Oh for sure they will. To me Sony have been very steady in their game. Each generation of the Playstation they've launched the best unit, and ensured that it has the best games. Sure, the best is subjective, but they certainly have followed a more steady path than Nintendo who (correctly) gambled on capturing the casual market, and Microsoft who released faulty hardware and paid too heavily for exclusives. Although Nintendo have done phenomenoly well this generation, and although Microsoft have put up a mighty fight, I think Sony can be confident that their Playstation brand has come through very well. In addition, it seems to me, as has been stated by all 3 manufacturers, that the current generation of consoles will last longer than previous iterations. From the last E3 it looks like the next batch of games will be a steady improvement but ultimately the same tier of quality. Perhaps we haven't seen the best of the PS3 yet, but we've certainly seen plenty it has to offer. And I think for now that's just fine as the technology does have so much to offer.
For me personally I'm currently scooping up PS3 games once they hit bargain basement price. I simply don't have the time to play them all, but I still have this burning desire to do so. So I can justify waiting for the big release games to fall to a quarter of their release price. As such, for me I'm in no hurry for the PS4. The games I already have, and the games that i'll be able to buy for bargain prices in the future will last me for several years or a decade before I'll feel the need to purchase a new console.
The N9 has arrived. What we can say from our first experience is that we're in the presence of a fantastically designed device with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some highly responsive performance.

This is good news.
Lets hope they are in the black (enough) at the end of the generation, that they can justified (to themselves business sense wise) do the PS4.
