Rumor: PS4 Specs, new controller and account system leaked
The information, which was apparently provided by the same person who attempted to sell a pair of next gen Xbox development kits on eBay last year, reveals plans for a new controller and a new approach to user accounts.
The PS4 Dev Kit specs:
System Memory: 8GB
Video Memory: 2.2 GB
CPU: 4x Dual-Core AMD64 "Bulldozer" (8x cores)
GPU: AMD R10xx
Drive: Blu-Ray
HDD: 160GB
Audio Output: HDMI & Optical, 2.0, 5.1 & 7.1 channels
Ports: 4x USB 3.0, 2x Ethernet
Sony is working on a new controller for the PS4, although some developers are said to be working with existing DualShock 3 pads, as well as PS Move.
The new controller is thought to include the four traditional face buttons, two analogue sticks, shoulder triggers of older PlayStation pads, as well as vibration and "improved" motion-sensing. But it's also reported to feature a touch pad, like the one found on the back of the Vita, capable of recognizing two-point multi-touch.
The controller itself can apparently be "clicked" to make an additional input button, and also features a new "Share" button. While no one knows the purpose of this button, it is believed to be linked to a new account system.
According to sources, the PS4 will support "multi-user simultaneous logins", which, by the sound of it, will allow multiple users to be signed into accounts at the same time on a single console, which means they could all unlock Trophies while playing co-op games.

Vlif The xbox specs look better, i think i might get a PS4, but maybe like 3 or 4 years after it comes out like i did to the PS3
I don't see the point in getting a playstation if you have an xbox.

WisestJulietAR15CNTB The xbox spec seem better
I agree, and a lot of the people that bought a PS3 bought it because of Netflix streaming and Blu - Ray, and Xbox has both now :P
If you talking Xbox 360, then no, the 360 does not have a blu-ray player.
Netflix streaming is better on PS3 as well.
Not trying to start a console war, just saying.
Are you daft?
He stated the new Xbox has blu-ray, not the Xbox 360. He is stating that between the PS3 and the Xbox 360 people chose the PlayStation due to the media capabilities with streaming and blu-ray since Xbox 360 didn't support it. We're all aware that the Xbox 360 doesn't support blu-ray, but he's stating there will no longer be a difference as both the new Xbox, and the new PlayStation both have blu-ray support. Read next time, before trying to look smart.
He didn't say new Xbox or even Xbox 360. He just said Xbox.

He was talking about the next generation Xbox.
Well before I get the flame that is why I said "If you are talking Xbox 360".
All he said was that Xbox "has both now".
We don't even know if the next Xbox will even have a disk drive. Nothing is confirm.
Besides we're in 2013. Everyone should have a Blu-Ray player device by now anyways.
A Blu-Ray drive would be nice for games though.
