Those saying PlayStation is dead. I do not think it is, I.personally think Sony needs to change its priorities. With PS4 Sony should aim simply to outperform nextbox by a very small margin. Sony's PSOne was less powerful then its.competitors and PS2 was slightly more powerful then Dream cast. PSP, PS3 and PSVita all three are super powers and guess what all three struggled. Even PS3's recovery came at such a high financial cost it wasn't worth it.
PS4 should launch at a profit. Sony should focus entirely on finances and software sales. PSVita should and likely will be the last handheld dedicated console Sony will use PlayStation for future phones instead of another handheld.
If Sony can release a profitable piece of hardware at launch with software support then Sony can return the PlayStation brand to long term sustainability. Let me ask what good did that cell processor do Sony financially? None it didn't even get PS3 a superior market share. All that money Sony threw at it and it did very little good.
For PS4 I think it should be a standard classic system. No Kinetic knock off no tablet just a regular PS3 controller. Maybe add some of the Vita's hardware like the touch pad. The console on par power wise with nextbox but sold 50$ cheaper. This way Sony turns a much larger profit then Microsoft and likely Nintendo all while having the graphical power of their greatest competitor. Sony can use its software and slight graphical edge to compete.
