Following the great success of the Playstation consoles, many gamers are on the edges of their seats, eager to know when Sony’s next generation console, the Playstation 4, will be released. Unfortunately, solid details have been rather nonexistent. Head developers at Sony have been very tight-lipped about the whole situation; the only official word being that development is underway. In the years since that statement, precious little has been learned on the subject.

According to Sony, there is a development room left in the current PS3; current games have yet to push the envelope for the system’s full potential.I found some more information here. For expectant PS4 buyers, this is bad news, since this leaves little reason for Sony to begin a next generation information leak. Outside reports have been no more helpful. Unofficial release dates have been stated as early as mid-2012, and as late as 2015.

However, the situation delivers more than just despair. Multiple teaser videos have come out, and though no decisive release information is available, general agreement seems to point toward a 2012 release. Pressure, too, will be applied by the release of Nintendo’s Wii-U, which has a tentatively scheduled release in June of 2012.

If development has in fact been underway, the likely conclusion is not-too-distant completion, which leaves release publicity up to marketing executives. Market works pending, Playstation fans may not have long to wait for Sony’s newest gaming technology.
