The appointment of Hirai could be the start of a shift from hardware to software. I cannot now imagine a PlayStation 4.

Of course, this is just an analyst's opinion, and the more outlandish a prediction they make, the more attention is given to them. Like we're doing now. Damn it.

Five years is a long ways away, and even if the PS4 won't be disc-less, there probably will be a lot of changes in terms of content delivery and hardware between now and then.
