(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Everybody has their opinions on when they think the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will get their successors. The predicitions have become even more numerous now that Nintendo has already unveiled the Wii U.



Sony, for its part, has constantly been emphasizing that it's not yet the right time for a PlayStation 4. According to Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida, that time will come when developers can no longer squeeze anything extra from the PS3.



"Looking at the platform cycle, when the platform becomes something game developers are not able to improve their creations with, that's the time we have to really seriously consider shifting to the next generation," Yoshida told gaming news site Eurogamer.



"So as long as we and our developers can create new experiences that are more exciting to consumers, I see no need to transition into newer generation," he explained. "As far as we are concerned, we have no desire now to do that [release a new home console]."



We've heard mixed reactions from developers and publishers to the advent of a new PlayStation home console, with some supporting Sony's "it's not yet time" stance while others are complaining about the lack of RAM in the PS3. With the PS3's sales going strong thanks to the recent price cut, it really might be a while before we even hear of anything concrete about the next Sony console.

If Sony could just retro-fit 2GB Ram(1Gb ea. CPU/GPU) and Wireless N, the console would be fine for another 5 ,maybe 10 yrs.

The fact is that Sony don't have money to release a new console yet, because they didn't earn as much money on the PS3 as they thought they would. They've earned back the money they lost, but they don't have enough money to release a new one in the nearest future.

I think we have to wait some more years, but I really don't see the problem about that. I have seen some people complaining about the console-graphics and saying they are outdated, but I still think the graphics are pretty awesome. PC-graphics can't beat the feeling about sitting in front of a full HD 50-inch flat-screen and awesome speakers!

I'm not even ready for a PS4, I'm still enjoying my PS3 and with lots of great titles coming out the PS3 it is all good for the next 3 or more years I'd say.

I don't think there is a need for a ps4 because no game has pushed the ps3 to the absolute limit.
