Sony: "Forget about that PS4 for now"

Posted on Monday, 20 June 2011 by Speed, source: Forbes
If we can believe Sony U.S. big shot Jack Tretton then a successor for the PS3 is far away from being released.

The man told Forbes that the company is currently completely focused on the PS3 and the Playstation Vita, the new handheld that was officially unveiled at E3.

He also believes their current console is still completely "cutting edge" and is only now getting up to speed:
PlayStation 3 is really just hitting its stride. And technologically, I don't think it's possible to provide any advancement beyond what we have.

What we've seen from the competition is trying to add features that already exist in PlayStation 3.

We invested heavily in that, we rolled a very heavy rock up a steep hill, through the launch period. But now I think that all pays off, and we've got a long run way behind it. So, I wouldn't look for any discussion of a next generation PlayStation for quite some time.
We can believe there is no need for a successor. That there are no improvements possible compared to the PS3 is a load of crap if you just look at what's possible on PC.

Nintendo of course is in a different situation as in 2012 they'll launch their new Wii U, while rumours are saying Microsoft will come with a successor to the X360 in 2013.

Tretton, however, isn't worried:
I think there's ground to be carved out for everybody. But I didn't see anything about Nintendo's announcement that said 'Oh, we'd better get working on rolling out a new PlayStation here pretty soon.

Our attitude is kind of 'welcome to the party.' If you're looking at being a multimedia entertainment device, if you're looking at high def gaming, that was 2006 for us.
Modest as always, but probably Nintendo is indeed playing on a different market, or at least a different part of the same market. He does forget Nintendo will be offering different experiences with their new controller.
