Nice to see Jack Tretton is still out of touch with reality.

I expect a new playstation in the next couple of years but 2013 would be the earliest for me, it's hard to make a prediction when all we have are rumours.

Lol Sony Rumors are actually always right. For some reason they can never keep anything under wraps. I call this rumor, approved.

Sony would have shown the console at E3 if they were ready for production... huge publicity, why would they miss out on that? Obvious bs is obvious.

not sure if serious. They could be producing a lot early to stock up. So they could sell a lot at launch, to avoid shortages, and install a faster user base. Then announce it at some other event, or e3 2012. They could have tons waiting to be shipped at that point.

A whole year+ of stockpiling old hardware, go from a solid core audience, to competing with the king of console casuals, Nintendo... There's no way (if they were to be doing something this stupid) that it'd be good hardware, they'd want to wait 'til a smaller processes, cheaper and less power required, more reliable.

If sony are going to pull what MS did in 05 with the 360 it would be pretty funny.... As no one really is expecting a home console from Sony in 2012.

Well E3 for sony was for PS Vita, I doubt sony would try and take attention from it own hardware. But still its hard to imagine sony having a console ready for 2012.

I think you're right. PS4 is not anywhere near a launch cycle. Sony is gearing up to launch the NGP. That's going to be out at least a year before PS4.

That doesn't mean they won't release a new console within those 10 years. With both their previous consoles they kept getting new games for a while alongside their successors.

I don't see a new PS coming out for a number of years yet. And even then, i'll still be busy playing my PS3 and enjoying all the new games that come out. They are still making PS2 games. It wouldn't be good to divide the market already when so many people still haven't made the jump from ps2 to ps3.

I wouldn't put it past them. I'd say they really learned a lot from the ps3 launch. coming in a year after the 360 (during which the 360 was racking up games) and offering relatively little for such a high price killed their launch sales. they may be looking to avoid that again now that the Wii U has been announced for 2012 by launching the ps4 in the same time frame with a competitive price.

If Sony releases behind M$ again, they're going to be in trouble IMO. They will temporarily lose that attention of the hardcore crowd. They'll probably release a 360 with kinect for 149.00 and capture the lions share of the casual market. This scenario would mean serious trouble for Sony and they know it. They will release along side of the new Xbox.

So much for the 10 year plan. Doesn't really surprise me though that they are talking about a followup to the PS3 flop so soon.

i guess this could sorta kinda possibly maybe perhaps have some truth to it.

sony does not want to launch last again and the wiiu is announced and the nextbox will have a e3 2012 debut and fall 2012 launch.

Wasn't this also the rumor that they would ship 20 million consoles for launch? Please name me another company that had 20 million consoles ready for their launch. Most struggle to hit a couple million.

No company in their right mind would produce 20 million consoles right away without testing the waters with how popular their product will be. If your products bombs you wasted hundreds of millions producing consoles that would never get sold.

Lets see here..In the US our economy is about equal to the great depression in the 30s. "or 20s" whenever it was..:)...zero jobs,foreclosures every day,bankruptcy every day,all of our work is being outsourced..NOW the President is fixing to hold money from us tax payers, disability,retirement,ect just to try and make up for some of the TRILLIONS that we're in debt for...LOL..

Right now...I would say EVERY console developer should hold still. I wont be buying anything any time soon..AND they better be happy if I even buy the 4-5 games Ive been wanting sometime this year.

Seems like they would have shown the PS4 at E3 if they were going to start manufacturing it so soon.
