Sony: PS4 Likely to Arrive After Next-Gen XBox and Nintendo

In the meantime a Sony patent has revealed that they will use external processors to increase the power of the PS3 so there will be no need for a PS4. I think it's a good thing because I won't need to buy a new console, only a processor and that will be cheaper. But Sony will definitely release a PS4 because of the money they'd earn. But there is still plenty of time to that event. So I'm waiting

I think as much as the involment of devs is a good idea, I really can see some type of info or tech getting leak to others :S

Ah well we shall see.

i just hope sony is only letting exclusive developers help with the ps4. i'd hate to see a multi-platform developer "leak" secrets/capabilities to either m$ or nintendo.

The developers being involed will make it much easier and especially quicker to create and release games won't it?

From what I see going on, the PS4 life will be much different than that of the PS3. Since the creation will greatly influenced by the Devs, the system will be more prepared than the PS3 was. It is a great system, and the whole RROD issue was a mess, but being released a year prior to the PS3, and being a much easier platform to program for, the 360 has had more success IMO.

However, including the Devs into the next gen console will allow them to have an understanding of the procedure involved in creating content, which will then allow them to strategize for the release of said content.

This could greatly influence the future consecutive console war that will erupt, and might even favor a much more understood and developed, powerful platform if the PS3 is any indicator.
