+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted December 27, 2006 Subscriber² Share Posted December 27, 2006 By Cornelius Wilson on 12/04/06 at 8:50 PMVice President of Technology for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, Paul Holman confirmed that there will be a PlayStation 4, and that it would be released sometime after 2010 in an interview with SmartHouse. "To say that there will be no PS4 because of a management change is a bit far fetched" he said. Until the release of the PlayStation 4, there will be several upgrades for the PS3. Source: PS3Insiders.com http://www.ps3insiders.com/ps3/167290148.php Good news for anyone interested. The competition between rivals will continue on for many years to come! Although to be honest id rather they just push on with the PS3 worldwide release and get the damn thing out over here! haha Wonder how this topic will turn out though :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P!P Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 It will be interesting to see what position they are at in 2010. Will the PS3 be a success or will Sony be to to prove themselves again with the PS4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simsie Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 isn't that a bit fast...considering that they haven't got the PS3 out everywhere. To me it shows they realise there is something wrong with the PS3, but that may just be me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flapjackman176 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 well its the cool thing to hate Sony now a days.. The Wii is a wonderful system and its by far the best of the three.. i do think the PS3 is a great system from a powerhouse standpoint.. the 360 is nowheres near the power of the PS3.

Purple Haze Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 PS4? Duh. What I find interesting is how they openly say PS3 will receive 'upgrades.' When they say it like that, it sounds like more than just rearranging the insides to cut costs or giving it a new paint job. Think I'll definitely wait until Xmas 2007 to get mine......

To me it shows they realise there is something wrong with the PS3, but that may just be me. It says after 2010 in the article so I'm guessing that could mean any date up to something reasonable like 2014ish? Basically its just confirmation that there will be a PS4 just now. I'm sure Sony doesn't even know when to release it just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it shows they realise there is something wrong with the PS3, but that may just be me. nope it's not a bit fast at all... Since companies always start there next console right after there release newest console... Since it will take at least 4 years or more before they finish doing research etc for the next one.. It's just like microsoft already confirming there next console.. An we might find out next year about nintendo confirming there next one for around the same time frame..

cashman Veteran Posted December 27, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 27, 2006 PS4 talk already? Maybe Sony are taking a leaf out of Microsoft's book and releasing a console every 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheppard Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 PS3 upgrades? As in what, upgraded hardware? Thats gonna suck for people who own PS3s with different hardware configurations. i do think the PS3 is a great system from a powerhouse standpoint.. the 360 is nowheres near the power of the PS3. Yawn they are more evenly matched in hardware than the xbox and ps2 were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted December 27, 2006 Author Subscriber² Share Posted December 27, 2006 PS3 upgrades? As in what, upgraded hardware? Thats gonna suck for people who own PS3s with different hardware configurations. I'm thinking more official hard drive upgrades, new colours and things like that. Or slim PS3, we could do with one of them :laugh: It better be anyway! :shiftyninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReAnimation Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 PS3 upgrades? As in what, upgraded hardware? It can be taken either way. I don't think they will change the hardware configuration that much since as you say it will end up annoying early adopters - Look at the 360 and the rumors about a bigger hard disk. I think the upgrades refer to firmware updates. Give the PS3 another 4-5 years and Sony will probably release a new version PS3 but knowing Sony and its ability of shrinking devices down its probably going to be 1/4 of the size of the current PS3.

Samboini Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Apparently the PS7 is scheduled for late 2052. It will be sixty seven million billion trillion 'brazilian' times faster than BlueGene/L! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted December 27, 2006 Author Subscriber² Share Posted December 27, 2006 ^ wow you guys are funny. If you read about you would know there was rumours about there being no PS after the PS3 (due to the bad PS3 launch and other things). This article dispels that.

Ironman273 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 (edited) ^ wow you guys are funny.If you read about you would know there was rumours about there being no PS after the PS3 (due to the bad PS3 launch and other things). This article dispels that. and after those rumors came out some Sony guy said there would be a PS4. Doesn't mean much really, it just seems like damage control. At any moment, if there actually is a real plan, it can get cancelled. Obviously Sony won't let go of a franchise like the PS so quickly. They might make mistakes like Nintendo did after ruling the console market, but look at the Wii now.I found an old thread with the info: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...9683&hl=ps4 Edited December 27, 2006 by Ironman273 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNay Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Isn't 4 an unlucky number to the orientals? Seeing how Sony is a Japanese company I wonder if it will be called PS4. Hmmm... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
