Reports predict that the PS4 might release as soon as 2013. We hope these 25 features will make the cut. Some of these features are improving what the PS3 already did while other features extend the possibilities.
This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015. We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation.
I'm excited for a switch 2 however I don't feel it will be coming this year as per the tweet in they are commuting to a reveal in this Japanese financial year in 2025.
Realistically we will get one last holiday season to focus on the switch because it would be madness for Nintendo to go into the holidays where the switch always performs well when they have announced a switch 2.
I'm thinking we see a announcement late Jan 25 personally with a release between March and June depending on when the software is ready and how strong the holday sales were if they need to boost those figures for the next earnings call or not
It should be an interesting year; Sony, Nintendo, and MS all have new Hardware to show.
Sony is taking actions as video by Moore’s Law is Dead, has been issued with a copyright claim.
And people say it's all fake because Sony haven't said anything 😂 conveniently forget the PS4 Pro was only announced 2 months before release.
Just announce it already! I want to preorder one asap. But in reality they don’t want to lessen PS5 sales until Pro is ready to launch so I understand the business part of it. September is probably when they announce it with an early November launch like the PS4 Pro
I would take that video and upload a torrent of it, fuck that copyright bullshit. If your going to do something that has a chance of being taken down, make a torrent first share it. Then Sony or any other company is helpless and you can laugh in their faces, taunting them to try to take it down 🤣
As much as the PS4 Pro didn't represent a major % in the playerbase, announcing a 'better' model will hinder sales from the 'base' model. They are right, business-wise.
XDefiant was originally supposed to be out in summer 2023, but following a seemingly-successful beta test in April of that year, it was bumped to October 2023, and then delayed again to an unspecified future date. In its February 2024 financial report, Ubisoft slated XDefiant for launch in the fourth quarter of its 2023-24 fiscal year, which ended March 31.
A week before that date arrived, rumors surfaced that the game would be delayed yet again, and a few days later Ubisoft made it official.
"The game has always been community-first, with player feedback as a top priority," the development team said in the update. "While we hoped to go live by the end of March, there are still some improvements that we need to test before that."
Ubisoft said it's "finishing preparations" for a server stress test that will run for 12 hours on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. "After this short test, we expected to be able to lock a launch date and start sharing more about exciting content XDefiant has to offer in the future!"
The previous news was from the team/rumors this is ubisoft themselves now saying the game is delayed again no new date set but they will have a stress test on a date that has not been set.
So the game is delayed to _____ TBD
Network stress test at ____ TBD
Ubisoft we make games whenever for whoever we just do not care

I'm just going to be honest here and say what people seem to not want to, XDefiant success is going to be short-lived and it's because it's a game that's going to be under Ubisoft's umbrella. The development team can be absolute rockstars, but with Ubisoft steering the ship it's not going to go anywhere.
It could be a truely amazing game (it won't be) but with Ubisoft it will be monitized within a inch of its life.
The game is dead move on. It's the same with the Finals. These short period hype games doesn't last.
I hope they put a lot of your list into the PS4..we can hope.
I agree with most, but a few are iffy.
1. I doubt 4k will be for gaming, and if so it will be as rare as the current 1080p @ 60fps 3D games running on PS3.
3. I understand why region differences are there, but I too wish they were gone especially on PSN. People know what they're getting into by ordering something from a different country, so put up a warning, but let us buy from those stores.
4 & 5. Lag has more to do with devs. & coding than console alone, but the less lag the better, and that goes for online servers as well.
6. I can't agree anymore. While Xbox Dashboard is filled with advertisements, it's not problematic (like Youtube), and it's bringing in free money. The XMB is efficient for getting you to your media, but it needs to be replaced. I would love to have a new OS (PS Home should be the PS4 OS IMO) while having the XMB running in the background like it currently does for games. That way everyone has a PS Home account which will bring in advertisers, and give Home more developer support. Home is actually decent now so if you haven't been in a while go check it out.
7. Sony and Google are buddies. Get Chrome for your browser.
8. PS Vita has it, PS4 will.
10 - 13. This will get PS move involved in ESports, as well as give competitive gamers a reason to spend the lives online.
17. Mods will put the PS4 ahead of all the other consoles. Unreal Tournament did it, and it was great. LBP, ModNation, and inFamous 2 did it and it was great. It's a great way to give your games more life especially multiplayer games. However, to prevent a spam fest or game breaking mods, have people obtain a license to make mods.
20. It's really up to the devs. If the dev has a PC version it's possible to make it compatible with the PS3. I know Portal, Dust, DC Univers (I believe) and a few other games have done this and it works.
21. Doubt it, maybe PS Vita.
22. Gaikai
I see Gaikai as a bridge myself. I honestly believe that we'll get PS4 game demos on PS3 through it and full PS3 games for the PS4 through it too... and of course PS2/PSP/PS1 games and probably SOE games.
