The PlayStation 4 has been doing gangbusters. Just ask any gamer or, moreso, any executive at Sony, and they’ll continue to express their disbelief that the system has been doubling the numbers of Xbox One. With all of PlayStation’s first party studios having shifted development over to PS4, what’s in store for PS3? Apparently not a lot, according to PlayStation UK Boss, Fergal Gara:

 There is no doubt that at this stage, and with the success we have enjoyed globally, that our focus is on PS4 

More from Gara after the jump.

 There is more that we could do with PS3 on a promotional level, but don’t expect us to do anything near to what we are doing with PS4, because that is the future. 

He went on to say

 PS3, as has been pretty well documented, was a heavily engineered machine, and there’s a limited ability to take significant cost out of it. It will certainly be around for this year and beyond, but don’t expect it to have anywhere near as much focus in the UK as PS4. The gap between the two is very, very wide. 

So while occasional system updates and 3rd party support still exists, it seems that Sony has little in the pipeline for their decade old console and that all of their attention is turned towards PS4. Not unrelated, the PlayStation division led by PS4 was responsible for the highest revenue within Sony.

Discuss:

Do you think there is anything left that Sony could do with PS3 or does it make sense for them to shift their focus entirely to PS4?
