Ken Kutaragi was retired. For all intent and purposes he is merely a figure head now. He maintains a honorary position. You will see him occasionally at public events, and the rest of the time you will find him feeding ducks at the park, or collecting dust in a private corner office. A testament as to how Sony feels about his Playstation plans. So I would not take his plans as gospel.
Sony has to determine the risk reward ratio. The situation has drastically changed over the past few years. Now Sony taking another risk after this console generation is not a given. Consoles have become risky business. Considering that a publisher must spend massive amounts of money in the form of start up capitol. Microsoft is not going anywhere, and neither is Nintendo. Nintendo will be flush with cash, and Microsoft has shown the world a serious commitment. Can Sony take another risk or would they even want to.
Seven years is a long time, and we may be looking at a even larger investment by parties next time around. Hell the next war might introduce a unified console.
