In an interview with
develop-Online, Sony World Wide Studios boss, Shuhei Yoshida, has said that when Kaz Hirai took over from Ken Kutaragi as SCE head, his first order of business was to get moving on the next generation of Sony console hardware and to ensure first-party devs were on board in helping manifest the new hardware from day one, a move that has been a long time coming in the Sony R&D camp.
"The first thing Kaz said was, "get World Wide Studios in on hardware development"," Yoshida told Develop. "So he wanted developers in meetings at the very beginning of concepting new hardware, and he demanded SCE people talk to us."
When asked if that meant they were officially working on new console hardware, Yoshida emphatically answered "yes, we are undergoing many activities that we haven't yet been talking about in public. Some future platform related activities."
It's no surprise that they're already looking at new hardware development, most hardware publishers are always in R&D a long while before coming to market, but given Sony's insistence they're sticking to a 10-year life-span for the PS3, a statement like this is a bit out-of-left-field (he'll probably be scolded for it).

I love my PS3, most used console in the house, works a charm as a media extender and its exclusive titles have always been enjoyable to play.
I look forward to a PS4, and will continue to endorse all of sony's products.
(In saying that i hate 3D, and i think is a fad that sony is wasting money on)

This is a very smart move by Sony. As mentioned earlier, their hardware has often been notoriously hard to develop for. This is the price you pay when you use extremely specialised hardware. Hopefully they'll be able to use more off-the-shelf parts this time around.

Yup, my big balls would definitely be red!

It'll probably get better/we'll get used to it/we'll degrade our eyesight so we can handle it. People used to hate looking at PC monitors all day.
