Why should they? Do you know what a PR response is? Many game companies will give responses that neither confirm nor deny things. It's no different than Blizzard saying "Diablo 3 for consoles is a possibility."
If the game isn't almost done, it wouldn't make a difference. The next gen consoles will be out in 2 years. SE might as well fold on the development of this game, and perhaps make a next gen version, or even a launch title for the ps4
The last person who notably said something like this was someone from Zynga. Coincidence? I think not. People from the mobile industry always make the same mistake - achieving mild success and thinking that they understand the whole gaming industry. Zynga's share price has been plummeting for some time. I'm hoping the same will happen to Kwalee now.
I remember when the zynga founder said that the new trend of gaming is social gaming. This proves that having mild success in one aspect of gaming doesn't mean you understand the industry as a whole. zynga's timer seems to be almost up.
Sony doesn't just consist of the gaming division alone. The real reason Sony is losing money is because Sony used to be top in all electronic related peripherals. Right now, their phones are losing to iPhones and Galaxies. People would rather go for a Dell than Vaio. Samsung is making better TVs than them. PS3 is receiving stiff competition from the 360 and Wii. Nobody buys mp3 players anymore. Their Sony Pictures/Columbia is also losing money. Sony is losing on all ends. And for a company who use to dominate in all these areas, whose size and resources were expanded to match that scale, they're obviously having a higher overhead than revenue now. Sony won't die. But they'll downsize massively until their revenue returns a profit rather than loss.
