Thread: PS4 to Arrive with Next-Gen Consoles from Competitors

PlayStation Europe CEO Jim Ryan recently stated to Eurogamer that PS4 will probably arrive at the same time as Next-Gen XBox and Nintendo consoles.

I think we would consider it undesirable to be significantly later than the competition [with the next PlayStation]."

He also noted, however, that there is still a lot of life left in the PS3 and explained:

"If you look at PlayStation 2, now in excess of 150m units installed globally, a huge majority of that was done at price points of £120 or lower.

We've only just hit £199 in the UK [with the PS3] so clearly there's a considerable untapped part of the market there."

I can't wait until there is a $99 PS3.
because then the traded in ones will be around €35 if it follows the trend of the PS1 and 2
I actually bough my first PSone for €65 and bought the same model a few months back for €2 in a charity shop

ps3 is £160 for a slim 160gb at sainsburys limited time offer i think, uk

I'm guessing they are moving towards selling larger capacity consoles.
maybe they will break 1TB before the PS4 is announced.

Isn`t the next gen of XBox coming out next year? I Hope that article is wrong :| I just bought my PS3 3.55 FW X_X! + Aren`t there many games unreleased / planned for PS3 still?

yes, there are still games being released for PS2.
I doubt there will be a new xbox console for sale in 2012

even if the ps4 comes out in 'next year' that is still a years worth of fun for my ps3!!! one thing i know is i will be preordering it, because the older your hardware, the easier it is to 'custom.'

it's not like it will be hard to get an old version. and the change stopping modding is usually released after the actual exploit.

PS3 consoles still have a lot of mileage up to this day.
