I'm concerned given today's reports that we will get an official announcement of the PlayStation 4 in less than three weeks and ahead of a Q4 2013 release. Then again, that probably just forces Square Enix to make an announcement one way or another about the game since it certainly puts a countdown on when the game can feasibly launch. God of War 2 launched on the PS2 several months after the release of the PS3, and Sony has the best track record of continuing to support their previous consoles (only stopped PS2 production last month), but it puts impetus on Square Enix to get the title released sooner rather than later to have a reasonable shot a recouping what must be exorbitant development costs.

I am cautiously optimistic.
