I am not buying another 700 dollar console anytime soon. I dont understand why is it that early? Why not 2020? Theres good games coming out now, and suddenly PS4 comes out. Nobody likes that.

If it comes 2014 or 13, i am not buying it, i think.

Whoah wait! You think the next console should be released in 2020???? 15 years after this generation started? I'd be ready to spend money on a new console in 2013.

you are level 7 so i hope you are trolling,joking or just plain uninformed. the ps3 has been out for 5 years already and it has aged a lot. the disc space helps things stay uncompressed but its already hitting its limit with uncharted 3. By the time of 2020 the ipod 13th generation will be vastly more powerful than the ps3 and so would xbox 1440 as well as wii 3

I doubt I'll be getting any new console after this gen. Gaming just doesn't have the same effect on me as it used to, plus most of what little time I spend gaming is done on a PC anyway.

I doubt it, I'm planning to update my PC soon enough and I can see myself getting back into PC gaming. The PS3 has been a hell of a console but I can't see myself buying a PS4 anytime in the near future, funds and time is starting to become rather short.

You must be joking. NOBODY is going to wait 9 YEARS to make their next console. It's gonna come in 2013 or 2014...or at least, that's what I predict

I will buy it but not for £450... £350 maybe i guess and i want more RAM, no more of this god forsaken optimizing 90% of the development time just to make games look reasonable and sub-HD with massive pop in from 3 feet away... RAM is important.

Nope. I'll do what I always do: Wait for it to come out and see how it does. In the meantime I'll be finishing up my PS3 library and by the time the PS4 actually has a decent and worthwhile library of games, a slimmer cheaper version will be released. That's when I'll go and buy one. :D

thats what i did, but it'll depend on how much stuff i still have to play when it comes out. esp considering i game mostly on the PC these days.

Depends on what it offers. If Sony really doesn't increase the power much, I'll become more and more an PC exclusive gamer

I learned my lesson with the PS3. This time I'll wait a year or two after release to pick one up. By then it will be cheaper, more efficient, they'll have the bugs worked out and there should be a good library of games available.

I'll wait a couple of years after release as I did with the ps3 for the price to go down, games to come out, and any problems to be fixed. Plus, I'm hoping the Vita will be worth it, so i also have an eye on that. Now, if a monster hunter came to the ps4, well I'd sacrifice going out to the movies/eat/store/etc... and save that money up for a ps4 and monster hunter (though, I'm excitied for a monster hunter on the vita as well, afterall, the psp ones look great for a handheld, I can't even imagine how a new one will look on the vita).

Are gamers so bored with their PS3's that we need PS4 topics every other day :\ Well if I were to purchase a PS4 it will be in 2015, not later and definitely not sooner.

It's not that, it's just because we're due for a successor and hype always start to build around this time.

We are not due for any successor, its all rumours which Sony have already squashed. And yet gamers feel that because we are getting a new Ninty system it's about time every other console dev releases a new system as well. Going forward Sony is going to concentrate on the PSV(their new system) and of course the PS3. Sony are not going to release another console to warrant such topics as it will take away momentum from their new handheld.

In terms of the history of Playstation we're due for a new console. Regardless of whether or not it's coming now doesn't matter to some people. It's been 6 years difference ever since the first playstation, that's why people are hyping it up so next. PS1 - 1994 PS2 - 2000 PS3 - 2006 PS4 - 2012 Personally I think a new console won't happen for at least 2 more years but it's hard to imagine a company like Sony not already having the plans drawn up.

Basically, Nintendo said they're system is coming out relatively soon, so Sony wasn't going to just ignore it. Instead, they released a press release just as a way to show they too will eventually have a new console. Granted, if it does get pushed back I can see most of the people saying they don't want it complain that Sony lied to them and now they have to wait. You're right in saying they don't want attention taken away from the Vita (especially after the psp sort of died off compared to the many versions of the DS). I'm looking forward to both systems, since I rather enjoy the quirky games on my psp such as patapon and the not so quirky but awesome monster hunter games, and I play my ps3 quite a bit (especially lately now that I have a backlog of 4 games, 2 of which are lengthy rpgs).

I seriously doubt that Sony would be silly enough to launch the PS4 at that price, but then again I'm no genius!! lol...Anyway I would be open to buying the PS4 if the additional functions are relative to my needs

2020? Are you joking? You honestly expect 2006 technology to be relevant then? By 2020 I'd expect the Playstation 5 to be talked about.

The difference in the launch date doesn't change the PS3 hardware.

I won't be, that's for sure. I'm a broke college student. Not to mention the first consoles released almost always have hardware problems of some kind.

I'd buy it. By 2014, the PS3 will be six years old. I think a console gen should last four years. People might moan and say four years is too short, but they're probably the same people who don't join the current generation until three years after launch.

Not sure if I'll buy PS4... I love my PS3 but I just bought a new PC gaming rig so there's no need for me to update to a new console, anytime soon anyway. Maybe after a few years when the price comes down I'll think about it.

For those of us that got our PS3's when they came out in 2006, 2013 or 2014 sounds like a pretty good time for the next console. 2013 is still a bit close, but 2014 sounds about right.

I would happily welcome a new Playstation in 2013/2014. However if a new console was released next year I would still probably go out and buy it because I'm sucker for new hardware.

if they can make the graphics "modern" that is, if it can power the samaritan demo at 60 fps, then i'd consider it. but i'd still need sony to sell me on it as i still have quite a few ps3 games i need to finish.

Of course I'll buy it, I love gaming and would consider myself as hardcore gamer. I hope it'll come out in 2015, not 2013 because I want developers to focus on PS3 for a bit longer so they'll bring out better games.

If it's over £500, I guess I'll wait for a bit...

I probably wouldn't be buying a new console within the next 5+ years. The PS3 has plenty of life yet.. even if a new console was to come out in a few years, it would still be a few years before id consider buying it. I don't have the funds to spend on new systems anymore. And there are so many games already out i want to play, and many many more coming.

2013/2014 would be fine with me. That would be the ideal time for the PS4 to come out as far as I'm concerned. All of next year left to enjoy the PS3, then the year after maybe start thinking about moving on.

No matter when would it be released i wont buy it day 1. Since most consumer electronics have problems when they are first released, i will wait for a slim or later revisions of the hardware.

I don't think I will. I didn't get a PS3 until MGS4 & GTA4 were out, & at this point I don't think there will ever be another game I'm hyped up as much for. That's not to say there won't be any great games for it, I'm just past getting that excited for new games now. Maybe I'm getting old lol. I think I'll jump to PC next gen if anything.

No matter when would it be released i wont buy it day 1. Since most consumer electronics have problems when they are first released, i will wait for a slim or later revisions of the hardware.

good point. i'll probably wait awhile for it, actually. *looks at ps3 and 360 at launch*

Though the PS3 didnt have much of a problem at launch because its hardware was perfectly suited for the games at launch. Then a system software update forced the old PS3's BD drive spin a lot faster thus increasingthe internal temperature=YLoD. While the Slim PS3's were already built upon that update.

I wont talk about X360's problem because this is not the place.
