Sony (and Microsoft) is facing a problem where their sales performance has started to cause rumors that they will be releasing a new console within a short period of time (under 2 years). Sony has to battle these rumors because few people are going to be willing to buy a gaming system (in particular an expensive gaming system) if they believe that it will soon be replaced by something better. Sony (probably) will remain in the videogame industry for one more generation (at least) and is currently working on their next generation system; after all it takes several years to design a system and game developers need a couple of years notice to produce games for the system's launch.
