This is a serious question. When do you think ps4 is going to come out? Since ps3 slim just came out, does it mean that ps4 is going to be released in 1 or 2 years?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
ps4 will be release in 2012 so yes a little more than 2 years from now. im basing this off of ps2 coming out in ps1's 6th year and ps3 coming out in ps2's 6th year.
After spending so much money on my PS3 and game collection, I do not want to even think about the PS4.
Especially since we now know Sony's stance on BC.
I think you may be waiting for manyyears my friend, but only you know if now is not the time to spend your money.

Wait for the PS4. It's coming this Christmas so... I'd hold off from buying a PS3 for now.

Are you serious? The PS4 will not be in stores this Christmas, or anytime soon for that matter.
I hope you're joking...My sarcasm was quite obvious :P
I really really get the vibe that this generation is a bit different then the last.
Especially with Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
With motion controls coming out next year, with the hardware that satisfies most graphic-whore players. With Digital Distribution being the next big thing, as well as all the amentities that come with the home console now.
The only brand i see coming out any time soon will be Nintendo. and even then it will not be a substantial change.
This one is gonna be in for the long haul.
Not for a long time dude. PS3 if Sony sticks to their word won't come to an end until 2016. So buy the Slim. I upgraded from my 80GB model and I'm extremely happy.This is a serious question. When do you think ps4 is going to come out? Since ps3 slim just came out, does it mean that ps4 is going to be released in 1 or 2 years?

ps4 = 2016?
NO way. That's way too late. Dude Sony said the PS3 is gonna have a 10 year life span at the LOW END. On top of that with all these new enhancements such as motion controls, natal, and the digital distribution services that the home consoles offer... It would be really dumb to release a new console so early in this generation. Not to mention the technology is good enough right now. Graphics are insane, 7.1 channel surround sound is doable, the ability to create games that offer lifelike realism was never possible last generation. Thats why it ended so soon. Gaming technology, at least as far as the PS3 is concerned is at a standstill because the Cell Broadband Processor is the pinacle of technology at the moment. The possibilities are endless with this generation already.PS4 has a long way to go, especially since the PS3 Slim has just been released. You are better off with a PS3, than wait for PS4.
Sony has already said that the PS3 is going to be a ten year system, at the least. Get the Slim.

nooooooooo, that's not what it means! The ps3 having a lifespan of +/- 10 years doesn't mean that the ps4 is going to be released AFTER that lifespan.
The PS2 is also still going since the ps3 was released 3 years ago. What it means is that the ps4 will probably be released around 2012/1013 (maybe even sooner, depending on what microsoft and nintendo are doing). After that, the ps3 will still live, but mark my words, it will get the same crap like the ps2 is getting right now.

That is exactly what i was trying say. Too many people misunerstands that "10 year life span = no new console in 10 years". That would mean ps3 will be released in 2010, since ps2 came out in 2000. Anyways, I've decided to buy ps3. I can't wait to play mgs4. :D

if you dont mind waiting till 2018 then id say wait :)
Yeah there was already a thread asking this exact same question earlier today here and it was beaten to death. Go buy a ps3 or you will be waiting a good while for ps4.This is a serious question.

Still making games for the PS2.. they aren't gonna launch the ps4 with the ps2 still active.. and when the ps2 is done they aren't gonna rush out the ps4, that would be like skipping over the ps3.. there is still a lot of time so get the slim..
I personally think Sony and MS will have the same idea. They will bring out the Natal and Motion Controllerthen two years later bring out a new console. This will leave the PS3 to be their cheap console that they can sell to casual gamers like the Wii. They might even support the PS3 past its 10 year if they done this.
No company is going to say when its releasing their console in case the other company try to rush out their console first. Sony sales got hurt bad this gen by the xbox 360 early release so i dont see Sony making the same mistake by letting the next xbox release first and form a biglead. Now Sony doesn't know when the next xbox will be release so they will have to be ready for it which i think means within the next couple of year.
I think you should buy a PS3 now as its a good cost and will be supported for years to come. It also has great games to play right now. The next PS4 could be expensive so just go with the PS3.
