it could be. you do have to remember that kotaku was the first to release info on wii u, circle pad pro or even 3ds
Or make the backwards compatible like the very first Japanese run and by the time it comes out in the west they change it out due to "Costs" or hardware overheating
considering that the backwards compatible PS3s actually contained PS2 hardware, cutting costs is a perfectly valid reason to remove the feature.
Orbis? That just sounds stupid, even for a working title. Other than that, it doesn't sound that amusing. I might save my money and keep playing my PS3. Only the compatibility of 3D games sounds amazing.
Like a name means anything, anyone remember the backlash from such names as the "Wii" and the "iPod"?
Orbis really reminds me of Orbit, and that name of gum really bothers me. I pray to Dios that they'll change it.
[over the top groan here] I would hope it doesn't require online at all times. Bah. I never buy used games, this is even more incentive to avoid those rip-offs. I like the name Orbis better than "Playstation 4".
