One great recession and a struggling gaming industry later, Sony&#8217;s hedging it&#8217;s next gen bets on a February 20th unveil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though at this point the name &#8220;Playstation 4&#8221; is nothing more than a placeholder; we do know that Sony has scrapped plans to remove the optical drive from its console and has refocused their attention to &#8220;social gaming.&#8221; <em>The Wall Street Journal<\/em>&nbsp;is also reporting that the new console will no longer support the IBM-Toshiba made Cell chip and has created compatibility issues with existing software. Hopefully this doesn&#8217;t mean that your hundreds of dollars investment in your video game library is all for naught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;re eagerly anticipating what Sony announces on the 20th and hope that their purchase of the short lived video game streaming company, <a title=\"Engadget - Sony buys Gaikai\" href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2012\/07\/02\/sony-buys-gaikai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gaikai<\/a>, is put to some good use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB10001424127887323701904578276672168365276.html\">The Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PS4: Unveiling in February!
