Don’t count on a PS4 anytime soon says Playstation bossman

While rumors of a next generation Xbox swirl around and the Wii U tries to get some gamer love the head US honcho for PlayStation throws a big bucket of cool water on any dreams of a next generation PlayStation console.

In an interview with Forbes the boss of PlayStation US Jack Tretton says that they aren’t intimidated in the slightest by the moves being made by Nintendo or the rumors around Microsoft’s Xbox. In fact as far Tretton is concerned the rest of the pack are just catching up with where the PS3 has been for years.

“Our attitude is kind of ‘welcome to the party.’ If you’re looking at being a multimedia entertainment device, if you’re looking at high def gaming, that was 2006 for us.”

Tretton said that Sony will be focusing mostly on the PlayStation 3 and Vita for right now, adding that he believes the company’s current products are still on the cutting edge. “What we’ve seen from competition is trying to add features that already exist in PlayStation 3,” said Tretton.

“We invested heavily in that, we rolled a very heavy rock up a steep hill, through the launch period. But now I think that all pays off, and we’ve got a long run way behind it. So, I wouldn’t look for any discussion of a next generation PlayStation for quite some time.”
