Sony has just confirmed that a "future platform" is in the works to follow the PlayStation 3!
Sony's executive vice president and chief financial officer Masaru Kato made the announcement today in conference call to investors. When asked to explain increased research and development costs, he answered, saying:

"For the home equipment the PS3 still has a product life," he said, "but this is a platform business, so for the future platform - when we'll be introducing what product I cannot discuss that - but our development work is already under way, so the costs are incurred there."
Kato's comments come at exact opposites with Sony Computer Entertainment boss, Kaz Hirai's. Back in March, Hirai said, "a near-future PS4 or next-generation home console is not something that we are even debating now." Hirai then went on to stress that Sony wasn't "even at the half-way point" in PS3's lauded 10-year plan.
The current console cycle is definitely longer than previous ones, but with the Wii 2 (aka Project Cafe) expected to be unveiled soon at E3, and rumors of top-tier publishing partners receiving prototype dev kits of Microsoft's new Xbox, that may just be the end of this cycle, and the beginning of the next gen consoles!

There may be a revamped ui but the database will most likely stay with the arrival of the PS4.
Although, I will most likely not be picking up a PS4. If the new Microsoft platform supports Blue-Ray, I will pick an XBOX instead.

If I'm going to take 2 guess's.
The PS4 PSN will be pay to play after the PSN hacked thing. And it will be a completely different ui.
Xbox could never use blu-ray unless sony and micrsoft had some kind partnership. This would be like coca-cola giving pepsi there formula.
Remember these are just my guess's.

Sony does not own Blue-ray.Microsoft can use it if they wish.

Hopefully they'll up the GFX Memory to 2GB and the RAM bumped to 4-6GB, incorporate a Quad-Cell Processor, then hopefully that'll stop all the bitches complaining that their PC's have more power than the PS4, then no-one will doubt the power of what can be achieved.
But then the PS3 still has some way to go.
