highly doubt it sony has already said there was no announcment this year , especally when ps3 just started making a profit after 4 yrs of lost money. they hardly can afford to get a ps4 right now . and not with vita .
in fact thats another thing , if they announce ps4 that would hurt the Vita's thunder Remember how pokemon white killed 3ds's thunder well . thats exactly what will happen with vita because sony claimed this was gonna be almost on par with ps3 what happens when ps4 comes out . well the vita will be in the same place as psp was upon release |
Why would Sony want people to know to know there will be a PS4 announcement this year? Are they openly going to say "yes we will announce the PS4 this E3." Announcing it this year and launching it 2013 is not that bad of an idea.

Announcing it this year and releasing it next year would completely kill the PS3 sales during the holiday season, just like it happened with Wii. Announcing it early next year and releasing it within the same year is a much better alternative, unless they plan to release it in time for holiday 2012, they're just killing the PS3 sales unnecessarily, because everyone is aware that PS4 is coming, just no one's sure when without an official announcement. Those who want, will wait to see what PS4 has to offer in comparison with the next xbox and Wii U before making a purchase.

It wouldn't kill the PS3's sales, time is what's going to do that. This gen has gone on long enough, ~2 years longer than any other. Besides, even if they announce it at E3, that's at least another full year of PS3 sales before the PS4 launches. So, it'll be awhile before people decide to start getting a PS4 instead of a PS3, especially since by then the PS3 will be ~$149-199. And then there's always the fact that Sony isn't going to give MS a full year head start and Nintendo a full 2 years. That would just be suicide.

They're not giving anyone a head start, just give the announcement closer to the release date, rather than a year and a half in advance just for the sake of it. Especially if they put in BC.
