The gigantic Japanese company is on the verge of completing their Play Station 4 Slim though it may not be any time soon. There would also be some doubts as to whether Sony will be introducing the console in the Electronic Entertainment Expo this 2015. However, with the leaks from web about the design for the PS4 Slim, some inferences regarding its specifications and designs and how it will be at par with Microsoft’s Xbox One.

The PS4 Slim will be having an upgraded and improved hardware. It will be sporting SSD instead of the usual HDD. This is to optimize the current video games at a full 1080 p resolution. There has also been a talk about the removal of the Blu-Ray Drive. Although many users had complained about this speculation, digital storage is an in thing for gamers.

Though for Sony, this might be a start for a streamlined console. The current trend of devices in this era is the slimmer, the smaller, the better. Many smart phones, phablets, tablets, and laptops followed this trend and it will be no surprise that Sony would continue following this trend. In the PS4 Slim, the design would be sleeker and slimmer.

Sony might be hoping for a success in sales similar to what had happened when the company had offered the PS3 Slim. It is also through the PS4 Slim that the Sony’s Project Morpheus or their Virtual Reality headset will make its appearance. So if you are asking how these features will give a huge blow to Xbox One, two words: Sales and Timing.

Gamers would be constantly asking for more with regards to the devices and Sony has given them more. With the release of the original PS3, Sony has given them the PS3 Slim which has upgraded features. So now, after the release of the PS4, fans might need to wait on the PS4 Slim and in most cases, anticipation is the key. Timing is also another thing to consider. Over the past years, Sony had always been in the lead when it comes to releasing new consoles as opposed to Microsoft.

The speedy release of consoles led to the falling behind of Xbox. Also, PS4 Slim release is timed with the release of newer sets of console games. Needless to say, all of these would come to light as the time for the E3 2015 goes nearer.
