PlayStation 4 concept goes green with eco-friendly design

PlayStation 4 Concept

To bring about anticipation among users, Yanko Design has showcased yet another conceptual design and this time it’s for the far-fetched PlayStation 4. The console is presumed to sport a stylish design while 60% of the material is recyclable.

Utilizing zero watts in standby mode, the device is said to be equipped with the Eco Restart function in which restarting the device will load the game to its saved state just as it was before the restart. Also, dismissing the need for a full startup, the console will save energy and prolong its life span. Furthermore, the power will automatically shut off after thirty minutes of playing and will draw energy from its rechargeable battery for five minutes.

Designed by Joseph Dumary, the conceptual PlayStation 4 is said to come with a 1.5TB hard disk, DLNA, 3D Blu-ray (Blu-Ray ‘DEUCE’ Compatible, providing three times more data storage compared to classic Blu-Ray disks), USB 3.0, DPConnect Bravia Sync, Qriocity, Sony Ericsson sync, ability to store on cloud systems, live TV and applications for weather, widgets, Gamespot and news.

Furthermore, the console shows off wireless connectivity options such as DPConnect, in which users play on six different displays and each player has an individual screen, removing the old split screen mode. Also, for those without a DPConnect compatible TV, HDMI Connect can be used to wirelessly enjoy audio and video. The maximum range between the PS4 and the DPConnect TV is estimated to be 7.5 meters.

The PlayStation 4 concept design and features from Yanko Design most certainly seems to be admissible. But the main question that arises is, will Sony consider adopting this design or is there even going to be a PlayStation 4?
