I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this is just a release candidate.

That is because its a leak.

Leakers can't screenshot?

[soaringchicken]

Yay more things for console peasants to waste their money on!

If the computer in the photos is a company-owned computer, network and/or  user/admin policies can either straight prohibit offloading files or alert network administrators of it happening.  Taking a photo with a camera/phone is the workaround.

Looks very iffy to me. Even if its only a concept image its a fairly badly done one. Could just be my view but the angles of the sides don't make much sense, the front angles forward and the side angles inward, but if the side is perfectly rectangular (as the image with stand indicates) then such angles are impossible.

 

Also its way too small, unless they have ditched the internal power supply, the disk drive and possibly the HDD I don't see such as design possible.

Looks better than the normal PS4

- Those angles don't make sense

- There are so many leaks all of the time that I've taken to assuming they're BS until there's good reason to think otherwise

- It's too small, and if it was that small you'd place the optical drive to the side rather than the middle so the components would actually fit

- Those angles don't make sense

I still do, and I think they're great for gaming still, just not as pwerful and controllers aren't that great for most genres.

Well then by all means, take your anti-console attitude some where else.

You'd be welcome if you weren't an asshole troll about it. Contribute to the conversation in a helpful way or gtfo.

That was my gut reaction too. I think it looks cool though.

Well it's true. If you already have a PS4, some people will still buy another one. LOl.

So? It's their money.

[flibberdipper]

Eh. At least they had Yosemite.

I appreciate the simplistic ease of use in consoles, they provide an easy way for people to play games together without the hassle of building a computer. I am by no means bias towards PC's and I have positive\negative opinions on both

There isn't anything impossible about the angles they are the same as the ps4, the disc drive right side is flat, the whole console leans back

 

Now i do think this is fake, and id be dissapointed in Playstation switching back to physical buttons again after they went to capacitive button for the launch of the PS3&4 but took them out of the 3

 

I also dont see them pulling that much heat out of the console at this time, but i do imagine there will be a new model maybe christmas 2016 on 20nm proc

 

the other problem is people would use the console sideways if the disc was on the right side of it

In the first image there is a slant on the bottom side where all the logos are (which you'd assume they'd want visible) but then the power buttons are sideways. That doesn't make sense. Then in the next image they show it upright with what now looks like a square front when you compare it to the current PS4. Also there's a logo on it which isn't present at all in the first image which would mean it's the "bottom" of the first image that's facing us in the second. So not only is the disk side on the top (and impossibly in the middle) but looking at it the buttons would be BEHIND the disk tray and the labels would be upside down.

 

I'm not saying that there won't be a smaller revision at some point, I think it's inevitable. What I'm saying is that these images are BS. They don't make sense from a usability perspective, the two images don't particularly make sense together and technically it doesn't make sense. I just don't see them making a revision that's a pain to use and has basically no internal space. This is just some art student playing around in Maya or something similar.

I guarantee this is fake, but there is nothing impossible about the render besides size volume constraints

 

In the first image there is a slant on the bottom side where all the logos are

This is the front, opposite the side where all the cables come out, the front of the PS4 is also slanted the same

 

 Then in the next image they show it upright with what now looks like a square front when you compare it to the current PS4. 

This is the top view next to the original PS4 top

 

 Also there's a logo on it which isn't present at all in the first image which would mean it's the "bottom" of the first image that's facing us

I saw that as well and i think thats just an oversight for what i can tell, but i don't really think that would reason that the console should be upside down because of it, i just think the first render didn't include it because its focusing on the front and right side, 

 

So not only is the disk side on the top (and impossibly in the middle)

It would be on the top if you put it sideways like that, but why would it be impossible to be in the middle?

it would basically be an upright wii

For a start I've already explained what I meant by "impossibly in the middle". With the Wii and Wii U they achieve a similar small size by using a slim optical drive which is right up against the top edge, taking up only half of the space. This allows them to put a fair amount of the PCB underneath the optical drive. And if you actually look at it that's a hell of a lot of space, over a quarter of the whole available space. If you're trying to get the thing as small as possible then you're not going to just give that up.

When Microsoft made their slim 360 their solution was different again, they sat what was basically a full sized optical drive on one side with the rest of the components on the other. Which also works. In this faked mockup they have the optical drive dead in the middle of the unit which means there wouldn't be much space at all for the rest of the components. With the space they have left there they couldn't fit any PCB around the optical drive and there's not much other room in there. Thus it's "impossibly in the middle".

 

Also again, I'm not saying the slants are impossible but the fact that they're there and in those locations does say something about how it's intended to be setup. This unit would, as you said, have the cables coming out the back where that slant is. It has to. Which means that it would be impractical to sit this faked mockup in any position other than vertical. If you sat it flat then you'd have the optical drive facing forwards and the cables running out the side. Which is stupid given how most people's TV cabinets work. If you had it standing you'd HAVE to stand it on one of the flat parts which means that the optical drive would be at the top as a dust catcher. What's more because of the fact that there's no logo on the side shown in the first image the buttons would have to be BEHIND the optical drive. Meaning you'd have to reach behind where the disk ejects to eject the disk. Bad design all round.

 

And yes, whoever made this probably forgot to put the logo in the first image. Which is why it's much, much more likely to be a fake. A fact which we both agree on which makes me wonder why you're trying to argue with me at all about this.
