Despite there being super duper reliable inside sources saying that the PlayStation 4 would debut at this year's E3, Sony says otherwise. Andrew House told CVG the truth on the matter back in December.
The president of Sony's Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida stated simply with a laugh, "I don't know what you're talking about."
As noted, if nothing else expect to see some big things from Sony with respect to the future of the PlayStation 3 at this year's E3.
"I don't think we're contemplating talking about anything to do with future console iterations at this point.
"But one thing I always point to is that, somewhat in contrast to our major competitors, we have, particularly with PS2, managed the length of the lifecycle and ensured its profitability for our publishing partners for a much longer lifecycle than has been true of the competition.
"I would say that's in part because of the global reach of Sony from a distribution, infrastructure and marketing standpoint. Because in many markets, we work alongside really long-standing, established operations in electronics, we're able to migrate out into rather more emerging markets much more easily and sustainably than is possible for some of our competitors."
