How is it too soon? Isnt it like 4 years since the release of the PS3? That's an extremely long time to go without doing anything on a new console. Nintendo is announcing theres in a few weeks and Microsoft cant be far away.

Well, Sony just got Move out, Microsoft, Kinect, just when they are making adjustments to there systems, they begin to make a new one. Not really too soon I guess, well a little

"Begin" - pretty important word in that... I reckon there's a minimum of 3 years work in a major console. If they just started you're looking at 2014. Even if they have another 2 years to go, thats still plenty. Heck, even 1 is enough, because Move, like the Eyetoy, will be compatible with the new Playstation.

It's true, the current gen of consoles in terms of power are pathetic technologically. Theoretically a $300 PC would trump the 360 or ps3, though we know as PC games aren't well optimized it takes somewhere closer to a $400 pc, home built of course. Heck I got a graphics card not even a year ago "NVidia GT 240" for $40, threw it in an old dual core system I had, and it put my PS3 to shame in the graphics department. In short, yes we need new consoles.

I think games are just now starting to peak for this gen. I would love to see developers have another 2-3 years to be creative instead of having to start from scratch again. I'm hoping next gen does not start before 2013...

The PS4 isn't coming out anytime soon.. yes they are looking into it, of course they would be. That doesn't mean its coming out tomorrow. I wouldn't expect a PS4 anytime soon, not even in the next few years. And even if they did announce it, it wont change much. They are still making PS2 games, they will still be making PS3 games for a long time to come.. Most people don't buy systems at launch because of the price tag and the lack of launch titles. So even if a PS4 did come out in a few years, it would still be another couple years after that before most people would upgrade at the very earliest. The PS3 has a looong life ahead. Considering people are still buying PS2's (new as well as preowned), people will continue buying them too. Sony will be looking to the future, but they wont want to be dividing their customer base too much.

Yeah, we can probably expect it in 2013, latest 2014. But we'll all be dead by then.

My computer is as old as crap and can't play any games from the last several years. I must be undercompensating:D

The Ps4 wont be as powerful as the next 400$ pc that ppl are going to build in the next 2 or 3 years, pc hardware that are made in the present is always the future of console gaming.

Sigh.

Sony debunks PS4 development rumours.

They were talking about the NGP not PS4 lol. OK nothing to see here move along and continue playing the PS3 for another 3-4 years before starting a discussion on PS4.

" According to a Sony spokesperson the future platform Kato-san mention was Sony's Next Gen Portable ( NGP). The spokesperson also stated that Sony was surprised by how many foreignwebsites ran with unconfirmed reports regarding the PlayStation 4. "

how credible is that website exactly? because he didn't even provide any evidence


other than saying "according to sony spokesperson." heck, he didn't even mention which spokesperson it was.

About as reliable as the articles people are using to confirm PS4 I guess. Nothing in the link provided by the TC and in other PS4 related topics confirms PS4 development. Looking into next console option is normal, PS4 development is not underway in any form but Im sure Sony has began testing.

News stories never mention that stuff, so you can't really use that against them.
