Sony is working on PlayStation 4

Sony has confirmed that work on a "future platform" to follow the PS3 "is already under way".

Sony's executive vice president and chief financial officer Masaru Kato made the revelation on a conference call to investors today. He was asked to explain increased research and development (R&D) costs.

"For the home equipment the PS3 still has a product life," he said, "but this is a platform business, so for the future platform - when we'll be introducing what product I cannot discuss that - but our development work is already under way, so the costs are incurred there."

Kato's comments are in direct contrast those of Sony Computer Entertainment boss Kaz Hirai's. Hirai said, three months ago in March, that "a near-future PS4 or next-generation home console is not something that we are even debating now".

Hirai stressed that Sony wasn't "even at the half-way point" in PS3's lauded 10-year plan.

This console cycle may be destined to last longer than previous generations, but there are already rumours of top-tier publishing partners receiving prototype dev kits of Microsoft's new Xbox.

Meanwhile Nintendo has plans to formerly unveil Wii 2 - codenamed Project Cafe - at E3 next month.

this was coming a long way, I don't think anyone is surprised. I may wait a few months too. It's probably going to be over priced right from the get go.

hmm I dunno man, usually it costs a lot because they haven't figured out how to manufacture cheaper parts at first. I guess until specs begin to shed a light then we'll probably have a good idea

True, that's a good point. Sony was in red for a while before making any profits. I guess now that many pieces are cheap they can probably work on making a smaller investment to maximize revenue.

However, higher price point = lower sales. They can't get that wrong otherwise their competitors will capitalize.

if i were a betting man, i would bet xbox 3 and ps4 will be very similar in power and price

Ps4 won't be around for another 2 years, the only problem sony have is making a next gen console. The ps3 still has alot to give.

+1

All the talk of Sony saying how much more powerful the ps3 is didn't help for anything multi platform. Only their exclusive titles showed.

Isn't that just how it goes

 

[Horhay]

Any improvements or things you'd like to see in the PS4 guys?

For one I would like to see faster ram and a few more CPU cores.

How about not having the disc get stuck if it breaks down...

You mean like having a release button?

 

[DaMexiRican]

Idk. Remember the og 60gb ps3's wouldn't eject the game if it got the ylod.
