Seing as how Tretton said there'd be a 10 year plan for the console, this should come as no surprise
Seeing how everyone gets excited with all the remasters for PS4 I'm not surprised and sorely disappointed. That generation lasted longer than it should, I'm baffled to why people want to extend that longer into the PS4. Let's keep it moving.
