Being fairly new to the whole Sony Playstation landscape, I feel as other have already stated, that it's a bit early to bust open the wallets and purses and start forking money over for a Playstation 4.
Even if Sony was to release the Playstation 4, say next year or the year after, I probably won't be standing in line overnight at a Walmart to get one. I currently own a very nice older Playstation 2 system, and I'm very much in love with it. My plan was not to be a "hold out" for some prediction as to when the Playstation 4 would be coming out to buy one. My plan was to use this older Playstation 2 as a "filler" in between not owning a console to owning a Playstation 3, my Playstation 2 would appear to be to some as a life boat, bidding my time until a Playstation 3 lands in my living room.
I will be purchasing a Playstation 3 within a year after my move (which by the way I'm approved, my move starts on October 20 2011, to be in by November 1 2011.) after that move and I save up my money again, I will be going to Gamestop and purchasing their pre-owned Playstation 3 "Supercharged" version, with backwards compatibility.
This will be my next system...

So Sony can release the Playstation 4 anytime they want, I'm not going to bite. I want to allow myself proper time to get to know my soon to be Playstation 3 system, really have fun with it, not at all being concerned that it will then be starting it's plunge as the Playstation 2 system did by going "obsolete"! I figure if I'm this in love my an older Playstation 2 system and am in no rush to get anything else, I more than likely will feel the same about a Playstation 3 system.
And as I close, one of my new quotes...."PS2 Fatboy Fanboy For Life"!
Guest, post #39, you are so wrong! Why don't you come to my place and tell that to my PS2 system, as much as I've spoiled it, by buying approx. 90% to 95% of all the peripherals that were available at the time and buying little over 200 games for it, my system knows it's alive and thinks it's the bomb!
