We can
confirm that the PS4 Slim is real.
In our
bid to confirm the veracity of the images that leaked online last night (more
on that below), Digital Foundry's Richard Leadbetter visited the person who
claimed to have bought the console from Gumtree.
We also
have our own image of the PS4 Slim, below:

The
PlayStation 4 Slim has leaked online.
The new
console was first spotted on auction website Gumtree, before being picked up
by NeoGAF.
Sony will
hold an event on 7th September in New York, where it is set to announce the more powerful
PS4, codenamed Neo, and this PS4 Slim.
Twitter
user shortmaneighty2, who spotted the Gumtree listing, and NeoGAF user
Venom Fox have posted multiple images of the console, showing it boxed, unboxed
and compared to the original PS4 console.
Eurogamer
understands the PS4 Slim will be released shortly after this event, later in
September. We don't know how much it will cost, however, but the expectation is
it will be cheaper than the original PS4.
We've
asked Sony for comment.
Microsoft recently
released a slimmer version of the Xbox One, dubbed the Xbox One S, and has a more
powerful console, currently called Project Scorpio, in the works.
Nintendo will release its next console, codename NX, in March 2017.
