Rumors surrounding the next generation of video game consoles are coming more and more quickly as talk of the Xbox 720 picked up in the second half of 2011. But if Sony Computer Entertainment President Andrew House has anything to do with it, a PS4 isn?t even a twinkle in Sony?s eye yet.
Ahead of?much PS4 speculation over the past week, House told CVG at Japan?s December PS Vita launch that the electronics firm is ?just entering into this great period for PS3?.
He said: ?I don?t think we?re contemplating talking about anything to do with future console iterations at this point.
?But one thing I always point to is that, somewhat in contrast to our major competitors, we have, particularly with PS2, managed the length of the lifecycle and ensured its profitability for our publishing partners for a much longer lifecycle than has been true of the competition.
?I would say that?s in part because of the global reach of Sony from a distribution, infrastructure and marketing standpoint. Because in many markets, we work alongside really long-standing, established operations in electronics, we?re able to migrate out into rather more emerging markets much more easily and sustainably than is possible for some of our competitors.?
This isn?t particularly surprising actually. The PS3 still has a lot of breathing room. There aren?t really any games on the market that push the hardware as far as it can go. Even with the Wii U coming out next year and talk of the Xbox 720 in the air, there?s little to suggest that Sony needs to be in any hurry.
I?m betting that we get a solid announcement from Microsoft on their next-gen console sometime this year, but Sony doesn?t make anything official until 2013. Then we see a new console from Microsoft in 2014 and Sony close on its heels in 2015.
All of which is still a long ways off. We?re likely to have Obamacare health insurance before we?re playing any next generation content on either Xbox or PlayStation.
