They'll probably keep the system around a while longer and make the PS3,PS Vita and PS4 all part of the same community regarding PS plus and trophy systems whilst continuing support for PS3.

PS3 will definately get a lot of games and multiplats throughout 2014.

That part I don't agree with. I was referring to the PS4 part of the Playstation family part of the article.

PS4 is obviously the successor to the PS3. Sony obviously still has millions of PS3s it wants to sell so they're reassuing people that they don't have to upgrade right away. You're still getting games, arguably better ones than the PS4.

If it wasn't for the DS's huge success, it could have been true. Nintendo didn't want the DS to fail and then have that be considered the death of the gameboy brand. As a fail safe they could have released a GBA 2 a few years later. This is completely different because the PS4 is obviously a numbered successor. If it fails Sony can't go back and just release a PS3 2.

Anyway since this guy is from the middle east I'd say his intentions were lost in translation. No one at Sony would say the PS4 is "not a successor" to the PS3.

If the PS4 is not the PS3's successor...does this means it's not a next gen console?

I think naming it PS4 is already calling it a successor... They just don't want people to stop buying PS3 when it is selling well at the moment.

they better release ps4 in Europe at the same time.
Or 'll be pissed >:'(

MOST GAMERS? Writer of that article is on crack.

uh...... I might not have enough room for that now that I think about it........... They need to stop releasing large ass consoles.

So no EU release this year then. Another smack in the face

PS4 seventh Gen confirmed.
