"I heard a Sony exec say at a closed board meeting..." and
"corporate insiders said this at such-and-such convention" and
"Kaz Hirai said this and that off the record at a sushi bar"
They know absolutely NOTHING, and that's all Sony has said about the next generation, that is, nothing. The ps3 is so advanced that it will be the year 2014 at the earliest before anything better can be designed, produced and shipped to retailers. Even if Microsoft makes a new xbox, and Nintendo upgrades their slow, last-gen Wii, the ps3 will still be more powerful because of the Cell engine. And until pc's and consoles can go faster without increasing the number of cores, the ps3 is about the limit of what can be built. Single-core clock rates higher than 4 ghz won't get to consoles before 2014 either. They're not even in pc's yet.
People know even less about what a new playstation would have, than about when it might be released. Sony said the ps3 is designed to last until 2016, so expect the next console to coexist with it for about 2 years, no more. Again, 2014 is the reasonable estimate. But nobody, including Sony's engineers, has the slightest idea what they could make a new game console out of. The cell engine is a radical way-out technology that still hasn't come into its own. I heard a rumor that the next ps3 will also use a Cell, but if so, that won't be a new generation, just an upgraded ps3. If they take a Cell, and give it a new video card and some other features, they'll be making a ps3-plus, not a ps4. Like the psp 3000 and the DSi.
Sony is almost broke,and PS3 is crippled by Xbox 360's and Wii's might.
Unless there were 10 more games like Killzone 2,PS4 will come out in 2010.
there will be not right now and not for a time being. the ps3 just came out and they ARE NOT going to destroy its rep. and plus, there an economy crisis happening. sony doesnt want to lose any money right
