(CNN) -- Gamers might have to wait at least another three years before there's any update to their Xbox or PlayStation consoles.

Prominent gaming news site Kotaku on Thursday quoted multiple unnamed sources saying both Sony and Microsoft hope to extend the life of the current generation of consoles for as long as possible.

"Both MS and Sony are telegraphing to each other that they're delaying, to milk the current [generation] and fill in previous craters better," said a source Kotaku described as an "insider who has worked with the first-party companies like Sony and Microsoft."

Other sources told the site that 2014 is the target date for the two companies, both of which rolled out significant updates to their gaming consoles in 2010.

Microsoft introduced its Kinect system and Sony introduced Move. Both motion-activated systems that were rolled out at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.

Such a delay would leave Nintendo as the only one of the big-three console makers expected to introduce a new product in the near future.

As Sony and Microsoft pushed their motion systems (in some ways an effort to catch up with Nintendo's motion-activated Wii) Nintendo stood pat in that space at E3. Instead, the company focused on software and its new handheld 3DS gaming system.

Observers expect Nintendo to announce, and possibly demo, an updated Wii at this year's E3.

As Kotaku notes, a wait until 2014 would make the Xbox 360 Microsoft's lead console for nine years and Sony's PlayStation 3 its top product for eight. That's an eternity in the world of consumer electronics.

Aww... i dont get it with the point of GoW Halo MG CoD GOW Kz

Nintendo always show up with the same ****ing game, you didn't see the last Nintendo E3 conference ? cuz everyone slept on it, a other mario, a other Dk, a other zelda.. BORING!!! And Xbox/PS3/PC got LA Noire, Dark Soul, Portal, And way more stuff... and your talking about CoD,Halo and other series... rofl!

Bad reply, better luck next time

well, if uts another 3 or 4 years then the shits better have holograms or im not buyin it

...And what state might that be? The PS3 is only like 3 million behind the 360 in worldwide sales. It's curbstomping the 360 in Japan and PAL regions. It's only a matter of time until it surpasses the 360 in worldwide sales. But I doubt it will outsell the 360 in the U.S.A. Americans love their generic fps games.

I meant hacked wise .. Not sales wise

Whats the point? The world is going to end on the 21st December 2012 so why announce a new one? Why dont they just release it that day?

PS3 doesnt need an new model (PS4) but XBOX3360 does all us PS3 gamers are held back by that shitbox with its stupidly tiny discs PS3 = next XBOX

It's quite funny because you don't see the point.

People like are you are always going to find something to bitch about, and act like what you have is better than what another does.

It's the typical 13-year-old mentality, and some people never grow out of it. But it's okay, I understand, kiddo.

what else could they add? to make the ps4 better than the 3
