If the rumors are true then the PlayStation 4 gaming console will be out in 18 months. The supposed source of the rumors is said to be trustworthy and reliable. Sony didn’t want to comment on the issue. Some see it as true while others doubt that the company would release a new console within that period.
The PS3 was launched in 2006, which is just five years into Sony’s ten-year cycle. The PS2, which was launched in 2000, is still enjoying some success even though it is an 11 year old console. Some game publishers are still putting out PS2 versions of their new games. People still buy the PS2 because it is inexpensive and has a large catalog of titles.
The only reason why the PS2 is not leading in the console market is because of the arrival of HD games as well as online gaming. But there are gamers that don’t mind the lack of online notifications and Achievements because it lets them focus on the game more.
The PS3 is still on top of its game although it is trailing behind the Xbox 360 in Western territories. It is the leader in Japan and there are lots of exclusive PS3 titles that proved to be bestsellers. People agree that there’s no need for new tech at this point in time.
