Rumor: PS4 Games shown so far was developed on devkits with only 1.5GB of GDDR5 Vram.

_phil_ from BY3D has posted that most of the devkits used to make the PlayStation Meeting demos like KillZone Shadow Fall  & others only had 1.5GB of ram usable for Graphics. 

If true 2nd Gen PS4 games are going to be miles ahead of anything that we have seen so far.

PlayStation 4 Controller's Speaker & Headset jack for 3D Sound? (Sony 3D Sound Patent)

"SOUND LOCALIZATION FOR USER IN MOTION

Abstract Methods, apparatus, and computer programs for simulating the source of sound are provided. One method includes operations for determining a location in space of the head of a user utilizing face recognition of images of the user. Further, the method includes an operation for determining a sound for two speakers, and an operation for determining an emanating location in space for the sound, each speaker being associated with one ear of the user. The acoustic signals for each speaker are established based on the location in space of the head, the sound, the emanating location in space, and the auditory characteristics of the user. In addition, the acoustic signals are transmitted to the two speakers. When the acoustic signals are played by the two speakers, the acoustic signals simulate that the sound originated at the emanating location in space. "
