This is only in the rumor stages. Nonetheless, there seems to be leaked information pertaining to the PS4. Foxxcon and Pegatron technology, the two manufacturing companies that handle the production of the PS3, have claimed they are also in the process of producing parts for the PS4.
According to these two Japanese manufacturers, the PS4 is estimated to be released in 2012. I would say it is safe to assume it would release nearer to the end of the year in order to get a boost in sales for the holidays. These companies also report that Sony plans on shipping 20 million consoles around the world, before the end of 2012.
What is even more interesting is the fact that both sources have stated they are producing hardware which will emulate the features from Microsoft's Kinect peripheral. If these claims are true then it will be interesting to see how Sony will be incorporating it's move controllers with the movement recognition features.
Just as any other claim, these have very little information confirming they are true, but it will be interesting to find out how much truth they hold. It would not be very surprising if the PS4 is to come in 2012, as Sony seems to be putting this next generation console on the fast track after the Jailbreak phenomenon and the infamous hacking of the Playstation Network.
So do you think that the Playstation 4 will be coming in 2012? Do you think that if it does, will it be likely it will include the body control features that emulate Kinect? Do you think the market is ready for the PS4 or should Sony concentrate on the PS3 for a bit longer?
They should wait till better technology is out. If they release before the next Microsoft console, Microsoft could just do a spec jump of what the ps4 is and get better sales.
Sony needs to maintain it's HW leadership, so a new gen PS4 makes sense. Hopefully they will continue to invest in improvin the PSN, as this has been long overdue.
I dont think the PS4 will be released in 2012 either maybe 2014... Also Im really getting sick of having to buy a new
console every few years. Thats why a lot of people prefer PC, that and cause of the better graphics. Also about that 6 year thing... IDK tricky... But if Sony does release it 2012 that seems like a stupid move. All the games that are coming out soon... The PSN crash...The Japan Earthquake. Just seems like a wrong time you know?
