John Carmack thinks PS4 could be coming too soon

According to Examiner.com:
It’s rare to read news where a new adaptation of a product is actually considered a premature move for evolving a brand, but that’s exactly what John Carmack thinks regarding the PlayStation 4.
In an interview with EuroGamer [via Blend Games] John Carmack openly discussed his views on the current trend in developing new consoles. He commented that…
"The whole jockeying for who's going to release the first next gen console is very interesting and pretty divorced from the technical side of things,"… "Whether Sony wants to jump the gun to prevent the same sort of 360 lag from happening to them again seems likely. As developers, we would really like to see this generation stretch as long as possible. We'd like to see it be quite a few more years before the next gen console comes out, but I suspect one will end up shipping something earlier rather than later."

According recent news from Play-Mag, they state that Sony have been working on the Sony PlayStation 4 or PS4 for longer than 2 years and they are expecting Sony will release its next generation console by around 2011 or 2012 and possibly with lower price.
As for the hardware, the PS4 will likely be powered by Cell, or a variant. The graphic processing is likely to come from nVidia or another chip manufacturer in order to keep the cost down. The PS4 is also likely to be able to process real 3D imagery and Super High Definition. The dual shock controller might go away and Sony is planning to use voice and movement recognition controller instead.
