    Here's a link to an article about it:http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2011/07/04/factories-prepping-for-2012-ps4-launch/

    "According to an often reliable industry source, Digitimes, there are plans afoot to launch a new console in the PlayStation range.The rumour, and we have to stress that this is way too early to receive any kind of confirmation from official sources, hinges on the Taiwanese factories that make components for Sony's consoles."

    "It seems that these factories (Foxconn and Pegatron) are preparing to swing into production with the expectation of shipping at least 20 million units in 2012."

    "The report also makes mention of full body motion controls similar to Kinect."

    Original Source/Report:http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20110704PD202.html

    I don't know about this, it's not just one person this time, it seems to be factories and digitimes starting these rumors, could they be true? That's up to you to decide

    I doubt it, there is no reason for them to put out a new console for a couple years.

    My Rig: I5 2500k 4.6 GHZ, Asrock P67 Extreme 4, Sapphire HD 7970 , 16 GB DDR3 Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHZ, SanDisk 120 GB SSD, Seagate Barracuda 1 TB, 500 GB HD, Antec True Power 650W, Haf 932 Advanced Case, Microsoft Sidewinder x6 Keybord,LogitechMX518, 2x Acer S321HL and S232HL 23" 1920 by 1080, Sennheiser HD558, Logitech 5.1 Speakers

    Not liking sixthaxis. There's a difference between motion controls and full-body motion controls. I hope Kinect is just being referred to as an example for motion controls in general. I mean, have we already forgotten the invention of buttons?

    Anyways, I can see the PS4 coming in 2012. Six years is a pretty long life for a console. Would be great to extend it, but that depends on how much of a threat Sony sees the WiiU as.

    Highly doubt it, I think PS will be last to launch their console in 2013.

    Sony has enough issues releasing a single platform properly. Launching Vita, the PS4 and recovering from a massive network breach would be a disaster.I hope the concentrate on Vita and continue to work on whatever the PS4 is. I would like the Vita launch to go as smooth as possible because I plan on getting one as soon as it comes out.

    I expect both a new PS3 and a new Xbox sometime next year. I know people get hung up on the whole Sony will support the console for 10 years crap, but Sony still releases new consoles every 6 years and the PS3 came out in 2006.

    PS.....1994

    PS2...2000

    PS3...2006

    PS4...2012

    My personal opinion is they need to fix PSN before they think of releasing a new console. I believe their money would be better spent there.

    Yeah right, that would be an epic fail on Sony's part. With the PSV coming out, and some of their best exclusives, why would they just randomly launch a new console in 2012 when the PS3 is doing just fine now? They need to wait a few years for when a new console would actually be worth the money.

    If they were releasing a new console next year, they would have announced it at E3 or this years Tokyo Game show. I don't see that happening. They already announced a new platform, I doubt they'd release 2 within the same year.

    really really don't care. after they stop making ps3 games I'm not buying another damn console. I'm not being pumped for cash anymore every five years for consoles that break, aren't fully featured or aren't supported enough by developers. I'm officially sick of new consoles

    Same as the other rumor thread.

    It's not a reliable source.

    And the rumor in question is ridiculous.

    100% fake imo.

    Thou i could see them implementing some sort of kinectish tech, this way devs could feel more inclined to develop games for kinect if more platforms support it, althou i think that is so not going to happen as well.

    This is completely an untrue rumor...they plan to release the PSV at the end of this year and are pushing PS3/PSV connectivity. Also they'd obviously need a heavy marketing push for a PS4, one that would overshadow the PSV

    And heck no to any "Kinect"-like addition. If that has any truth to it (which I highly doubt it does based on the source) I'm switching to PC
