82w ago - Contrary to previous
reports, PlayStation Europe CEO
Jim Ryan recently stated to
Eurogamer that PS4 will probably arrive at the same time as Next-Gen XBox and Nintendo consoles.
To quote: "I think we would consider it undesirable to be significantly later than the competition [with the next PlayStation]."
He also noted, however, that there is still a lot of life left in the PS3 and explained:
"If you look at PlayStation 2, now in excess of 150m units installed globally, a huge majority of that was done at price points of £120 or lower.
We've only just hit £199 in the UK [with the PS3] so clearly there's a considerable untapped part of the market there."
Is anyone ready for a potential PS4 release as early as 2012?

I think it's too early for next-gen consoles. I'm quite happy playing PS3 nd Wii games, as are many of you too. Previous sony consoles introduced a huge jump from it's predeccessors - PS1 (one of the first 3D console), PS2 & PS3 (huge jump in graphics and sound, internet play, processing powers etc). Not to say, that every next Sony console had new storage media - CDs, DVds, BDs.
What can PS4 possibly introduce? More processing power? Nope, not quite interested. New media? If it's only digital downloads, then it would also be a fail. Something shiny like touch screens and gyroscopes? Stop copying Nintendo. They have this market segment.
I can't really think of awesome new ideas for PS4, sorry Sony.
Nintendo Wii U will be the bigger loser without a real controller, without 3D, without HDD.. no BluRay... etc
I cant even see what kind of improvement they were going to do on what PS3 or XboX360 cant do for now.
