PS4 Teaser Confirmed As Fake, Still Worth A Look
It fooled a lot of people due to its high production value but as Sony representative Al de Leon confirmed to GamesRadar, what you see here "isn't from SCE (Sony Computer Entertainment)."
Still, it's worth a look. This is actually the second of two apparently fake PlayStation 4 teaser videos (scroll down at the previous link to view the first), and they're both quite interesting. We're not entirely sure what's happening in the trailer below but it obviously has something to do with 3D, and in fact, PS4 may be an allusion to the combination of their new PlayStation Move and 3D technologies. Either way, it's one of those things that if it showed up on TV as a commercial, you'd probably watch it.
Sony has always said the PS3 would have a ten-year lifespan, as its predecessor did. But remember, they released the PS3 about six years into the PS2's lifespan - and of course, the PS2 continued on - and we are currently in the PS3's fourth year. Therefore, it wouldn't be entirely out of the realm of possibility to hear whispers of the PS4 right now...

Granted there is no doubt in my mind that they are already planning the PS4 but even if they did have something ready it would be unwise to announce it.
I say this because it would drive consumers who were thinking of getting the PS3 to maybe wait until a PS4 was released.
And I agree with you about how professional it looks, though I'm not sure about the woman either.
One possible explanation is maybe the person who leaked it just edited it at the end to say PS4... probably not that likely but hey just brainstorming over here.
EDIT: PS4 looks sexy when it's typed.

EDIT: Also, does anyone remember the old PS9 commercials? Those were slick as hell, and it seems like we might reach that potential before the console has to have a 9 at the end of it.

Nice thinking there. So are you saying maybe they leaked it to scare Microsoft into thinking they have something in the works and they are hoping Microsoft falls for their bluff? Maybe cause them to prematurely announce something that isn't completely ready to be demonstrated?

This is an unlikely scenario but whatev. It could just be some fan made videos and speculation or it might be like the old PS9 commercials. Not really what they are planing in the slightest but something fun to throw out there.

Now what it could be is an early leak, and Sony doesn't want to acknowledge that it's real (not like that would be a first..) before their big unveil at some upcoming big tradeshow :-)
About the PS4 itself though, I could definitely go for an announcement about it right about now! A new console that can handle full 1080p HD in all games, even more powerful graphics (obviously), hopefully a lot more onboard memory this time (!) and a 2nd gen blu-ray player, besides if they announce it now it's not going to be out for another year or two anyway...

If a few guys can get together and spend about $150 to send a camera into space, take pictures, and then get it back, I'm sure some college kids could make a video like this, really wouldn't take much.
Here's a link if you didn't hear about that.

Also, you have too remember 1 very important thing here.
Although Sony has given their consoles a 10 year lifespan, the history of the Playstation's are that Sony has also given us a NEW NUMBERED console within the first 5 years of that same 10 year lifespan too.
So don't be too surprised to see a PS 4 coming out soon, maybe by early 2012 either.

On the other hand they didn't reveal anything new and a crew of about six-ten people working on a tight schedule determined to make a fake would be able to pull it off. However, one kid in his basement? no way.
seems a bit too fishy here.. Is Sony hiding something??

If either company came out with a system in less than 4 years I might not be there at launch for the first time.

sony have done allot of those types of videos before, anyone remember the playstation 6 video?
or the german army ps3 videos, it was a video cant remember specifics but it had German soldiers wounded on beds in surgery.
what that has to do with the ps3 i have no idea!!!
it would of been a great advertisement though!
sony have always said ps3 does everything so in a way there hinting we dont need a ps4, since ps3 does do everything.
even removing features WE PAID FOR!!!!!
no, i will not let it go, i will NEVER! forgive them.

Anyway, as far as the PS4, ray tracing in real time. Everything that the PS3 has, plus more memory, backwards compatability for EVERYTHING, a more powerful Cell (they can't just throw it away after they spent so much time developing it.), and a few other things that I'm too tired to think of right now.
As for release schedule? Microsoft came out last year some time and said the 360 will have a 10-year lifecycle. I called bs then, and I do so again now. The Pheon-X will release late 2011 - mid 2012, with the PS4 being a mid-life console for it, being released in 2014. It only makes sense, there being a potential three year gap between them, thus causing consumers to get antsy about wanting something new. Sony releases a new beast, and the Box falls to the wayside, thus causing M$ to either bow out, or rush a new console to compete. Maybe I'm overthinking all of this, but that would own.
Peace.

What I'm really curious about is that the actors in these PS4 teasers really look like actual professional actors. They both seem familiar to me. The last time I check, every professional actors gets paid a lot, even a small footage like this.

I wouldn't be surprised if we get PS4 details at next year's E3 or TGS for a potential 2011 Winter holiday launch. Though, I'm banking on 2012.
