For the lazy... Rumor: Sony's Next PlayStation Coming in 2013, Will Limit Used Games The successor to Sony's PlayStation 3 is code named Orbis and it's coming in time for the holidays next year, according to a report from gaming site Kotaku. The next-generation game console won't be play PS3 games, Kotaku reported Friday, citing unnamed sources. And, as is also rumored with Microsoft's follow-up to the Xbox 360, Sony is working on a way to make its next console either reject used games or possibly limit their playability unless buyers of a pre-owned game "pay a fee to unlock/register the full game." The Xbox 360's successor, reportedly code named Durango, is also expected to arrive towards the end of 2013. Given the way rumors are shaping up about specs and features for the next-gen consoles from Microsoft and Sony, and the fact that Nintendo's Wii U will already have been on the market for a year, we could be headed for quite the battle for gamers' hearts, minds, and dollars in the second half of next year. Nintendo's follow-up to the Wii is scheduled for a late 2012 release and it'll come with a controller that has a touch screen. Microsoft's next console is also rumored to have a touch screen controller , so it will be interesting to see how Sony responds if both of its chief rivals go that route. If the rumors are correct, a big winner in the console sweepstakes is Advanced Micro Devices. AMD's Radeon graphics have already been confirmed for the Wii U and it's been reported that the next Xbox will sport a chipset that features a Power PC central processor from IBM and a Radeon HD 7000-series GPU from AMD. Now Kotaku reports that AMD's "Southern Islands" GPUs will also provide the graphics horsepower in the next PlayStation. The so-called Orbis console will also sport an AMD CPU, according to the site, which would give the chip maker the full processor platform in Sony's game system. The Wii U will have a custom Power PC CPU from IBM. Sony hasn't confirmed any of the details related by Kotaku. Microsoft has been similarly tight-lipped about its next-gen console plans, but the company did state recently that, "2012 is all about Xbox 360," and revealed that it wouldn't be bringing any new game console hardware to the E3 show in June. |

Well according to Micheal Pachter, Sony WON'T block used games. He goes on to say that if they(or MS) do so, Gamestop may not carry the console since they would be one of the biggest in profit loss. http://www.gamespot.com/news/sony-wont-block-used-games-says-analyst-6369034 Edited by S_Pac316, Mar 31 2012, 09:43 PM.
