Well, sort of: This article from QuickJump has Masuru Kato quoted as saying that development of the PS4 is 'already well under way'. Of course we know that. (at least, you'll know that if you've been reading my blogs ;)
Another thing seems apparent is the domino effect of console announcements. No one wants to fall behind and Nintendo's original announcement was the final tipping straw to make the next gen happen. It's Microsoft's move now and after this, I am heavily gambling that E3 is going to be an official announcement (even if there wasn't already one planned) for the new Xbox console. Microsoft is not one to sit on their hands and let the competition steel the headlines. E3 will now be dominated with next generation rumours and discussion regardless of what is announced. I'd imagine Microsoft's marketing team will throw together a convincing 'teaser' announcement; that is, assuming Microsoft isn't already planning to announce their next console which is absolutely, completely possible.
Exciting days ahead for E3. Just don't expect the game announcements to make waves on the headlines. E3 is now, officially, 'Battle of the Next Generation' whether Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft like it or not. (I'm sure Apple will announce something lame too)
