Again proving that the rumor mills on the internet are very accurate, Sony, today announced the PlayStation 4 gaming consol.  In the offical Sony event today, at about 6AM Manila time, the electronics giant unveiled the latest generation of its flagship gaming consol.

In keeping up with the connected world we live in today, Sony has made the PlayStation 4 very connected and is making a lot of free to play content available.

According to Sony, the PlayStation 4 will have a "supercharged PC architecture", meaning, it will be run by an X86 CPU, an enhanced PC GPU with GDDR5, 8GB of memory and a traditional hard disk drive.

As seen in most of the gadget blogs across the globe, even before the Sony event, the new DualShock 4 controller is now equipped with a touchpad.  Aside from the touchpad, the DualShock 4 controller is fully loaded with a headphone jack, a share button and a light bar that will be used for motion controls.

To prevent lag times when downloading games and content, the PlayStation 4 will feature a secondary custom chip dedicated for the downloading functions.

The Sony event is still running as I write this, so more news to come, stay tuned.
