RUMOR: SONY DISCONTINUES PS4 DEVELOPMENT


When Sony revealed the PSP 2 (NGP) it was hard not to be impressed. A handheld machine that looks powerful enough to match a PS3 in terms of graphics combined with dual thumbsticks, an innovative touch panel on the back, and the promise of a price point gamers can afford.

It’s clear Sony has spent a lot of time getting the successor to the PSP right. But a rumor coming out of Japan suggests the PSP 2 may be the successor to the PS3 as well.

According to Japanese website PC Watch:
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.
If true, it would mean the PS3 is the last home console Sony plans to produce, instead turning to a handheld-only strategy for games.
