wait... so are you saying PS4 will come in 2013?

Yes, several factors have changed my stance on this, but it's mainly been the low recent sales of the PS3; it doesn't seem smart for Sony to release the PS4 any later than this year imo. 

So are you going to call our bet and update your sig or wait for it to be official?


What bet?

PS4K will be a beast and most definitely a huge leap above the Wii U. Sony can already go head to head with Nintendo's system for the time being with the money making PS3. Meanwhile the PS4K will be slowly gaining sales from the hardcore crowd with its loses balenced out by the PS3. This could work great if Microsoft's console is only 2-3x more powerful than the Wii U. However if XBOX8 is comparable to the PS4K and we have a similar setup as the 6th gen then this could really mess with Sony's plan. It's definitely a gamble, but all signs point to this being their strategy.


so i guess the reason why it will be called PS4K is the amount that the system will cost

:/ I knew I should of kept it linked in my sig. After I lost the neXtBox bet, we later made a bet on PS4 for 2013/14. Same conditions.

Are you serious? I don't remember that. Do you have any proof? 

 

 

Just kidding. Let's wait until it's official. Sony has made unlikely decisions in the past.

Lol at everyone thinking Sony is going 2 go bankrupt, its not going 2 happen.


Theres around 25% chance that it happens according to someone who made the math in this website.

Really, its no use to be in denial. Hopefully it doesnt happen, but the situation is quite serious.

Id be happy with a 2013 launch and theres alot of evidence saying that it will, I think a 2014 launch would be leaving it a tad late. As for power I dont think its going 2 be a slouch, its not really in Sonys design nature 2 build slugs or somthing "only just a little better" then the competition.

If Sony doesnt release the Ps4 this year and Microsoft releases the 720, its game over for them. They have no choice here. Its either release this year or face bankrupcy.

NOPE.

I hope you were being sarcastic because if you really belive that you should probably seriously re-read that and see how ridiculous it sounds.


It doesnt sound ridiculous at all. Sony is in a difficult situation, and the PS3 did not have an easy first 5 years. With the Wii U dominating Japan and with Microsoft dominating the US, both unopposed for one year will leave Sony in a difficult situation in the market.

I dont know if you've been hiding under a rock, but Sony's credit rating has been cut to trash. This means that just to pay their debts Sony is gonna incur on an interest rate that should be about the 10% by now. That is a really difficult situation and why the Vita has not received a price cut. Sony needs money fast, they cannot afford any more mishaps or delays. If the PS4 fails to be competitive quickly, Sony will lose even more investor support since the Playstation is their most valuable brand at the moment. If that brand falters, theres nothing else preventing Sony from sinking like the Titanic.

 

If its any confort, i do wish that doesnt happen as i'd like to get a PS4 next gen. Believe me, Sony doesnt want to wait until next year.

Not sure if serious.....if a delayed PS3 release at $600 didn't destroy the Playstation brand, nothing will.
Yes, a delayed PS4 will make it an uphill battle in the 8th generation of consoles but Sony isn't only in the video games market. A failed PS4 released wouldn't bankrupt the company. That is just ridiculous.

the latest PS4 will release is mid 2014. right now, the end of this year is looking likely though for both PS4 and XBOX.
