By end of 2016 it's 3 years since the PS4 has launched, thats half of a console cycle. The PS3 slim wasn't born out of necessity, it was a natural evolution, after countless die shrinks, hw generations and miniaturization of the parts used in the ps3, a Slim model was overdue.

natural evolution in manufacturing sense but not in a proaduct sense,it was launched to rebrand PS3's image

also back then die sizes were huges but now its already pretty small so it become difficult and most of all,SONY doesn't need it.

they will save it for next year without a price-cut

also PS3 was making GIGANTIC losses,SONY may have made as much as $9.5billion losses on PS3,CELL,etc

they needed that gigantic cost cutting,i remember that when SLIM first time launched,there were reports that PS3 finally broke even and was making $10-15 profit on every PS3 SLIM

Whether PS4 Slim comes in 2016 or 2017 depends on when AMD is able to shrink dies.

AMD will easily shrink the die and we will see a PS4 SLIM next year anyhow.

company's can easily shrink die in 2years but there should be investment

CELL and RSX shrinking was due to alot of investment,i remember after a few revisions when there wasn't much investment being made.both CELL and RSX became stagnant in shrinking their sizes cause they could have gone much much smaller
