Sony Probably Going To Do PlayStation 4

Posted by Zonk on Friday December 1, 2006 @04:22AM 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."

I can't wait for the PlayStation 10! by GreggBz · 2006-12-01 05:07 · Score: 3, Insightful

Well, it takes normally 3 crappy consoles to kill a gaming juggernaut. The last one is usually a desperate effort harnessing some completely obtuse miracles of complex technology.

See: Atari 7600, Lynx, Jaguar
See: CD32, Saturn, Dreamcast
See: Amiga 500, 3000, 4000T

With Sony, since they are so diversified, it would probably take at least 7 crappy consoles before the games division tanks.
So, I guess what I'm saying is that the PlayStation X should be friggin spectacular.
