While Sony's presentation earlier today gave us an idea of what we could expect in the PlayStation 4, we didn't know exactly what it could do. Sony have since sent out a press release however, giving us the exact specifications of the console - and it's looking pretty good.

You can check them out however, after you watch the video embedded below - Ubisoft showed a live demo of Watchdogs at the event, giving us an even better look at the outstanding looking game. You can also check it out in our videos library - and while you're there you can also check out Bungie's announcement of Destiny on the PS4. It's light on details, but it still looks pretty neat. Keep checking the videos library - more videos will be uploaded throughout the day and don't forget to check on past the Watchdogs trailer below to see the PS4's specifications!

Why would you go to a PC-like GPU to make it easier for developers and then use AMD? From what I gather their cards are a nightmare for programmers.

The Xbox 360 already uses ATI hardware which was bought by AMD.

Yeah it all comes down to business deals. At least on the PS4 we won't have to deal with Catalyst lol

The only reason AMD is still in business? Lol

So looks like I'm going to have to keep my PS3 until I finish all my games? Le sigh.

I have 2 PS3's, so I will sell/trade one to help pay for my PS4 and keep the other with all my favorite games, Mass Effect's, Uncharted's, + all the games my kids play..

I can't help but notice that price is still missing... I wouldn't be shocked if this made people move away from the idea slightly.
