I think will we start hearin specs and stuff next year for a 2014 release.
I thought death in Japanese is Shini. Thanks for that new info.

I told my wife that the PS4 might be renamed to SonyStation instead this time after they renamed PSN to SEN.

So put both your theory and mine together and we might get our first SS.
