Rumors have abounded that Sony is prepping the fourth PlayStation for release in a couple years time. However, Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan dismissed any rumors that Sony would have to respond to Wii U.
“All I’m focused on right now is making the most of PS3,” he said. “We’ve over 50 million PS2’s installed across our PAL territory, and as you’ve heard yesterday we’re up to 22 [million] on PS3, so there is a long way to go. That’s all we need to focus on for now.”
Ryan is much more focused on the PS Vita and its launch, saying, “It’s obviously a top priority. We’re going to launch early next year and it’s critical that a marketplace the size of ours has a successful launch, installs a lot of product, and that we publish all the great games that we have [lined up for it],” said Ryan. “The quality of the content available at launch far exceeds anything we’ve had on any platform [at the same stage], not just PSP. Marketing great content is much more straightforward than marketing content that perhaps is not so great. Secondly, come the fall [2012] you’re going to see the heavy guns from the third party community coming to the platform, giving us additional momentum for the Christmas selling season.”
