As it looks like the PS3 has been hacked in a way Sony can't easilly fix, do you think they will bring forward plans for a PS4 and release it sooner than originally planned?

I know Sony wanted to wait a few more years before releasing a new system, but will this situation make them hurry a little? Maybe 2012 instead of 2013/14?

Of course not, but is there a possibility that they decide to speed things up a bit?

I doubt this attack will cause Sony to accelerate their next-generation console development schedule.

Unless the PS4 is immune to hacking and modification (which it won't be) I can't see how it's early release would be triggered by the PS3 being compromised by hacks and jailbreaks.

Actually I hope so, I'm sick of this gen, I want a console to output a 1080p 3D picture @ 60fps per eye and much better graphics to at least be on par with my 1 year old Notebook :/ But I'm afraid it won't happen, Sony made a big lose with the Ps3 and now that it makes profit they want to keep it alive as long as possible :S

No. While the PS3 hack is more severe than the 360/Wii hacks so early on in this generation, it's unlikely anything hugely serious to the common consumer will occur. Piracy will become a little more common but most people are still unaware of it or even how to do it. Most of it is being blown out of proportion, and it's doubtful Sony will try to push out PS4 when the PS3 just started making a serious profit and looks to boost that further with this year's lineup of games and partnerships.

If anything, it might slow them down.

They might have planed to use the same security system for the PS4.

Highly doubt this will make it any quicker. By that logic the PSP2, Xbox 720, and Nintendo's next console would've been here a long time ago.

If anything, this will push for more anti-piracy measures. I won't be surprised to see serial-keys come to consoles next generation.

if your wanting that kinda stuff maybe PC gaming is more you ball :P what you have to remember is these consoles specs wise are dinosaurs, the gen will last least anoother 2 years i think purely after these peripherals appeared for the PS3 and 360 showing they are gonna be round for a while.

The jailbreak is just a jailbreak a lot of consumers wont even know bout it or even touch it for that matter.Look at the PS2 it survived and still is after fairly rampant piracy same goes for the 360 and wii.

this gen aint going anywhere, people arent wanting to fork out for new consoles, the economy isnt to great and other things are bigger priorities for companies, aswell as ms getting behind kinect,ninty seeming to do their own thing, aswell as Sony supporting the PS3 shows there aint gonna be no new consoles for a while.

Did you ever consider he may have wanted to see many of the console specific games in 1080 with better framerate? I don't think people are gonna be able to grasp how big of a leap the next gen will be until they see actual gameplay.

Nah, that means Sony would be spending more time trying to beef up the PS3 than focus on the next system :P.

I doubt Sony can do anything to the PS3 to resolve this issue but provide minor roadblocks which will be removed within a week.
