Sony has confirmed that work on a "future platform" to follow the PS3 "is already under way".

Sony's executive vice president and chief financial officer Masaru Kato made the revelation on a conference call to investors today. He was asked to explain increased research and development (R&D) costs.

"For the home equipment the PS3 still has a product life," he said, "but this is a platform business, so for the future platform - when we'll be introducing what product I cannot discuss that - but our development work is already under way, so the costs are incurred there."

Kato's comments are in direct contrast those of Sony Computer Entertainment boss Kaz Hirai's. Hirai said, three months ago in March, that "a near-future PS4 or next-generation home console is not something that we are even debating now".

Hirai stressed that Sony wasn't "even at the half-way point" in PS3's lauded 10-year plan.

This console cycle may be destined to last longer than previous generations, but there are already rumours of top-tier publishing partners receiving prototype dev kits of Microsoft's new Xbox.

Meanwhile Nintendo has plans to formerly unveil Wii 2 - codenamed Project Cafe - at E3 next month.

Meh

PS4 still won't beat PC in gaming experience.

which experience would that be ? the one of buying new components every few years just because devs cant be bothered ? or the one of missing out on loads of top games that are exclusive to consoles ? cant be bothered with either of those anymore myself

PCs are good for some games, consoles are for others.

There is no definitive best platform IMO.

Some people just don't realise that as consumers, they're allowed to play games on more than one platform and even experience the exclusives that each platform has to offer.

I wasn't trolling. Just merely giving my opinion after switching from PS3 to PC gaming.

True there is exclusive feel to consoles but graphics and modwise I enjoy playing more on PC. This is coming from someone who has been an avid gamer and has played on various consoles for the last 16 years.
