PlayStation 'under a lot less pressure to go next-gen'
Sony will not likely announce its next generation console before Microsoft makes its move, a key executive at the PlayStation firm has said.
Weeks after it was suggested that Sony would reveal PlayStation 4 plans at E3 in June this year, PlayStation France CEO Philippe Cardon said the firm is "under a lot less pressure" to release a new console.
In an interview with Le Point, Cardon (pictured) was quoted as saying Sony would "probably be the last to announce something".
Two months ago the PlayStation Europe boss Jim Ryan said it would be “undesirable” for the PlayStation 4 to launch later than its rivals – suggesting there has been internal debate on the matter.
Develop understands that incubation groups at several Sony games studios are working on next-generation game concepts.
