Hardware No PS4 at E3-2012

[yusuo]

Sony said it does not plan on making an announcement about a new home console at this year’s E3 videogame trade show, deflating expectation that a successor to its PlayStation 3 will be on its way soon.

Kaz Hirai, who oversees Sony’s videogame and consumer electronics businesses, said the company always viewed PlayStation 3, which debuted in 2006, as a product with a 10-year life cycle and he sees no reason to rush to replace it with a new system.

The E3 trade show, slated this year for early June in Los Angeles, is an event where many videogame console makers reveal plans for upcoming systems. Historically, new game machines are announced about every five years so there has been a lot of speculation that a new PlayStation may be unveiled at this year’s E3.

During a roundtable with reporters at the Consumer Electronics Show, a reporter asked a question to Hirai attributing comments to the head of its videogame division, Andrew House, that there would be no announcement about a PlayStation 4 at the show.
Hirai, who appointed House for the job, said they are not talking about a new home console now and that they don’t plan to do so at E3.

“Andy (House) is absolutely right in that we are not making any announcements at E3,” Hirai said. “I’ve always said a 10-year life cycle for PS3, and there is no reason to go away from that.”

There you go people, Kaz Hirai states there is going to be no PS4 unveiling at E3, sorry fanboys

Who really believed that rumour anyway?

Did people expect a PS4 this soon anyway. The PS3 is already a magnificent powerhouse.

Great
Good to see that there will not be a PS4 now i dont have to pay for a new one
but ofcource im gonna spend up money for it when its going to get released

It's not a bad thing.. gives me more time to save up for the PS4, especially since all my monies will be gone soon to the Vita and new 3DS games xP

Seeing how the ps3 was $800 when it first came out and is about $250 over the course of 5-6 years..i'm sure the ps4 would be about $1,500 at first and after a couple of years..the price may be dropped to about $1,000 that is still a huge amount of money. i wouldn't pay that much for a console when it could get stolen or maybe easily damaged

It was damaged when Sony decided to make the introduction price more than a car payment.
