WTF.

Chiba City-In what will go down in history as one of the most shocking announcements in Tokyo Game Show history, Sony announced today that the company will be discontinuing development for it's Playstation 3 console by the end of 2008 in order to focus all it's resources on the upcoming Playstaion 4, which will release in the forth quarter of 2008. This comes as a shock to many gamers, especially after the announcement of new pricing schemes for the PS3 just last month at the E3 Media and Business Summit.

"We looked at the market, and realized that we cannot realistically hope to win the current generation console war," stated Kaz Hirai, President and Group Chief Operating Officer of Sony Computer Entertainment, "so we're starting with a clean slate, and we will work to avoid the mistakes we made with the Playstation 3."

The unexpected announcement was made at Sony's press conference this afternoon, but it was far from the only shocker Sony had in store for gamers. Immediately after making the controversial PS4 announcement, Sony went on to baffle the audience of journalists and industry experts when Hirai then announced that thePlaystation5would release by the end of 2009.

"We looked at the market, and realized that we cannot realistically hope to win the next generation console war," stated Kaz Hirai, President and Group Chief Operating Officer of Sony Computer Entertainment, "so we're starting with a clean slate, and we will work to avoid the mistakes we made with the Playstation 4."xnmoshun
