Rumor: PS4 plans suspended

Quote :

Hiroshige Goto says SCEI suspended PS4 development. They were working on a PowerPC based system at IBM Rochester after the Larrabee fall out, then shelved it. They are betting the farm on PSP2 as they expect handhelds to displace consoles.

I highly encourage everyone to calm down if you went into shock by reading this, first of all this is a rumor, second even if it's true that doesn't mean that they won't make PS4 at some time.

Handhelds to replace home consoles, I lol'd.

I will never use handhelds as my main gaming platform. Consoles are here to stay.

Yeah, handhelds are definitely not replacing consoles....

Don't want the next generation of consoles to come out anytime soon anyways.

Kojima approves of the handhelds replacing consoles statement.

As do plenty of other top tier developers.

I think what he meant was playing your console at home, and then being able continue that same experience even if your not home with a handheld, replacing it tho? nah

FUCK, I WANT MY PS4! GODDAMMIT!

It would be cool to see handhelds take over consoles but also act as them. You could plug your handheld into a TV and use a conventional controller, and play it like a traditional handheld on the go.

It would simplify things. Instead of owning a Wii and a 3DS, you could own one Nintendo platform that acts as both a handheld and a console. It doesn't seem too unlikely, given the recent trend of hardware developers trying to cram every possibly functionality into their products (like how the iPhone is a multimedia player, GPS, and camera, as well as host to a large library of applications).

^ Nah

Developers are thinking about the future. They're thinking about the $$$$.

Same goes for hardware manufacturers. The money is in handhelds. Wherever the largest serving of money is, they'll eventually flock there.

The NGP, a handheld, is apparently up-to-par with the current generation of consoles.

I could never get immersed in a game when it came to handhelds, imo they are only good for on the go gaming.

The day they stop making consoles is the day I stop gaming, without trying to sound like a cry baby.

There is just to much money in home consoles and its software when it comes to gaming and I can't see Sony, MS or Nintendo ditching it.

This is great news for me. The last thing I wanted was a new PlayStation 4 to come out.

What would be cool is a handheld that is a console. So you do some gaming on your TV, it's all connected wirelessly too. Then when you have to go to school or whatever you simply pick it up, once its about 10m out of range of the TV it then goes into portable mode and you continue playing
