After looking at Sony's financials for another post, I'm almost convinced they won't launch another console at all until 2014 or 2015. They're valued at $14b but have annual losses at $6.5b as of april. Kutaragi wants to use the PS division to help return the company to profitability. You don't do that by selling a new console at a loss. PS3 isn't going anywhere for a couple more years yet.


Its been said that PS4 has been in development since 2010.


If Sony doesn't return to company wide profitability in the next 2 years, then there won't be a Sony anymore.  How do you suppose Sony'll return to profitability while selling a powerhouse console at a loss?


With Kaz as the head of Sony I think the gaming sector will be carrying the weight as its profitability is higher. Sonys problem is their affordability vs the competition which is why they get overlooked and in other areas their tech needs to be revamped. If they can humble themselves they wont go down. People love Sony products but if they are going to make their prices outrageous, people will definitely take a Samsung over a Sony product.
