It's possible that how the PlayStation 3 fares in the current console war may also determine the release date of the PS4, for a couple of reasons. If the system continues to flounder in 3rd place in the console wars, failing to generate the revenue which was initially expected of it, Sony may be far more eager to cut their losses and rush the PS4 to market sooner rather than later, possibly as early as 2012.
If the PS3 does indeed fail to make ground on the Wii and Xbox 360, it may also convince Sony to try and jump the gun on the next generation console wars and get their system out the door first. Both the PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2, which dominated their generations of the console wars, came to market at the same time or earlier than their competition. The PlayStation 1 was launched just after the Sega Saturn, and well before the Nintendo 64, while the PlayStation 2 was released before both the Xbox and Nintendo Gamecube.
This enabled Sony to get a head start on the competition and gave developers time to build their skills at developing games for the console, to the point that even as more powerful consoles came after, games released on the older system were just as good technically, providing no real incentive for players to move to the new consoles.
This same effect has worked against the PlayStation 3 to some extent, as though considered to be far more powerful than the Xbox 360, the one year head start the 360 received has allowed developers to more quickly maximize the system's potential, resulting in games that rivaled games on the PS3 when it released. Only as the system's life spans come to an end will we likely see the PlayStation 3 come out with games that clearly trump what the 360 can do graphically.
How Sony plans to play their hand is cause for much speculation. What we do know is that the PlayStation 4 is coming sooner than we may think, and it will take gaming to a whole new level. |

Feels like I just got my PS3.
I can tell it'll be my last console purchase. It will serve me well for many years. After it stops being supported, I am going to switch to PC gaming. Well, so long as fate permits. |

Huh, same here, actually. Thought I was the only one. Nothing against the PS3, but I wish I'd dropped $120 on a decent memory card instead of $300 on a new game system. |

So what you're saying is that if I want all my current games to remain fully supported and new titles to be released for the system I already use and possess I should go out Black Friday and pick up a bunch of PS3s to give as gifts for xmas?
Will do, because the longer I can delay the removal of full support from the PS3 in favor of a system I may or may not decide to own (and which at present isn't slated to be retro compatible), the better pleased I'll be.
Guess I'll go see if I can't net new beta players for Dust by giving that bundle as a gift  |
