Rumor: SCEI Released Rough PlayStation4 Specs?

Goto Hiroshige has received PSX4 spec info from Japanese developer sources who received preliminary spec from SCEI for developer feedback(whom Goto refuses to name due to NDA).

- SCEI has sent rough PSX4 spec to 3rd party developers for feed back. Based on the description, PSX4 is a Wii-tized PSX3, no more than 2X as powerful.
- SCEI wants to beat Xbox 3 to launch. 2011 is the deadline, or sooner.
- SCEI pulled all its engineers from IBM Texas, and there is no new CELL architecture being developed. PSX4 will use same CELL architecture with improvements.
- SCEI will dump XDR and use standard JEDEC memory type(GDDR3/DDR3) for main memory.

As I mentioned elsewhere, this sounds more like a re-engineered PS3 than PS4. Think PSP 1000 -> 2000 -> 3000. This is PS3's 2000. The shift in the memory is probably to get the price down so that Sony can make money on the PS3 for a change.

meh, PS3 is still crap.
