So as most of us know, Sony have now started to work on a new console, obviously going to be called the PS4 I heard a Rumor that it isn't going to be made and released until 2014 but you can't trust rumors! Disappointingly, Sony have admitted that they aren't going to invest nearly as much money as they did for the PS3, which means it may not even be as good.
During an investor briefing, CFO Masaru Kato noted that:

reduced PS3 manufacturing costs had helped Sony over the past year. With that in mind, it is no longer thinkable to have a huge initial financial investment like that of the PS3."
Kato responded to a question from an investor about R&

costs by admitting that a new console was at least it Sony's thoughts.
He said:

"For the home equipment the PS3 still has a product life, but this is a platform business, so for the future of the platform, when will we introduce it? What product? I cannot discuss that. But development is already underway."
Yesterday, Sony had a reported profit of £267.4 million from their online network product and services. ("Sales revenue growing at 0.4%). This is a lot better than the previous year's £625.6 million
loss. This probably shows why Sony have decided to do this.
So if Sony decide to keep the investment small, will the PS4 actually be better than the PS3? Tell me what you think!
