Sony has recently revealed that it definitely won’t be playing catch up next time, with regards to the console wars that will most likely be happening throughout 2012.
Unlike previous Sony and Microsoft releases, such as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 which happened almost a year apart from each other, it’s very likely that both the Sony PlayStation 4 and Xbox 720 will be released at around the same time.
PlayStation Europe CEO Jim Ryan said: “I think we would consider it undesirable to be significantly later than the competition [with the next PlayStation].”
He did mention that there is still a lot of life left in the PlayStation 3 though, “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.”
