Sony in No Rush to Reveal PlayStation 4

"We will probably be the last to announce something."

January 30, 2012

 Sony says the PlayStation 4 will likely be the final next-generation console to be revealed. In a new interview, Sony France CEO Philippe Cardon explains that the company is in no rush to reveal its plans for the PS4, and that its situation is different than its competitors.

"The Wii is under time pressure because it's in decline," Cardon told French site Lepoint.fr. "As far as we're concerned, we're under a lot less pressure. We were the last to release the PS3. We will probably be the last to announce something."

This falls in line with comments from Sony consumer products chief Kaz Hirai, who said earlier this month that no PS4 announcement will be coming at E3 despite previous rumors to the contrary.

Meanwhile, rumors about the next Xbox continue to heat up. Sony Europe head Jim Ryan commented last year that Sony "would consider it undesirable to be significantly later than the competition," so it's safe to assume that even if Sony's announcement comes last, it won't fall too far behind Microsoft's.
