With all the rumours of new consoles flying around, it seems
that some console manufacturers are doing their best to deny speculation. Sony’s
Kaz Hirai did just that at CES, reinforcing his belief that the PlayStation 3
is still only half-way through its life-cycle. And he went further to say that he
did not believe the world was ready for download-only consoles… physical media
would, in his opinion, play an important part in consoles until networks were
improved substantially.
"It's very important that we continue to have a
dedicated home-based console," Hirai told press at CES, as reported by
GamesIndustry.biz.
"Relying solely
on networks to deliver content is unfortunately just not possible. It's still
very difficult to have consumers download 50 gigabytes of data or more."
Hirai also denied rumours that there would be a new PlayStation
console announcement at E3 2012.
