Sony is dening PS3 right now because with the success of the PS2, they want the media to focus on this era right now rather than the future at this point. I can assure you, there will be a PS3, it will be X times amount faster thant he PS2.
As for now, Sony wants us to enjoy what\'s offered to us, because they are still releasing AAA titles, and X-box still is slowly dying, and Nintendo hasn\'t posed much of a "threat" yet. Plus, Sony is pretty much in control right now of the scene. I wouldn\'t be suprised if they release the PS3 2-3 years from now just to show how successful they are right now.
But I wouldn\'t count on them releasing any information reguarding the PS3 til it\'s time they move on. If M$ can\'t get on it\'s feet soon, Sony\'s next cailbur will bury X-box2 before it sees the light of day.
