(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ever since videogame website MCV published a rumor story about the PlayStation 4 premiering at E3 2012, rumors and speculation to the contrary have been coming out, including that from industry analyst Michael Pachter, which stated that he thinks "there's zero chance of a tease from Sony for PlayStation 4" at E3.

And now, word has come out from Sony itself that PlayStation 4 won't be shown at E3.

Speaking at a "roundtable with reporters" at CES (as reported by The Wall Street Journal), Sony's Kaz Hirai answered a question about the PlayStation 4 showing up at this year's E3. "Andy (House) is absolutely right in that we are not making any announcements at E3. I've always said a 10-year life cycle for PS3, and there is no reason to go away from that."

That essentially puts MCV's report to rest, though there's plenty of time for things to change between now and E3 2012.

I wasn't expecting it anyway, way to many people got there hopes up when they should have known better. The PS3 has a shit load of life left.

I wasnt expecting that, hoping for Xbox "720" then

I don't think so. sony never upgrade any major issues with the ps3. im starting to get sick of waiting 10 min for trophies to synch and hours for patches to download. there's a lot of other stuff but i'm not bothered gettin into it. I was lookin forward to the ps4

Maybe its your internet?

good to know. I'm not ready to 'upgrade' soon

Yay! Now I can safely get a vita and the Wii U this year then if the U hits this year I hope it makes a holiday appearance.
