While the US press release for the PlayStation 4 mentioned details about games, used games and pricing, it did not confirm all of the specs for the console. In Japan however, a more detailed press release clears up a few things. Sony's console is packing a 500GB hard drive (same as the Xbox One), and it will not include the camera module, which is a $59 (£44 and €49) add-on for the $399 box. By comparison, the Xbox One includes -- and requires for its use -- the Kinect 2.0 camera. A Best Buy listing confirms the PlayStation 4 Eye's add-on status and pricing, and that an extra DualShock 4 controller will also go for $59. We've double checked with Sony and confirmed that the system comes with a controller and mono earpiece plus HDMI, USB and power cords -- but no camera.

The spec sheet also confirms the system's dimensions at 275 x 53 x 305mm (excluding the largest projection), its ports (HDMI and optical out, 2 USB 3.0 in and 1 AUX in for use with the camera) and that a single ear mono headset is packed in with the system. That controller weighs in at 210g, includes a 1000mAh battery and one other detail some may have missed -- a built-in mono speaker. There are details specs for the camera too, which is capable of a maximum 1280 x 800 (x2) pixel capture at 60fps, 640 x 400 at 120fps, or 320 x 192 at 240fps. It has an 85 degree FOV and a 2 meter cable to connect to the system.

It's not worth an extra $60. I know their first eye device went largely unused.

This could be why they decided to sell it separately. Having it inbuilt would have cost them more which would have been an extra expense for them since they most likely wouldn't have changed the price of the console.

No Camera? Odd. Didn't want one anyway so this is good. So much cheaper than the PS3.

God damn this. Microsoft really messed up with their reveal in my opinion. I don't speak for the gaming community, but I'll put money on that most people who might want to get the Xbox One either don't want it or don't really care about it. The fact that Microsoft is forcing consumers to buy the Kinect is definitely a misstep and Sony is going to capitalize on their mistake it seems.
 
Good thing they didn't follow Microsoft's footsteps and decided to shove the camera gimmick down our throats and just left it to die.

But looking at the specs now, i think that for the price they are asking, it's a solid console that will be worth getting at release for the people interested.

It additionally beats the XB1 in terms of GPU and RAM speed, based on the fact that it uses GDDR5 instead of DDR3 RAM, alone.
 
Wow these consoles are going to be really powerful. Microsoft should follow Sony and have the Kinect as an optional accessory, that way they do not have to charge $100 more for the unit. Anyways, The processor and the ram on the Play Station 4 is over the top. I love how far gaming ahs come and how close to reality the games are developing. The idea of Cloud services is pretty interesting as well. It would be cool to go to a friends house and just download/load my save from a server and continue playing while using my account.
