So what’s the latest rumour about a PS4 release date?
Interesting. One view is that the whole concept of a single lounge-bound gaming device may become obsolete. As such, the PS4 as we know it does not exist. Instead, console gaming may well lie in a more portable device, that is played on the move.
Sony claims that the PS3 will have a 10 year lifecycle, suggesting the next PlayStation will arrive by the end of 2016 at the latest. Or we might not get a PlayStation 4 at all. Developers haven’t yet maxed out the potential of the PS3, while the release of PlayStation Move has given it an extra dimension.
“Where we go after this is an interesting one,” says Sony Computer Entertainment UK boss Ray Maguire. “The online side is very interesting and is a big part of our business going forward. But in terms of what sort of technology we’ll be using, it’s far too early to say yet because we’re only half way through the lifecycle of PS3 – there are many years to come on that machine.”
So it looks like the PlayStation 3 is here for quite a few years yet.
