Sony: We’re Not Working On The Playstation 4 – Honest!
With the Playstation 3′s lifespan claimed to be only 10 years, there’s already lots of buzz about the next console in the Playstation series – the Playstation 4.
But amidst of all this buzz and rumor the SCEE President David Reeves has responded to claims that the PS4 is currently in development.
I’m not even sure if that’s being considered, It’s certainly nothing I can talk about. I have absolutely no knowledge of it whatsoever. Not even sure it’s being planned.
But with Microsoft already putting the hype machine into overdrive with news about their next console do Sony really have time to sit around and wait? Can we expect a Playstation 4 sooner than expected?

I believe PS3 games will overlap PS4 games like PS2 would PS3.

They want everyone to think that they are devoting all their time, effort and resources to the PS3. If they say they’re working on a PS4 given the problems that they’ve had with the PS3, the marketplace would not like them very much.
Of course the xbox life span will likely be 5-6 years, while the PS3 will likely be going upwards of 15-20 years.

Sony is waiting for xbox to release there system first and fail again and release there new system when the time is right. Trust me xbox will not be doing so well after the slim line release of ps3. Pretty soon microsoft will pull the plug and make there new system to compete with the slim line.

Sony had issues releasing the Ps3, due to costs ect. But waiting a bit, and having a good look on the system itself, its much more stable than 360, got a sleeker look and have some really nifty tools. Ps4 would definitly take some time to produce. Think of this, id rather pay thru my ears for something decent, that has a LOt of power, more than a very fast computer, putting a lid on the pc fans stating ooh yea our games are better looking, can handle much more and its instant, rather than to have a new ps4, slightly higher specs and future games looks the same. #d games with sterioscopic lenses would be great if they can incorporate this into games, as an option for future developers. We really dont need another wireless Wii gadget.
Think of it, most pc gamers would love to have a playstation, but dont like the controller aspect so much. Why not give then the option to actually play with a mouse and keyboard if they would want to use that then. Think of it, more people crossing over to ps network, more money for them. Maybe for the ps4, a bigger or different controller (more elegant)
Lastly, playing games with your friends, its always a drag to play on split screen. Why not give the option to connect 2 screens to your system, so when yo udo play multiplayer, you can have each player on a different screen. This would be a mjor breakthrough. Looking forward to see what would be coming up on the following playstation machine.

Problems the only problem Ive ever had with a ps3 is it froze and that was my fault for playing it so much PS3 is old news now why would they put effort into the system id rather Sony be building a new system to make everyone gaming experience enjoyable that’s like playing ps2 games on a ps3 if they build the new system and devote time and make it backwards compatible with ps3 discs you’d have a lot of happy people. Other then the 1005080f bug i have nothing bad to say about Sony. x box is a different story i will not even start

Every single response on here is Bull Shit.
You talk with coks in your mouths..
Xbox 360 pisses all over the PS3, I should know, I have both systems.

You all need to have the coks slapped out of your mouths and do some real research..
Yeah the Xbox 360 has failed because of the newer slimmer PS3..
Fuken morons, go and eat some shit and die fukers….

from that japenese translation into english I interpreted that there are some plans to move from the architecture stage to actuall production but are unsure of where this will be and by which companies inputting software. Also reducing cost of production inturn reducing cost to buy off the shelves to compete with the popular nintendo wii. But it’s hard to see how far they can go in graphics and finding new inspiration for storylines at the moment. my prediction is 2-3 years before it reaches britain’s shelves by tradition then 1-2 years in japan.

LOL”Sony”, I have also had both systems as well and the xbox 360 can no longer compete with the 360. Both systems have identical games (except for a few series such as Halo or God of War) but the PS3 has so many more features, too many to count, such as a web browser, being able to save games and load games to and from a flash drive. Blu-Ray player built in. etc. Sony has really outdone the 360 with their PS3 Slim. I think you’re the one with the cok in your mouth/ass.

I have to say that overall PS3 is better than X…but X has got sony beat with its online gaming. Sony has to get the online gaming features up to speed.

Please keep in mind that the reason that Microsoft stopped production of the original XBOX was due to the fact that they failed to license the ownership of the parts that make up the original XBOX. The hard drive alone was still costing them $149 when they had already dropped the price to $199 and then $149. They were losing tons of money on each one made for that reason. It made no business sense to continue making that console for years, as Sony did with the PS2.
They indeed learned their lesson and did not make that same mistake with the XBOX 360. Though they made other mistakes, of course (i.e. rush to market and RRoD). The PS3 and XBOX 360 will stay on the market, after their successors are launched, as long as they are each still profitable. Once the profit stops, they will cancel production. Business decision.

I own both consoles this generation, but next generation I will only purchase one. Money and time will restrict my choice. Sony has already stated that they will continue to distribute games on disc based media (i.e. Blu-ray).
My big fear is that Microsoft will attempt to go digital download only for all games. My ISP will not like that choice, nor will I. As the size of games and content grow, this will limit the number of games you can play on the XBOX 720. I own over 100 games for both consoles. How would I do that in the next generation on the XBOX 720. If I want to go back and play Rainbow Six London in 2015, years after it came out, I would have to redownload it again on the 720.

yep hes correct xbox losses and sony wins and xbox’s are shit and ps3′s have better graphics so if you think 360 wins no chance m8 so……. sony has owned the 360 by miles and people think 360′s are better they better take a look at themselfs in the mirror cos a ps3 has better things on it such as bbc iplayer and and playstation home and the 360 dont have a xbox home cos 360′s are shit and take a look and compare the ps3 vs xbox 360 graphics and ps3 will be 1st cos xbox 360 are crap and all xbox are shit

PS3 beat the Xbox hands down and only Microsoft enthousiasts cant admit it. Xbox tapped into Sonys market because they could I mean really the xbox 360 is basically a micro pc even the case is similar.
I would buy Playstation everytime, ps. I have played the 360 for hundreds of hours and the only good thing about it was the controller was interesting but not better!
James said this at 7:47 am
well done and said James that is 100% a fact, and Microsoft cant even admit that PS3′s are alot better than the 360, and sorry to the xbox fans. but between the upcoming consoles PS4 and 720, that it will always be Sony that wins against Microsoft, cause I’ will tell you why PS3′s are better.
1.) Better Graphics!
2.) Ps3′s dont need batterys to charge up!
3.) PS3′s are better cause you get to play online for free!
4.) PS3′S are also better than the 360′s, because the hard drive is already all built in!
5.) ps3′s have got web browsers!
