Sony announces a lighter PS4 and a new 1TB console
The 1TB PS4 Ultimate Player Edition launches before the end of June in Japan, and comes to Europe July 15. As for the 500GB model, it also launches in Japan at the end of June. Sony has not yet revealed a date for North America and Europe.
The new 500GB model is 10 percent lighter than the current version and uses 8 percent less energy. It will feature a matte finish on the HDD cover and comes in black and white.
The 1TB model will continue to use original console architecture, the platform holder told Eurogamer.
We’re still waiting on retailers to price the console and will update as soon as we know more.

Znait Meanwhile on PC we have had 1TB HDD's for years, oh and we also have had 2,3,4, and up to 8TB hard drives. Literally nothing new, just low end consoles milking money from their customers because they think PC is more expensive when it isnt. a $500 pc beats a $500 console.
you can't compare something like a pc to a console. this is honestly the greatest performance gap and all it does is beat the dead horse that pc is better (which is obvious). consoles aren't made to have all these top of the line parts to compare with pcs because the price would go up. people were complaining that the xbox one was too much with the $500 USD price tag at launch; do you think they'd be willing to spend over $1000 (USD) to get a system that would be closer to performing to the far superior pc? the answer is no. to address your point of "a $500 pc beats a $500 console." yes, this is absolutely true, but not everyone wants to play pc because they like the controller more than the keyboard (even though you can use a controller on pc), some people like the convenience, etc. it's just different strokes for different folks at the end of the day. some people would like to spend their entire college fund to get the highest fps, at the highest resolution, on the most demanding game; some people just want simplicity.
(i'm not claiming any of the above to be fact; it's just my opinion. just tired of people comparing the pc to a console. yall might as well be comparing an mma fighter to a kid who just got his first belt in karate. sure they both fight, but one is clearly better.)

GeekwadWW1 Why is Sony copying Xbox I hate company's that do that
Wouldn't consider it copying. Upgrading the hard drive and making a slim version of the original console is just something that happens gradually when technology becomes cheaper. Now, if they took the Preview Dash program, or made something similar to the Kinect that would be a form of copying. But, pretty soon there's going to be an ultra deluxe version that'll have a new face plate and makes a special noise when it boots up, and it'll cost you a hundred more bucks.
definitely isn't copying. if they didn't do this, xbox would have an advantage. sony can't just say "oh well, they did 1tb first, so we can't do it now. fiddlesticks, we gotta be smarter next time." businesses "copy" all the time.

I myself think this should of been the first PS4 they released at the same price they released the current one and then released the current model later on in the year as a cheaper option.

This is just how it's always been, a slim console has been released in many generations of consoles and obviously this will have improvements
