According to Examiner.com, Sony is developing a new laser technology that is 20 times better than Blu-Ray.
Since it is said that the Playstation 4 will use optical storage discs like the Playstation 3 does, this kind of technology might not be shipped with the PS4.
To quote:
The development team of Tohoku University and Sony has completed work on a new laser technology offering 20 times the capacity of current Blu-Ray discs. The most difficult aspect, if I can make sense of the google translation as well as I think I can, was reducing the size of the equipment needed to produce such a strong beam of light down to the size of commercial products.
Currently the technology can only be used in experimental prototypes costing over $100,000 to produce. Sony plans to have the laser available to consumers within a few years.
Stay tuned for news on this matter.
