If this is true, then that is quite awesome news, for those that don't know, a GPGPU, in a nutshell, basically does tasks reserved for a CPU aswell as normal GPU tasks.

I highly doubt that will be the controller, a periphery maybe! Like the move controller!

I left those pics out because they are just artist renditions and we've all seen hundreds of those before..

What excited me most about this was the possibility to play split screen on 2 different televisions. That is awesome.

For that feature you need the sony 3d tv with 2 glasses,i dont think ps4 has anything to do with this

Judging from these pictures it looks like it uses the same disc-sliding as ps3.

i was hoping they would ditch that because mine always stutters,it even wrecked a disc once.

If you look through all the pictures, it appears like the ps4 will have the ability to connect to multiple displays. Picture 9.

I am not sure what this all means, but it sounds good. I still don't see a new console arriving till 2014, but that is just me. As I have said before, consoles are typically announced a year before they are released.

Apparently they are patents or so thats what IGN said about them.
