The PS3 might be five years old, but Sony remains unconcerned as the manufacturer ramps up for the impending release of the NGP. Still citing the 10-year lifecycle for the PS3, Sony remains committed to the current platform.
The PS3 might be five years old, but Sony remains unconcerned as the manufacturer ramps up for the impending release of the NGP. Still citing the 10-year lifecycle for the PS3, Sony remains committed to the current platform.
Speaking to PC Watch, Sony’s Kaz Hirai stated that the PS3 is nowhere close to wrapping up as a product. “We’re not even at the halfway point,” Hirai says. “Every year, we reveal and release new features.”
With the PS3 and NGP showing such promise, Sony has essentially balked at the production and development of a PS4. “That’s why, we’re not deliberating on a PS4 or a next generation machine, whatever you call it,” Hirai insists.
Given the fact that the PS2 continues to sell among some consumers, and the PS3 has gained momentum in the last couple years, the likelihood of a PS4 being offered any time soon is essentially zero at this point.
