Forbes.com has written up a piece on the playstation 4 here. There’s not really anything new talked about, just a general discussion of the industry and guestimates of timelines.

When it comes down to it, once one of the big players of Nintendo, Microsoft or Sony, make the move of releasing their next gen console, the others are going to have to follow suit if they want to remain competetive in the marketplace

Updated Playstation 3 by next year?

An Aussie tech website has apparently been talking to a Sony insider, who revealed that a new version of the Playstation could be here in under 18 months. However this next playstation would still be based on the same chipset in the Playstation 3 but would have a different “drive bay and attachment area” and additional media center like software. So it wouldn’t be a real next generation Playstation 4 but just a refresh of the PS3.

Sony denided the rumours as expected, but an updated PS3 down the track is not out of the question

Having a streak of tech geekiness can be a horrible curse at times. Not a moment has passed since the release of the playstation 3 and already the questions are popping up about release dates for the ps4.

The earliest estimated release date of the Playstation 4 is 2010, as said by Paul Holman (Sony’s VP of Technology). The stated reason for this is “Sony will introduce a series of firmware upgrades that will give the PS3 more media centre capability while allowing for the introduction of third party applications and hardware ’such as interactive controllers’ similar to the Nintendo Wii”

Even if Sony wanted to delay the ps4 as long as possible, not doubt Microsoft is working on a successor to the XBox 360, and Sony wont want be lose is postion as the premier console system when the next-gen console race heats up.
