Sony recently released a critical update for its PlayStation 3 videogame console. The new update will update the PlayStation 3's firmware to version 4.75. While PlayStation 3 received an important update, no words were mention whether Sony will release an update on the PlayStation 4 console.
The PlayStation 3 firmware update was released in order to fix some stability issues that has plagued the console for quite some time. Some of the changes the new update contain was based on recommendation made by PlayStation 3 users.
According to Gear Nuke, the PlayStation 3 4.75 firmware update was intended to provide stability improvement instead of introducing a new feature. PlayStation Europe blogger Chris Owen said, "There won't be any noticeable changes to the XMB menu. This update is purely to improve system stability."
