yeah but devs relesed so many games for the ps2. square released (im not sure) like 3 final fantasy games. Kojima released 3 metal gear solid games.

im talking about the ps4. I think sony will release the ps4 when ultra hd comes out

the use of the RSX will hopefully be phased out by the cell by 2012, only being used once the cell is maxed out

Do you know that the cell doesn't have the neccesary fixed function silicon to be effective in these type of works?

I think that no new consoles from sony and microsoft are going to be released anytime soon, because:

- Move and Natal will launch this year (They will definitely prolongue the consoles life)
- Developers are beginning to become more efficient with HD consoles, Higher Tech engines in these economic times will result in higher costs that third parties will surely want to avoid.
- Console manufactures began profiting from consoles (360), or finally began to profit from consoles (PS3)
- Big budget games will take forever to be made (FF, MGS comes to mind, FF XIII took 4 years !!!!)

Only Nintendo will launch a new console soon, and by a new console i mean an enhanced Wii

They will respond to the competition if they release their next gen games.......unless they would like to be third place again next gen.

Once the next gen starts , this gen will be outdated.....most will move on.

yeah..not in atleast 4 years.

I guess you mean 4K (also known as Super Hi-Vision) resolution but personally I don't see that resolution becoming mainstream for at least 10 years, And the PS3 and X360 can't even do games at 1080p reliably. As for the low number of games from major studios that is because of the increased workload that goes into a game today yes but is also because of the level of polish these developers demand from their games and the time it takes to create a game engine (something all these developers did) which PS3 developers were forced to do if they wanted good results on the PS3 (because of it's architecture) if you look at most of the developers I think you will find that they only put out 2-4 games last gen anyway.

The advantages of moving to a new generation for Microsoft in the next 2 years are quite great, they could move far ahead of the PS3 in technical power levels (over nine thousand) and they would lose some of the stigma over RRoD etc while allowing them to focus on more digital distribution. Microsoft won't have to take the 360 off the market like they did with the Xbox so they will keep that on the market to combat the PS3. Now why is this relevant you ask well Sony won't want to give Microsoft another big head start on the next generation and Sony would have the opportunity to move to a more conventional architecture making it easier for multi-platform developers (who are now very important)

The difference between the PS2 and PS3 is the PS2 was very profitable.  Sony is just now starting to make profit or break even with the PS3.  They need time to recoup some of the money they have invested in the PS3.  The only way Sony puts out the PS4 in 2012 is if the PS3 just flat out won't sell, and they are forced to.  I don't see that happening. 

2012 might be a likely scenario for the next Wii, but it is to early for the PS4 or the Xbox720 (or what ever they end up calling them)

Why would Nintendo be the first to launch a new console when they are selling by far the most?
