Hardware configuration: Intel i7-4770K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR3-2133 Corsair Vengence (black/red), EVGA GTX 760 @ 1200 MHz, on an Asus Maximus VI Hero MB (black/red), in a blacked out Antec P280 Tower, with a Xigmatek Night Hawk (black) HSF, Seasonic 760w Platinum (black case, sleeves, wires), 4 SilenX 120mm Case fans with silicon fan gaskets and silicon mounts (all black), a 512GB Samsung SSD (black), and a 2TB Black Western Digital HD (silver/black).
Kazuo Hirai has been named as President and CEO of Sony Corporation. He will take the role on 1 April, and replace Howard Stringer in both roles.
Howard Stringer will become chairman of the board of directors in June, when Yotaro Kobayashi retires. Hirai is also expected to be appointed to the board in June.
Hirai, 51, is currently Sony's executive deputy president and chairman of the company's Computer Entertainment (SCE)—or PlayStation—arm.

My guess is that it won't be called a PS4 based on cultural norms, but you never know... Whatever they call the follow on product, I would really like to see it fold as well.
When you release a new product, you almost HAVE to support software from the previous generation ... to give the game designers to start writing code that uses the added capability. The early PS3's had PS2 hardware. Later PS3's replaced the extra hardware with emulation software. It's very likely that FAH would run fine as long as the new product included PS3 hardware and also very likely it would run poorly in emulation mode. By that time, Sony+Stanford will have had time to consider whether the cost of rewriting the code is in their joint interest or not.

Considering the huge leap between the PS2 and the PS3 in terms of processing power, I'm sure rewriting the code for FAH to run on PS4 would contribute tremendously to its progress. My guess (or hope) is that Sony and Stanford will decide to continue FAH for PlayStation.
Yes, it would be important for FAH, support and enhance the relationship with Sony; 610 Native TFLOPS are important.
Sorry for the translation. This aspect, obliges me to very short and concrete sentences. Little by little he will go forward, also in this field.
Thank you for your understanding. Jorge Barrientos
