Will PlayStation 4 Come Out?

January 16th, 2008 admin

Probably yes.

But not in the near future. Probably after 2010. Why? Because PS3 is already too awesome but they didn’t really sell many units compared with Wii. Why such low market rate? The price. Who wants to spend more than $400 for a video game console? Less than 0.1% of population.

The 40 GB version of PS3 has been launched below the $400 level (which is $399) but probably not many people are as interested in it as the 60GB version since some hardware has been pulled out to reduce the cost. In the 40GB version, instead of a hardware to play PS2 and PS1 games, they use a software simulator, which is much cheaper.

Luckily I have gotten the 60GB version for my boyfriend. That’s the most awesome version of Playstation 3. When it has been pulled apart they made an estimation of more than $1000 to make that console itself and it is sold at $599. Sony lost a lot of money.

Anyway, get your free ps3 now!
