Forums - Sony - PS3 successor to be called ...?

Due to Japanese superstition of the number 4--"shi" pronounced as death and all--will SONY ditch the PS4 name for something else or will biz strategy outweigh superstition?  Sony would benefit from the extra number as a 1 up from other consoles aka 360 vs PS3 early naming game.  Although Japanese biz and culture is inextricablly intertwined so idk.  Thoughts?

Currently playing on PS3: God of War III

If there is another PlayStation I expect them to just call it PS4...but I'm expecting the death of PlayStation after this gen. :/ Sony just isn't king with it anymore. As much as I love PlayStation, I think they're going to follow a different strategy like Wii next generation. New name, new control scheme and everything. Afterall, Krazy Ken is gone.
