PlayStation 4

The PlayStation 4 is a home video game console from Sony Computer Entertainment.
Announced as the successor to the PlayStation 3 during a press conference on 20 February
2013, it was launched on 15 November 2013 in North America. It competes
with Nintendo's Wii U and Microsoft's Xbox One. Sony calls the PlayStation 4 "the world's
most powerful console"] and, speaking to Edge magazine, numerous game developers
described the performance difference between the PS4 and Xbox One as "'significant' and
'obvious'".[18]
The console enables interactivity with other services and devices through the following
methods: PlayStation Now, a cloud-based gaming service that offers streaming video game
content; PlayStation App, designed to enhance gameplay by
using smartphones and tablets as a second screen; and PlayStation Vita's design for playing
a majority of PlayStation 4 games through wireless Remote Play.

Technical specifications:
The PlayStation 4 uses a processor developed by AMD in cooperation with Sony. It
combines a central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU), as well as
other components such as a memory controller and video decoder. The CPU consists of
two quad-core Jaguar modules totaling 8 x86-64 cores. The GPU consists of 18 compute
units to produce a theoretical peak performance of 1.84 TFLOPS.

Controller:
DualShock 4 is the PlayStation 4's primary controller. Similar to the DualShock 3, it connects
to the console via Bluetooth 2.1+EDR. The DualShock 3, however, is not compatible with the
PS4. The DualShock 4 is equipped with several new features, including a built-in two-point
capacitative touch pad on the front of the controller, which is clickable.

User interface:
The PlayStation 4 introduces a new customizable interface titled PlayStation Dynamic Menu.
A user profile shows full name, recent activity, and other details in addition to
unlocked Trophies. The home screen features real time content from online friends. The
"What's new" activity feed includes shared media, popular games and other
notifications. Services from third-party vendors, such as Netflix and Amazon Instant Video,
are also accessible within the new interface.
