Will there be a PS4?

After spending lord-knows how much money developing the Cell processor, and losing a nice chunk on each PS3 sold these days, I am guessing that Sony executives might be kicking themselves in their cushy executive seats right now. They're not moving consoles and their software library is looking pretty dismal indeed. While professional "analysts" are predicting that the PS3 will take the lead in the console wars several years from now, I'm not too confident in their projections, and even then, they might not make enough back to see a profit in the end. There is no way any software title is going to sell as many consoles as Halo 3 will probably end up selling, and that includes MGS4 and FF13, which I am convinced are more niche games compared to Halo's mainstream appeal. After all this trouble, as a Sony shareholder I would think to myself, is it worth making a PS4?

I started to stay away from this thread and many like it but I have to come on out and say it.

No, there will not be a PS4.

The PS3 will be dead by or within the year 2009 and Sony with its tremendous losses spent into this costly project will exit the videogame business.

I didn't want to say it because all it does is stir up mess but somebody has to prepare people for what's going to happen. Just enjoy your games regardless of what happens. Sony is in tailspin right now and that's the simple out and out facts.

They shoulda never got caught up in this game of chicken with Microsoft. Microsoft played them.
