Sony has confirmed that work on a "future platform" to follow the PS3 "is already under way".
Sony確認PS3後繼平台作業已經在進行
Sony's executive vice president and chief financial officer Masaru Kato made the revelation on a conference call to investors today. He was asked to explain increased research and development (R&D) costs.
Sony副執行總裁和財務總監在投資者電話會議中透漏，他被要求解釋研究和開發費增加的情況。
"For the home equipment the PS3 still has a product life," he said, "but this is a platform business, so for the future platform - when we'll be introducing what product I cannot discuss that - but our development work is already under way, so the costs are incurred there."
他說：「PS3家用遊戲機仍然有產品壽命，但這是一個平臺業務，所以為了未來的平臺——我們何時會推出何種產品現在不能透露，但我們的開發工作正在進行之中，所以費用有所增加。」
Kato's comments are in direct contrast those of Sony Computer Entertainment boss Kaz Hirai's. Hirai said, three months ago in March, that "a near-future PS4 or next-generation home console is not something that we are even debating now".
Hirai stressed that Sony wasn't "even at the half-way point" in PS3's lauded 10-year plan.
Kato的評論直接對比到SCE老闆Kaz Hirai所說的話，他三個月前的三月說：「次世代主機不是我們現在正在討論的。」
This console cycle may be destined to last longer than previous generations, but there are already rumours of top-tier publishing partners receiving prototype dev kits of Microsoft's new Xbox.
主機週期也許比上個世代還要長，但是已有許多謠言說較大的開發商夥伴已收到微軟的新XBOX
