Are we ready to say hello to Playstation 4 and say goodbye to the mighty PS3?

I am still contented with the graphics of the ps3, how about you playstation fans out there?

I'm not even close to ready for the PS4. Long live the PS3.

PS2's are still being sold. I am not ready for a PS4, but if it comes out, I will still be sitting on the PS3 for awhile.

No way, I'm happy with my PS3, I don't to another Sony console until about 3-4 years.Homicide___

This. I feel likeI could last a long time playon the current gen's hardware.

[QUOTE="Batang_X990"]just like every console gen, i don't buy launch consoles. i think it's a safe bet that we will see a ps4 announcement by 2013, and see the new console between 2013-2015. so, a good 3-4 years before next gen. not bad.Flame_Blade88

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. Just because they stated it will have a lifespan of 10 years doesn'tmean that they won't announce the PS4 until 2016. They will do what the did with the PS2 - still support it, but the PS3 became the main focus. Same will happenthe PS4 and PS3.

Also, 2016 would be way too late if Sony plans on staying in the console market. By then both Nintendo and Microsoft will have their next consoles out.

they said the same exact thing for the ps1 and ps2.

the 10 year life span has to do with hardware, not software. in fact, we should have ps4 by now

but with the economy and all the world tradegies, it's not really a surprise that we still don't see them.

they'll keep making ps3's till 2016. if demand is high by 2016, they'll extend it just like the ps2.

as for software(ie games), they'll stop releasing major AAA for ps3 once ps4 is out,

but they're still going to keep making ps3s until demands for it ceases.

Not until 2014 for me.. for some reason i feel thats the shortest time im going to wait for it

[QUOTE="Flame_Blade88"] Well Sony stated many many times that PS3 is "future-proof" and will be the mainstream Sony platform for at least 10 years. So going by Sony's statements I wouldn't expect PS4 until 2016 at the earliest.Flame_Blade88

heh...I don't trust Sony when they say that they are not releasing PS4 anytime soon. They lie a lot, like the time when they say there is no PS3 slim planned nor a PS3 price drop a few months before they released a PS3 slim and announced a price drop. They say there is no PS4 planned, but I'm pretty sure once the competition announce their next gen consoles they are going to want to start developing PS4 too, because the competition can release even more powerful hardware than the PS3, because then the PS3 would get outdated pretty fast...

I'm glad video game systems don't come out like i-pads or i-phones (seems we have a new version of those every month) so I'm going to say that I am quite content with the PS3 yet Ioften imaginethe possibilities of the next Playstation system and I can't wait to see what it can do and what the games will be like.

Nahh it still feels way to soon for me even though I bought my PS3 at launch. I'll be good for at least another 5 years to tell you the trut..

Have some mercy on my wallet :P

heck no thechno!

The PS3 can go for another 5 years strong as far as im concerned.

I'm ready since about 2 years xD It's just sad that no console can make use of my 1080p 3D Tv for games :S

I'm perfectly happy with the PS3, heck I've still got a year's warranty left on it :lol: Just keep the great games coming, that's all I care about.

Maybe in a year or two Sony can start talking about the PS4.

No way. I still have games I need to play (and buy). I can't afford another console at the moment lol.

I already have the new psp and the 3ds to buy.

I have no desire for the next generation of consoles yet. Maybe in a few years. I'm still enjoying my PS3 immensly. hrt_rulz01

Holiday 2012 please.

Bleh, hell no. I'm not forking out another several hundred dollars for a new system. Make the PS3 last another 4 or 5 please, thanks...

why even make this thread TC?scared of wii2 lol? wii2 is a joke dude..relax.

I'm not even close to ready for the PS4. Long live the PS3.

Unlike Microsoft and Nintendo. Those two companies are in the very early stages of developing their successor consoles.

The Playstation 4 is a long ways off. Sony doesn't have to worry about rushing out the PS4. As the PS3 is still going strong since it is more powerful the either the Xbox 360 or the Wii. The PS3 will easily outlast the others in the 7th Generation and continue to have great games during it's 10 year lifespan. Just like the PS1 and PS2 before it.

The PS3 is the best console this generation. The PS3 is just fine, Sony may be thinking about the 8th generation. I would welcome the PS4 But I don't think that I have to say buy to PS3 just yet.....

PS4 will trump whatever Microsoft and Nintendo come up with. But When Sony is ready for the Playstation 4.

Sony is Focused on the NGP (Which has a chance to knock Nintendo off the Handheld Crown)

I'm good for another 2 or 3 years. Floppy_Jim

I am still perfectly content with my PS3 and don't really care about graphics getting better. It's all about the software to me.

With all the updates being added to the current consoles I really don't see a new system coming out for at least another 5 years
