According to PlayStation France CEO Philippe Cardone, Sony will “probably be the last to announce something” about the next-generation PlayStation (most would assume “PS4″), following Nintendo and Microsoft.

I’ve been saying this for a although, but I’m no official spokesperson, so possibly it’s a lot more reassuring to hear from the company rather than a raving lunatic.

Sony believes that Nintendo is under much more pressure to launch new hardware, due to the rapid decline of the Wii. Despite the fact that there are plenty of rumors about the PS4, Cardone says “I couldn’t tell you anything…the Wii is pressed for time since it is in decline. In our case, we have a lot less pressure. We had been the final to leave the PS3, we will almost certainly be the final to announce a thing.”

Microsoft’s future plans/”Xbox 720″ shenanigans have also been discussed as of late, with rumors about a large reveal at E3 2012. Sony has previously mentioned that it would be “undesirable” for Microsoft to announce its next console prior to they get their chance, but that doesn’t seem to fit their original vision for the PS3, according to SCE chairman Kaz Hirai.

“I’ve always mentioned a ten-year life cycle for PS3, and there is no cause to go away from that.”

Cheers to that. Stick to your guns, Sony.

“We’re not here to counter Nintendo and they’re not here to fight the other manufacturers. Nintendo has put itself in a different cycle, they’re advancing at their own pace.”
