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.

I think it will have a bigger HDD. 160GB just is not going to be big enough considering the gaming industry is moving towards downloading games and add-on content is becoming a must for most gamers.

This looks actually quite good, I might seriously buy one of these and switch from the Xbox 360 if it as good as it looks.
