The idea with the brand new Sony PlayStation Orbis is to start and create a new generation of gamers.

The new next-generation console will reportedly not be backwards compataible with Sony PlayStation 3 games.

On top of that, the game console is also rumored to be following the Microsoft trend is not allowing used games to be played.

From an output perspective in terms of resolution, it is believed that the Sony PlayStation Orbis will output 4096 x 2160 resolution. This would put it way above anything an HDTV is currently capable of.
