PS4 Equals Media Hype

As most of you probably already know the legend Ken Kutaragi, the retiring chief executive of Sony Computer Entertainment, said in an interview that "As a matter of course, I have the vision of PlayStation 4, 5 and 6, which will merge into the network,". Never did Mr. Kutaragi say that the PlayStation 4 was coming out in 18 months. Mr. Kutaragi did say however that a PS3 will come out that will differ from the current version in the drive bay and in the attachment area. Along with these, we'll assume upgrades, there will be an extensive software suite that will widen the media center capabilities of the PS3.

What mentioned above screams PS4? To me it seem the media twisted and combined Mr. Kutaragi's words around so that the title that read something like "PS4 In 18 Months" could be put at the top. Sony has always released versions of the PlayStation that differs from the original and perhaps this may be more of an upgrade than what we are use to seeing but by no means does this mean a PS4 is coming in the near future. This type of upgrading seems to be the next and nature evolution for consoles. No longer are console's satisfied with having their PC counter-parts evolve and upgrade dozens of times over their life-cycles. Instead the consoles are fighting back and becoming upgradeable and evolving as well, as long as the current PS3 chip set is being used the console will always be a PS3.
