PlayStation 4
The PlayStation 4 has eight person chat rooms that stay connected no matter what each of those eight party members is doing on their own PS4, This technically means groups can jump from game to game whenever need be, keeping friends together in the process. That eight person limitation is only a constraint of individual chat lobbies. If you have enough friends multiple lobbies are an option. If you are live broadcasting, and you choose to take a break, why not simply tell your viewers and put them in standby mode? When you click the PlayStation button it brings you back to the systems dashboard, which cuts the broadcast stream and puts up a blue PlayStation standby screen to viewers with a dancing set of triangle/X/O/square buttons.
The PlayStation 4 is a sharp-cornered, ebony parallelogram that is at least 11 inches wide by 2 inches tall by 12 inches deep and weighs 6 pounds. The system works either horizontally or vertically. The original shaped PlayStation 3, was nearly 13 inches wide by 4 inches tall by 11 inches deep and weighed 11 pounds which weigh about twice as much as the PlayStation 4. The power supply remains inside the machine. When it’s placed in the open, the system warms only a little when playing games, its broad rear-panel ventilation grid and cleverly thought outside grilles allowing the system to transfer heat from the internal parts such that the fans will always remain whisper-quiet in nearly all circumstances.
The PlayStation will have 16 games when it is released which is an okay amount of games. The DualShock 4 controller for the PlayStation 4 features a touchpad to add a new way to control games. It also contains a speaker and a headset jack into the controller, and a four-color light bar displays which player is which controller such as who is player one and player two. The controller can also give other information based on the action. A dedicated Share button on the gamepad also lets players stream or record their games on the PlayStation 4. Fortunately the system already with the internal 500 GB of ram will also include A USB 3.0 data external storage as well.
