Sony has just confirmed that a "future platform" is in the works to follow the PlayStation 3!
Sony's executive vice president and chief financial officer Masaru Kato made the announcement today in conference call to investors. When asked to explain increased research and development costs, he answered, saying:
Kato's comments come at exact opposites with Sony Computer Entertainment boss, Kaz Hirai's. Back in March, Hirai said, "a near-future PS4 or next-generation home console is not something that we are even debating now." Hirai then went on to stress that Sony wasn't "even at the half-way point" in PS3's lauded 10-year plan.
The current console cycle is definitely longer than previous ones, but with the Wii 2 (aka Project Cafe) expected to be unveiled soon at E3, and rumors of top-tier publishing partners receiving prototype dev kits of Microsoft's new Xbox, that may just be the end of this cycle, and the beginning of the next gen consoles!

"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."

I Guess they must be working really hard as the Nintando Wii is researching heavily on brain controllers for their game consoles.
Last time Sony took a more safer approach by introducing the motion controller when X Box introduced the Kinect.
But with the PS4 Sony might take the full potential out of the cell processor and introduce a brain controller with virtual 3D gaming experience.
