Sony Probably Going To Do PlayStation 4

Posted by Zonk on from the stop-the-presses dept.

Nomura Securities' Yuta Sakurai has been quoted as saying that 'he cannot imagine a PlayStation 4' because of Kaz Hirai's promotion. He sees it as a move (eventually) towards Sega-like software focus. Sony has, of course, immediately denied this because ... they (understandably) like money. From the article: "Following the launch of the PlayStation 3 just a few weeks ago, and witnessing the huge consumer demand for the product, I think it would be rather short-sighted for anyone to predict there might not be a next generation of PlayStation product."

    The PS3 in the long run will probably turn out to be OK. You learn from your errors and move on. Why does every decision have to be Draconian these days?

    Besides, the promised us the nano-dust based PS9 in that commercial.

      Considering the cost of a PS3 on eBay, the PS4 better come with a vagina.

    In Japanese at least, the on yomi (shi) of the number four is a homonym for death. Probably not the sort of feeling they would want to convey for a new console's launch.

    I don't know about you, but I'd buy a console called the DeathStation.

    Might not happen or might not be profitable? There's a difference. If you're a major multinational corporation, sometimes- out of habit- you spend a few billion dollars. Amusing and sad at the same time.
