Of course, he did not put it in the same words, but essentially, that's the message of his statement. According to Gibeau, there's still much left to be had from the PlayStation 3.



"It's hard for me to conceive what you would do on a PlayStation 4. The displays are already 1080p, you're already connected to the Internet. You could make it faster, you could have more ploys and you could up the graphics a little bit... but at what cost?



It'll be interesting to see how [Sony and Microsoft] think about it in terms of the next generation but it seems to me that customers are happy, and we're happy to build games on [360 and PS3] right now."



He also expressed his opinions on how console transitions have evolved today, nothing that the days of "big, abrupt changes" are inevitably a thing of the past.



"They're much longer, the online capabilities are making the way customers interact within the audience very difference from when we went from PSOne to PS2."



On a final note, he reiterated his preference for this cycle to last a bit longer. "I don't see consumers right now banging on the walls for a new platform. They seem to be very happy with their PS3s and Xbox 360s. They love the online connectivity, they have great communities and great libraries.



I like the fact that Nintendo's coming in with new hardware. That'll help really rev up their business for the HD side, which is where we're in a really good position."

no point of a ps4 until the games become too good for the ps3 which will be a very long time
