The next PlayStation has three touch screens, six processors, 17 cores, and five Bluetooths. It supports six controllers each with three touch screens (totaling 18 touch screens in all), three clouds (in case two clouds break down), four cameras and five-dimensional gameplay across eight TVs (but just two planes of existence in eight-screen mode).
