Playstation 4 ???

Just read in the newspapers that Playstation 4 is coming out in a couple of years!

Is Sony in a rush?Playstation 3 has been released a few months ago ( it hasn't come to Europe yet! ) and they are already telling us about the release dates of Playstation 4!

What's going on?:|

Couple of years= it could be= 3,4,5,6,7 years...

We wont see it until 2012-2013. There is no need for it. New Xbox will be released in 2011-2012 thats what at least they said.

Well, I still don't have a ps3.

And the release date is around 2010.

oh yeah, i just read in the papers that ps4 will be out next week!(except europe)

i highly doubt ps4 is even being designed at all yet.

there will probably be a year or two of space until the technology updates, then they will start the design

PS4 in 2010 is a ridiculous thought. $600 for a PS3 and they replace it with PS4 in just 3 short years? I can't see this happening. Look at how long PS2 was out.

First Playstation came out in 1994, second in 2000, third in 2006, so it is very easy to count that fourth will be not early than 2012

Well, we have to try to see beyond what we can see now...

Let's begin... So, Sony has this incredible machine right now but at a very high price... The reason? Expensive components. With time, all those components will be very, very, very cheap, and they all will be upgraded with some of them shrinked, saving Sony a lot of money so they can finally sell the PS3 cheaper.

But that's not important... With PS2 selling like hot cakes right now, they could easily STAY on third place for a while making sure that Blu-Ray wins the "format war" and making billions a year when that happens. At the same time, PS2 will start to fade and, with Blu-Ray new impulse, Sony can concentrate in making all PS2 users upgrade to PS3. It will be proved, cheaper and with loads of new functions, just like they have done with PSP.

Why am I telling you all this? Simple... When the time comes to make a PS4, Sony will have incredible technology at affordable prices, a very different situation than what Sony has today. Cell chips will be smaller, faster and, maybe, Sony will include more Cells into PS4 or make new Cells with more SPE's, to begin with. Blu-Ray? Well, we can think that Blu-Ray will be standard at that moment and Sony will start selling 200GB capable Bu-Ray drives with PS4, and so on... We don't know... Maybe Cell will be used as a GPU (like Sony wanted at first), making this new desing cheaper yet.

What I'm trying to tell you is that Sony can survive in third place this generation (I don't want it, I want my PS3 on top!) if Blu-Ray can replace the DVD. Look ant GameCube last gen... Nintendo didn't go broke because GC didn't win. When PS4 comes, it will be a beast of a console and it will be CHEAPER than PS3 (and maybe, all competitors) giving a lot of power so they can take back the first place (if they don't make it this gen. But I'm sure they will!)

Then Sony can concentrate, from the very begining, to sell this new console to everyone.

But then, I think it is very early to talk about all of this. Whan we must do now is to enjoy or PS3's.

F.

Sony will charge $2000 for the ps4,and you puppets will buy it!

Even if its a hollow shell?

Ignorance is biss!but that's just stupidity...

hahah, why are we even thinking of this now. The PS3 is barely 6 months old. No need to think about PS4.

Some of us(like me) havent bought a PS3 yet. Im hoping to get mine next weekend. :D

Ya mean just like you and your little 360? Ignorance is Bliss isnt it? Another idiot who comes to these boards trolling bashing the Ps3. when they dont even own or never played one. Do us all a favor and go eat some rat poison. 

This thread is a joke. Stop wasting our time. There's no way possible anyone is discussing PS4. You're either really ignorant or you are just trying to start something/dubvisions

Aren't you getting ahead of yourselg? The PS3 is a brand new machine, so, you know, I would play this one until you've goten everything out of it and then worry about a PS4,5,6 (just my opinion)
