to the machine.

Kind of annoying for early adoptors to be honest if it's true. The first PSX was over priced and had functionality that most people weren't too interested in at the time, but today, when I know I'm probably not the only one who watches 90%+ of their programming on their PC, the PS3 is really just that little bit short of being a fantastic media centre and it's a pity if they're reserving that functionality for a new model rather than a firmware update.

Not that it's nothing Linux wouldn't cover for...

Sony are hardly releasing a ps 3.5 or ps 4 in 18months..only reason MS are releasing the Elite is to compete with ps3 so what would be the point of making the worlds powerfulest console even better? It makes absolutely no sense..

Nope, just about on par with the 'point' you seem to be trying to make though..
