Sony on a New PlayStation: "Right Now, We're Focused on PS3"
Jack Tretton on PS4... it's not coming yet.
Sony's USA CEO Jack Tretton has firmly and frankly put this foot down (with a firm hand) on any idea that a PS4 will be coming this year.
"...right now, we're focused on PlayStation 3, and I've got another platform (PlayStation Vita) to get out the door in seven days, so I don't want to be thinking about trying to launch new technology anytime soon. I want to focus all our energy on our console business, which is really just hitting its stride, and Vita, which really deserves a dedicated push from us", he states in a sensible manner.
So, excluding dystopian, post-Apocalyptic future scenarios, when is the inevitable next PlayStation home console? Jack explains that, "In terms of when you talk about (the next generation) and when you announce it, it really depends on the health of the existing platform and the other things you have going on."
Bear in mind those '...other things you have going on' next time you're asked about a deadline. It's official business practice apparently.
As for Jack himself, "I, quite frankly, would be very distracted if I had to be talking about next generation hardware this year," insinuating that PlayStation 4, in line with rumors supporting it, wouldn't be seen or heard from in 2012."
