In a slightly unexpected turn, Sony's Kazuo Harai has addressed rumors surrounding a PlayStation 4 announcement at E3.
The Sony executive had this to say:
"Andy (House) is absolutely right in that we are not making any announcements at E3. I've always said a 10-year life cycle for PS3, and there is no reason to go away from that."
So, that's it for now. No PlayStation 4 just yet. Personally, I think it makes sense in a lot of ways, since Sony has just started putting up the numbers to show themselves as a true competitor in this generations' console war. They're sitting on an extremely powerful console, and they're putting the finishing touches on having a solid install base.
I don't know about you, but I'm not sure I need a PlayStation 4 right now. How about all of you?

I don't need an Xbox 720 or a PS4. Kinect has built the 360 into a great device and PS3's userbase is ever growing and with PS Vita hitting shelves, you're going to have more life out of these two existing consoles. If Xbox goes 720 it will kill their sales as they continue to push kinect for Xbox 360 and a lot of people (millions including me) just invested in the new slim console with the Kinect. I know a new console for me is at least 2 years off because I want my money's worth out of what I have
