Today, the CFO has cleared up the statement, saying it was misconstrued.
"As for home consoles, the PS3 still has a product life," said Kato originally. "But this is a platform business, so for future platforms, though I can’t say what we are going to release when, our development work is under way."
Those costs were mainly because of the PS Vita (NGP/PSP 2) he confirmed today, adding:
This is a good opportunity to clarify this. Some people misread what I said.
Any time we launch a product, from that day we already start thinking about the next one. This is just a general statement.
