Kotaku reported today that inside sources have given some information on Playstation’s next console. For starters the rumor says it will be called “Orbis”, judging by the marketing nightmare associated with a goofy word like that I’m betting it’s a code name. If it is a name, we can spend hours debating the meaning, Urban Dictionary tells us that Orbis is slang for “Awesome, really cool, rad”. So technically they’re working on codename rad right now.
The other information says the next system is being prepped for a Holiday 2013 release and will include an AMD x64 CPU, and the AMD Southern Islands GPU. Both are going to be included in high end PC cards next year and would lead to an incredible experience. The devices are rumored to be able to run at a resolution of 4096X2160, and will deliver 3d at 1080p (right now the playstation does 3d at 720.)
What do you folks think? Time to save those pennies?
