As Sony stated at the PlayStation 4 conference, this is all about us, the gamers. Giving control to the gamers, letting them shape the ecosystem is what Sony's gunning for with the PlayStation 4. That vision is most apparent when you take a look at the DualShock 4's "Share" button and how it'll allow you to interact with your PlayStation 4.
While you're in a game - say inFAMOUS: Second Son for example - a simple tap of the DualShock 4's Share button will allow you to livestream your gameplay for others to view via the PlayStation 4's new User Interface, or capture and upload recent segments of gameplay. While this functionality isn't necessarily something unseen - OnLive has had it for a while - it's certainly shocking that it's coming to Sony's next-generation console.
Sony has confirmed that the PlayStation 4 will be powered by a custom 8-core AMD "Jaguar" x86-64 with integrated graphics APU and "next-generation" AMD Radeon graphics processor capable of driving 1.84 teraflops. As detailed at the event, it will come paired with 8GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory, making it competitive with most gaming-focused PCs on the market. As expected, the system will ship with a Blu-ray drive, built-in 80.211 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, as well as HDMI, Analog-AV, and optical digital output. Sony is giving I/O options a boost with the inclusion of USB 3.0 ports and a mysteriously vague "AUX" port. Each system will ship a "Mono Headset" for cross-game chat and other social features.
