The Wii U is set to launch in 2012 and the next version of the Xbox is expected to come out some time in 2013. However Sony Computer Entertainment America CEO and president Jack Tretton says that while Sony is always thinking about the future, they’re focused on the PS3 and PS Vita for right now.
“In terms of when you talk about [the next generation] and when you announce it, it really depends on the health of the existing platform and the other things you have going on,” said Tretton. “And right now, we’re focused on PlayStation 3, and I’ve got another platform (PlayStation Vita) to get out the door in seven days, so I don’t want to be thinking about trying to launch new technology anytime soon. I want to focus all our energy on our console business, which is really just hitting its stride, and Vita, which really deserves a dedicated push from us.”
“I, quite frankly, would be very distracted if I had to be talking about next generation hardware this year,” he added.
