Ken Kutaragi, the creator of PlayStation, has revealed that alothough he is retiring in June, he already has a vision for the PS4 and even the PS5 and 6.
According to his interview with the EE Times, Kutaragi said he was unable to talk about the "next step" until now because the PlayStation 3 had not been launched worldwide yet.
"We've introduced PS3 in Europe, so now I can openly talk about future plans", he continued.
"As a matter of course, I have the vision of Playstation 4, 5 and 6, which will merge into the network."
In the interview, Kutaragi also said that he had supplied Sony's designers with a few ideas to cut the cost of manufacturing the current PS3s.
He is now focusing on exploiting all the opportunities offered by connectivity saying "The design concept of the Cell processor is the network processor."
Although Kutaragi announced his retirement last week, in the interview he stated that he will continue to have a relationship with Sony, but for the most part, he will be working independently.
As he said, "Now I'm ready to start working with a much wider world."
