TQ: After numerous amounts of implausible PlayStation 4 rumors hitting the net earlier this year, video game enthusiasts appear to want Sony’s next-gen console prematurely. Will the PlayStation 4 be announced at this year’s E3? Is the PlayStation 4 releasing in 2013? What’s taking Sony so long? All these questions are far from valid if we follow Sony’s 10-year plan for the PS3. What you should really be looking forward to is what Sony will do to make the PS3 better. This is not about a next-gen console for Sony, it’s about enhancing the PlayStation 3 to make it last until 2016, like they have reiterated many a time.
A new UI is an effective substitute for a new system? What?
And as for the ten year cycle, if history is anything to learn from then they are not going to wait the full ten years to release new hardware. The author really didn't think too hard before writing.
Once again someone doesn't understand the 10 year life cycle. It doesn't mean they won't launch until the PS3 is 10 years old, it means they will sell and support it for at least 10 years.
Can't believe people still aren't comprehending the 10 year plan thing yet.
Really, why is it so hard to understand that a 10 year plan doesn't mean a new console can't be launched alongside an old one?
edit: Ah, Kneon beat me to it, well played sir.
So will the system updates up the RAM?
A new more responsive ui along with cross game chat, ability to change psn and universal connectivity to the vita would give the ps3 a breath of fresh air I believe it needs.
