PS4 by End of Year 2012?

Archive: 55 posts

According to quite a reputable site, Sony is already in production planning stages.

http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20110704PD202.html


I'm against it!

There's still WAY more life in the PS3 yet... and this is well short of the 10 year life span.
I doubt they will continue "full" support for a further 4 years, while simultaneously 'fully' supporting the PS4.

PS2 overlapped PS3's lifetime, so doubt they're gonna wait until the very end to jump to the next console, m8.
Besides, like the PS2, they're probably gonna keep supporting it for a few years after, maybe not as much as the new PS.

Besides, that's just a rumor/ speculation right now, it may very well be release until 2013 or 2014, you know?
You never know, besides, its the video game industries, delaying release from its estimated time is most common. 		2011-07-06 01:41:00

Yeah, you're probably right - even if they scheduled it for release end of 2012 - it'd probably still be delayed until 2016

There should be an overlap - but I would say it's still too early for the next console.
I mean, aren't developers complaining about the cost of development on the current consoles?
Making them spend even more developing their games doesn't seem like a good idea.
They haven;t even used the PS3 to it's full potential yet either.

I think they're just nervous about WIIU's impact		2011-07-06 01:46:00

I would love full PS3 support through 2013 at the earliest. It easily has more life than that, but as new, game-changing peripherals and mechanics surface, Sony sees new opportunities. Many of the new elements would not be cost effective or are not at all compatible with the current PS3. How great would a PS3.5 be? I know it wouldn't be as smart corporate-wise, but a more advanced system with PS3 compatibility would be great.2011-07-06 02:06:00

All I have to say is lol your gullible & if you really don't think it's true why make a thread about it? 2014 earliest. They just came out with PS Move late last year, got into their prime this year, & are going to be trying to set off 33 from now on & you think their next system is coming in a couple months lol.2011-07-06 02:36:00

That's kinda rude.
- First, he did think it to be plausible, he changed his mind after making the thread.
- Second, As you see, the move isn't the best attraction per say, and was mostly disregarded.
- Third, even if it was their "prime year" that only encourages them to make something new to top that "prime year.
- Fourth All of that doesn't matter anyways, Sony tends to try to get the latest technology as fast as possible, so if they got it done, they probably will launch it.
- Last, this year is 2011, he said by the end of 2012, so I don't know what you believe to be "a couple of months" but most of the people may agree a year and a half is more than just "a couple of months."		2011-07-06 03:00:00

It's common sense. I will put my life on my opinion over yours. Non are proven. I just know that through common sense this will not happen & think is funny that you think it will. I don't care if Sliver think its rude he says everything is rude he's still a square teen. Why do they need to make money of something today if they are still making good money off of yesterday?? I also said a couple of moths based off when Vita comes out too so you didn't read my whole post either. You guys always hate me on here for saying the harsh true you guys like to just hear what you want to hear. Baby stuff. In the end 360 does the best in the U-States & Wii does best in Japan I believe ps3 has systems to sell, more than any other in their generation & I think Sony knows that. I believe people are just thinking new systems will be out so soon because of the time span other new gaming systems came out. There have literally been 30+ bs stories on the new ps4 or xbox whatever coming out since 2011 & you all believe all of them. Also Sony & MS sourced themselves they would not release consoles before & 100+ sites since to debunk all the rumors like the one here today. Here way go again, another say. Honestly we have had such rumors like EA saying they had the new XBox before E3 & you guys still always believe. & I would believe ER3 before that site & never did.2011-07-06 03:13:00

Well, thanks for telling me what I think - I wasn't sure until you clarified it for me

It doesn't matter how many claims were made previously - eventually one of them is going to be true, this is the most recent one - so it has more chance of being true than all of the previous "False-Alarms" (none of which I took seriously).

For a start - lets look at the source of this latest PS4 claim;

It's not from some rumour mill gaming website - it's from an industry magazine, and it's the component manufacturers posting their projected work-load.
Now, why would the component manufacturers who made the PS3 say they were making the PS4? Was it to throw everyone off the scent? a wildly elaborate prank on a trusted industry news source?

The problem with common sense - is that it's not very common.
Both Sony and Microsoft have many reasons why they would deny they are about to release a new console. And Sony have good reason to want to get their foot on the next rung on the console ladder far ahead of microsoft... It would be a massive one-up-manship for Sony if they were to release their next gen console a year or two before Microsoft. And both of them are going to have to do something quickly to counter the WiiU.

So couple that with the component manufacturers basically confirming that they are in the process of making the new consoles and it's pretty much confirmed. It doesn't require too much of a common sense deficiency to suppose that it may very well be true.

I guess we'll find out by end of year 2012
THEN I WILL CLAIM YOUR LIFE> MWAHAHAHAHA (or not) 		2011-07-06 04:07:00

Saw this news a couple of days ago, was waiting to see who would create a thread for it

We can approach this from a few of angles:

Reasons it will NOT launch in 2012

1. PS Vita. Sony is already launching new hardware this year (and it may not even launch in all territories simultaneously indicating a 2012 release in some countries (http://gnn.com.ng/2011/06/13/ps-vita-might-miss-holiday-launch-for-pal-territories-japan/) The Vita will boast new connectivity features with the PS3 essentially doing what the Wii U does with it's fancy controller. Also taking into consideration the MOVE which was only released last fall, Sony will be poised to offer everything the competition does and more.

2. The Cell processor. I don't think many people understand or appreciate how powerful the PS3 is and what it is capable of. Every year the bar is raised and it is no secret that the full potential of the machine has not been tapped. All this translates into the PS3 still having plenty of shelf life left and more then able to compete with the competition.

3. “Hitting it’s stride”. For the past 3 years Jack Trentton has said the PS3 is “just hitting it’s stride” (most recently at this years E3 conference) and Kaz Hirai said PS4 will not be coming “anytime soon” in February http://bit.ly/q5E7HA With the PSN debacle still fresh in everyone’s minds and the global economy in a slump, it really wouldn’t make sense for Sony to launch a new console in 2012.

Reasons it MIGHT launch in 2012

1. Playing catch up. Sony has been playing catch up with the 360 ever since it’s launch. If Sony were to release during holiday 2012 with an official unveiling at E3, it could give them a big edge in the next “console war” and serve as a brilliant stealth attack on M$ (assuming they won’t announce a new console too). It would also put the PS4 in direct competition with the Wii U during the lucrative holiday season.

2. Price Cut. Rumors are flying that another PS3 price cut is on the horizon http://gamersheep.com/2011/06/ps3-price-cut-imminent/ This could be perceived as a last hurrah for the PS3’s global sales and possibly an indicator that Sony is ready to move on (although I really don’t think so).

At this point everything is speculation. I predicted Sony would launch the PS4 holiday 2013 although I would be happier with holiday 2014. I do not want or need another Playstation at the moment and I am sure most PS fanboys feel the same way. Ultimately I do NOT think it will launch in 2012 and I really hope I am right 		2011-07-06 13:20:00

So when did you start working for Sony then? Beause one would have to assume that working for them is the only way you could possibly be so sure of yourself.

And while you may think Silver is a 'square' teen, what are you? Because you most certaintly aren't a mature adult. You can't even spell half the words you typed... People don't 'hate' you for telling the 'harsh truth' on here, they hate you because you tell us your 'harsh truths' in an arrogant and ignorant manner.

I'd also like to point out that the end of 2012 is more than a 'couple of months' off, and it is quite plausible that they will release one then - last time they waited until after the Xbox was launched and lost out because of it - what makes you so sure they won't attempt to reverse that this time?

No one here can claim to know exactly when it will launch, but I'd put more faith in an article from a reputable source than I would a condescending idiot on the internet who acts like he knows it all.		2011-07-06 13:22:00

Okay, here's my crazy little theory. It'll be released on the 20th of December 2012... I think you already know where I'm going from here. The combined AI of the PS4s will completely annihilate the Earth. Ummm... that's it? The Mayans foresaw it you see. Let me explain:

Mayan Citizen 1: Hey, what's your name... YOU! Anyone there? MOSHI MOSHI?! Did I mention you're an idiot?
Mayan Citizen 2: Don't call me an idiot. What do you want anyway...?
Mayan Citizen 1: Now that I've got your attention... It's your turn to write out the next portion of the calendar.
Mayan Citizen 2: WHAT?! Dude, I can't be bothered, get someone else to do it.
Mayan Citizen 1: The last time you contributed anything was, lemme see... 5 b'ak'tun ago! That's ages."
Mayan Citizen 2: Well, look at it this way. I'm pwning randoms on Halo. I'm not getting up and I'm not helping with your stupid calendar. So you're wasting your time.
Mayan Citizen 1: Your gaming addiction will destroy the world someday, you know that?
Mayan Citizen 2: Yeah, yeah, whatever. Do you know what would be awesome? Just leaving it like that, like it's the end of the world or somethin', somethin'... think of a catchier name we could use.
Mayan Citizen 1: How about The End of Days?
Mayan Citizen 2: Sounds pretty good.
Mayan Citizen 1: But seriously, do you think they'd actually fall for something THAT stupid? I mean, there's dumb, and then there's DUMB...
Mayan Citizen 2: Oh well. It's worth a try.
Mayan Citizen 1: I guess so.

True story that. 		2011-07-06 23:04:00

Nah, just jossing with ya


I'm skeptical too wether it will actually come out by End of Year 2012 - but what is certain (if we can trust the source - which the tech industry does & none of it's previous reports on PlayStation Manufacture were false) is that the component manufacturers will be starting production of components for the PS4 by End of Year 2011.

Make of that what you will.		2011-07-07 04:58:00

i only just saw the post but im pretty sure that sony have no plans to release another console anytime in the near future. but that i mean next year lol. they already said this! the main focus for sony at the moment is to add more features to the ps3 and enhance its move and 3D gaming. and of course the PS VITA.

that being said...sony is a big company so there is no denying the fact that they most probably are in the research and development phase of a next gen console. definitely not in production and before that is a prototype and the definitely is no prototype. so until its officially announced by sony then anything is quite simple rumors and nothing more.		2011-07-09 13:16:00

Right, but this is a rumour from a 3rd party company that will be directly involved in the making of the PS4 - not just a rumour mill gaming website (where most rumours are generated from);


But even Sony is not a trusted source on this issue;
They have said recently both;
"?a near-future PS4 or next-generation home console is not something that we are even debating now?
AND
"For the home equipment the PS3 still has a product life, but this is a platform business, so for the future platform ? when we?ll be introducing what product I cannot discuss that ? but our development work is already under way, so the costs are incurred there."

So what do these statements tell us?
They tell us that Sony are not the best source for this kind of information, because they frequently contradict themselves - and are known to lie about upcoming releases (in an attempt to 'keep them under wraps&apos


There is definately a PS4 on the way... that much is certain.

How early is "too early" for the release?
End of 2012 would be too early for the consumer - but by 2013, it may be too late for Sony - especially if Microsoft announce the Xbox 720 at next years E3 (which quite a few market analysts suspect they might).

So it would make sense for Sony to have the console ready for Christmas 2012.
Back compatibility would solve the lack of new titles for the new console - and means they can stick with their Move/3D/Vita support schedule.		2011-07-11 12:57:00

Hmm....

The article did actually say end of 2011 - but I reckon it seems a little too soon. I think I'd just wait it out - I'm sure a company like Sony will give us months of warning themselves before producing anything like that - it's not like it'll be a "Guess what? Releasing tomorrow!" kind of thing.

Besides, think of E3 and all the games they were talking about being released next year etc. I reckon if it was going to be released by the end of this year (or next), they'd have given us some warning.

Anyway, that site - no matter how trusted it is - seemed to have very little information which makes me doubt the credibility of the article a little. If it was true, I can't help but think they'd have written more than two paragraphs.

Yeah, but the lack of info can also be taken a few ways;
Either A) The source is unreliable and just making it up (but being an industry insider magazine, it seems unlikely that they would report on unfounded rumour from an unreliable source... it would only damage their reputation for reliable reporting - if you go and look at their history for reporting facts about the PS3 - it was always accurate)

or B) they can't say more because it needs to be hush hush (which is why the source in unattributed - they would get in trouble if they were found to be releasing sensitive information)

Or C) It is still too early in the production stages to 'have' more info than what was given.

There are probably a few other interpretations aswell.... but as rumour sources go, this isn't a 'rumour-mill'.
So while it can be taken with a pinch of salt - you might want to have some ketchup ready aswell 		2011-07-11 16:25:00

Yeah, I thought that the Xbox still had much more shelf life when they released the 360 -
And just look what happened when M$ released early - the Console was so poorly designed it breaks ALL the time (I'm now on my 7th Xbox 360 )

I would much rather Sony take their time making a decent console - and there was actually a reason for the upgrade - rather than it just being a race to get their next gen console to market first... it will inevitably be a rushed job		2011-07-12 15:56:00

Agreed. I absolutely loved my XBOX, it was easily the best out of the three, I reckon Microsoft lost a huge amount of cash actually, as hen the PS3 came out, I was a hardened XBOX fanboy and even I thought it looked incredible.		2011-07-12 16:02:00

I don't want a PS4 this soon. Although to be fair, if Sony announced that they would begin development tomorrow, we still wouldn't have it for a good 6 years. At the earliest.

And yes, I realize that no company would announce that they were starting development on a new console. As that would be really stupid.		2011-07-16 03:28:00

Let's not forget that it's also killing driving games.

Driving games used to always be about offline, trying repeatedly to get the best line, now he genre is being forced online and hammered because of the way it works, FPS' are designed for online, driving games aren't.		2011-07-19 11:54:00

FPS' are designed for online, driving games aren't.

What? If by driving games you mean racing games, then there probably isn't a game format that is more suited for competing online...

Modern online FPSs have had a bigger format change (to become suitable for online play) from their traditional predecessors than Racing games have.		2011-07-19 13:22:00

Wrong.

Driving games are more suited to online but their core premise was, and always will be offline.

People don't give a **** about offline anymore, so they go straight to online where there are loading screens all over the place and long waiting times for lobbies.

people want instant success, that's what shooters give. Driving games are about perseverance, and finding that one magic line on that one magic lap. Online is sheer luck in most driving games, and THAT is why online is killing them off. 2 brilliant driving game devs closing in one year? Maybe that might not tell you something, but it sure tell me something.		2011-07-20 09:50:00

I hope they don't go too far down the "Motion Controls" rabbit-hole.

For most games, I don't want to be standing in front of my TV jumping up & down like an idiot.
Even having to keep your arm raised for more than 15 minutes is a pain.		2011-07-20 12:19:00

Quite frankly, I don't even know why they went back to motion gaming. Yeah I understand that they had to compete with Microsoft and Nintendo, but it is doing just as bad as it did on the PS2. I don't give them very long with the motion controls business. As for this PS4 junk the best games are just starting to emerge, so it'd be a really bad business move since the global economy just isn't ready to shell out 400+ dollars again.		2011-07-20 12:37:00

The core premise of Racing isn't racing? OKaaay.

Oh yes, it is, but it's racing with skill and mastering different elements, yet the winner always seems to be a player who hasn't touched the SP.		2011-07-20 13:04:00

The one "Move" thing I'm looking forward to is the LBP2 Move DLC;
I mean, I actually bought the move controller in preperation for LBP2 - only to be severely disappointed with the crappy Prehistoric Moves demo you get with LBP2.
I was expecting the kind of functionality they are only now introducing with the Move DLC.

But hopefully, the purchase will *finally* pay off.



If they made the PS4 completely Back Compatible with the PS3 - I may be tempted to upgrade sooner.

Apparently it's going to be announced at next years E3;
Which could also put it into the "End of Year 2012" time period.

If Sony aren't going to release their next console soon, then they'd better hurry it up. 		2011-07-20 17:28:00

And make something neat. But not neat as in neat, REALLY neat!

If MS is announcing the super-duper last-gen pwnz0rz console, I wonder what will Sony announce... Unless MS was hiding this udner the sleeve and waiting for a desperate moment to use it as final resort! 		2011-07-20 17:40:00

It didn't stop Microsoft from releasing the Xbox 360 early in order to be "first to market" with their console - effectively killing of the original Xbox

Microsoft are also advertising for jobs to work on "Core 3D graphics programming/Hardware Architects";
The current Xbox 360 is not 3D compatible -so the Xbox 720 definitely will be.

Now, If you were Sony, and you knew that one of your biggest rivals was about to release a new console - you would be doing your shareholders a disservice by not releasing your next console as early as feasibly possible. In fact, your shareholders may sue you if you didn't!		2011-07-20 18:44:00

Don't know if this has been posted, but sony-microsoft.com and microsoft-sony.com have been reserved by Microsoft.

Otherwise for PS4, I have to keep reposting the same video:

Avatar was a $%!* movie with **** graphics. When I watched it 3-D it looked like the go******** hologram material in LBP2. Microsoft should be going for Blu-ray, at least that looks good!
