Sony expected to unveil next PlayStation

Sony is widely expected to unveil its next home video game console at an event in New York on Wednesday, as the Japanese electronics maker tries to reclaim its status atop the industry.
The company has yet to reveal any information about the device, other than a brief announcement encouraging video game players to "see the future" of PlayStation.
Speculation swirls around what features the next PlayStation might wield. Several industry analysts, including Inside Network's Billy Pidgeon, expect Sony to continue pressing forward with enhancements to the online PlayStation network and increased digital content options. "We've been seeing a trend toward offering (retail) games on the same day as downloadable games," he says. "That will likely continue."
Sony's upcoming console will also likely see an uptick in technical power. Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter says the console "is certainly going to be faster," but warns the jump might not seem as vast as previous generations. "I think we're getting to the point where games look almost real, (but) you're just not going to want to look more than real," he says.
