I heard this rumor over on Qj that Sony is pulling out of the hardware wars.
This is a direct quote from the post: Quote:
"Ken Kutaragi, the maverick Sony engineer behind all three generations of PlayStation games consoles, will on Friday become chairman of Sony Computer Entertainment in a management reshuffle that could foreshadow the company’s exit from video games hardware.
Analysts said that Mr Hirai’s promotion to a global role at SCE could mark a critical shift in management thinking, with Sony changing its emphasis so that the current generation of games console will be its last as a hardware manufacturer.
“The appointment of Hirai could be the start of a shift from hardware to software,” said Yuta Sakurai, an analyst at Nomura. “I cannot now imagine a PlayStation4.”
Mr Sakurai said that Mr Hirai’s new global portfolio puts a predominantly software-focused manager in charge of the company, adding that SCE’s future would be shaped by Mr Hirai’s relationship with Phil Harrison, the president of SCE’s worldwide studios.
Analysts argue that while Mr Kutaragi, a brilliant engineer, was the right man to run SCE as a hardware powerhouse, Sony may now see better opportunities as a pure maker of games. "
| Another rumor I heard in school is that the PS3 will be their last console and all future hardware releases from Sony will be upgrades to the PS3.
I personally don't believe this, the PS3 isn't doing that bad for them to quit, but I thought I would share this with you guys. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS ONLY A RUMOR AND MIGHT NOT BE TRUE!

But they did make a ton of money off of PSX and PS2, and the PSP(minus UMD movies), so why would they stop?
