I do not think there will be a system titled Playstation 4 but i do believe sony will come out with something else in a couple years. There are talks about making all gaming systems with more user interactions just like the Wii is starting now with the controllers and other accessories. You can see that sony and microsoft were kinda skeptical about Nintendo's decisions at first but nothing but good reviews have followed the technology. I for one do not think Nintendo will disappear ANY time soon because they are usually the ones that start trends and technology. For example, the old Light Gun for Duck Hunt (classic) or the running pad that came back in the form of that dance revolution game. Eventually, Sony will see that this is the next step in gaming and will begin to develop a system revolving around that. Microsoft, i feel will step back from teh gaming market here in the next 5-10 years though. I think they will concentrate more on powerful computing again. In time, I think Nintendo will be the lead corp again just like they were when the Nintendo and Super Nintendo were out. It just takes them continuing to develop new technologies in teh manner that they do.

Whoever told you that is obviously a Nintendo fanboy because he has no idea what he's talking about. Is he the same guy that said Ken Kutaragi is a software guy? That obviously tells you that he knows nothing about the Playstation because Kutagi is credited with developing the architecture of the PSX, so that's why he's called the father of the Playstation. Also the fact that he said Nintendo will outsell all consoles forever should tell you that he's an idiot. What makes him think that Nintendo is going to be around forever. Sega had to go to the software business because the Dreamcast was a huge failure. It invested a lot of money in the DC, and when it failed, it pretty much wiped out Sega. The only way Sega could be profitable again was to get out of the hardware business. Use the funding for hardware development and use it toward software development. By all sales indication, the PS3 is a success. All the 60 gb at 600 bucks sold out. So, obviously 600 bucks isn't a big deal for most people.
People who thinks that the PS4 will cost 1200 is using extrapolation incorrectly. In order to extrapolate something, you need a lot of data, and so far, there's been only 3 Playstation models, which is not enough for extrapolation. The PSX is the same price as the PS2 when it launched (299.99).
Will there be a PS4? Sure. The video game industry is a thriving industry. For entertainment, it's #2 behind movies in profit. It might be able to overtake the movie industry. As long as there is not a collapse, like the early 80s, expect Sony to release a PS4. The Playstation name is a cash cow for Sony. It's the most profitable division for Sony, so don't expect it to go away any time soon.

The PS4 is already in the making. But it is not supposed to be finished until 2016! Personally I don't think Sony should be dumb enough to put all that money into another game system that they will just lose money on.

I honestly don't. My number one reason why I dont think their will be is because if the PS3 is 600.00, then the PS4 will be at least 800-1,000. It wouldnt be in the best intrest of Sony to develop such a costly system.
It will be at least 5 years before we even start hearing about a Ps4

Ya, I agree. No one ever acqused Sony of being overly bright. Remember their Beta Max recorders? They refused to recognize VHS even though Beta was a better format. Betas went the way of the doo doo bird and Playstation I feel will go the same way.

YES but that won't happen for a few years. Sony and Microsoft were expecting their game machines to have a life of about 5 years.

As long as people still like buying Christmas gifts for kids, kids like playing video games, and a nuclear holocaust doesn't happen, there will be a PlayStation 4 and probably a XBOX 720. lol

hopefully after 6 years or something just like Ps2 to Ps3, and it better be better then the Ps3.....games wise; czu Ps3 games basically suck and the one that were good are now under Xbox and also the Ps3 is really expensive so it should be cheaper next time.

Playstation 4 is going to come out in ten years, and you won't control graphics...you'll control real people.
