People have been trying to guess at when the Playstation 4 and/or Xbox 720 will debut next year, while report after report has surfaced suggested one thing or another, but it now seems as though Activision has revealed one of those systems will be debuting this coming year to challenge the Wii U.

I think we will see continued support for current consoles during and after next gen consoles launch.
The PS3's launch in 2006 never stopped continued PS2 support. Same with PS1.
And with the Wii U making games of the same PS3/360 caliber, we can expect multiplatform support to continue on those 3 consoles even after the PS4 and 720 launch.
Trix r for kids?? :O
I Heard in a Movie ,"is That Ho Pullin' Trix Again!!?! Woooo Hoo Atari 2800 is Wayne Brady gonna Have Ta Choke e B!Tch?
and he just spilled it, Nextbox720 in 2013
PlayStation 4: Uncharted 4, Killzone 4, Resistance 4, God Of War 4...
That number had never looked so good!!!
you have sony who are in trouble money wise and they just released VIta so is it wise to invest into a new machine? But they also don't want to be the last one out again and face 2 HD consoles
Than you have MS who have gone all casual on us and they care more that its a media box inside your living room than an actual gaming system. but they came out before sony/ps3 so they are also due for a newer system.
I think if i have to bet my heart says sony will release a new system in fall of 2013 but what's stopping MS they can also release one at the same time.
That's what i want to see actually ps4 vs xbox720 and see how strong xbox brand is when its going head to head with playstation, competetion meaning we the consumers win
and before i get many replies about how xbox360 is leading the sames above ps3 know this ps3 has outsold the xbox360 since launch and that huge lead has been cut down to 2 million and that's considering ps3 launched at $600. I think MS will have a tough battle either way IMO they have messed up wioth their fanbase. Each year before E3 there is talk of many games than everything is centered around kinect and more paid apps coming to xblive which are free every where else like youtube
wii-u free online service
psn free online service and with ps4 it will get cross game chat
xblive a paid serive
i fully expect xblive to loose some of its members next gen, why pay for something that will be available on other systems for free
Because some people feel the price is justified. Cell phone users who choose pay as you go plans could go with a contract to get better service, support, phones, etc but choose not to. To some people, paying $100 a month for their iPhone is better than paying $50 a month and getting tons of services for free through pay as you go.
I for one love my party chat. I also love the UI and controller of the 360. Therefor I feel the price is justified. Other people don't like paying for certain things that are free on other platforms and can do without party chat for example. More power to them. Your money, spend it how you choose.
did you not read what i said?
here is it again when ps4 will support party chat system for free on psn than why is xblive worth the price when the other service is giving you that along with same other features for free
psn today is almost the same service as xblive minus the party chat and espn etc,
you need a gold account to use netflix when on every other device in the world as long as you hve an account you can use Netflix?
so its one thing to charge for something its another to force people to buy a service to use another service that have to b e paid separately
IMO unless MS truly offers something new and worth the money they will loose a lot of its xblive members when ps4 launches
If it ain't profitable, watch Sony (or any company for that matter) drop it like poo!
It happened to PSP Go, I don't doubt it will happen again.
Are people not buying PS3s or PS2s? there's your pretty straightforward answer. The value of a PS3 is only going to increase in the eyes of the casual consumer or late adopter over the next few years, just like with the PS2. The PS3 will continue to sell as long as the benefits exist to these types of consumer - the ones that will always be looking for the cheap, high proposition console with a ton of cheap older games. The 360 will see the same continued growth and support.
When PS4 comes out, you can bet your bottom dollar that the PS3 will see support by way of games and services and they'll still be selling it years later.
As you said Sony has never been one to drop anything, as why you still see some pretty quality PSP games being made even when the Vita has been out almost a year now.
I pretty sure that Wonderbook will also be a test.
I'm not understanding how the PSPGO is relevant to the PS3. The PS3 is currently selling isn't it? So why would Sony "drop support for the newer product like PSPGO!" if the PS4 were to release?
There are more evidence pointing towards Sony not dropping support(PS1,PS2,PSP) than Sony actually dropping support(PSPGO which was nothing more than just another PSP...), but keep bringing up the GO pretending that it validates your argument.
PS4 may be announced next year, but won't be released until the year after.
Besides, the PS3's launch in 2006 never stopped continued PS2 support.
And with the Wii U making games of the same PS3/360 caliber, we can expect multiplatform support to continue on those 3 consoles even after the PS4 and 720 launch.
There's no reason why third parties shouldn't continue to port their WiiU games to ps3/360.
Then they probably would release the new ip's on the ps4, and than soon after have ps4 exclusive exclusives fallowing the next wave of exclusives... Thats what they normally do, slowly stop releaseing games on the old system to get people to start supporting the new.
I hope the ps4 is announced and released at the end of next year. I want to get all consoles next gen, hopefully no more gimmick consoles(like the Wii, IMO), and most of all I hope MS and Sony don't release table controlers like Nintendo(I think its fine on the Wii U, but I hope not every console will do it) I just want a Dual Shock 4 with the same layout, but with a more ergonomic shape, better triggers, maybe grips, and concave thumb sticks instead of convex, and of course rumble. the perfect controler imo.
From the stellar line up from ports you can tell the Wii U jumped out the door a year early, when it clearly was meant for a 2013 release.
Super PS Slim finally releasing to grab the last of the nonPS3 gamers.
A solid launch line up of games in before the summer and nothing official for the winter.
Bluray technology meaning games play on PS4
Purchase of Gaikai.
The revamp of the store.
The Vita.
All these point to an announcement of PS3 really soon. I can guarantee it will be there at E3 along side the next Xbox. If it actually launches in 2013 is unknown but I think it may.
Although a thing to look at is Last of Us and Halo 4 out now --> feb. I wonder if the top hitters Halo 5 with release as a launch in two years and Sony with KZ4, UC4...or GOW4 as Ascension wasn't called such.
Either way who knows.
I don't think Sony will release PS4 in 2013 though. Everything points to that, with new ips releasing in next year, still strong focus on PS3, the revamped store releasing (yes unlike MS, Sony hasn't released a real update to the store since forever).
This is more a tactic used spread FUD to slow down MS. Sony successfully did that to the Dreamcast so it would be an ingenious tactic.
They will _have_ to show the PS4 if they know MS is going to show the next Xbox.
They will need to make people not want to turn to the Xbox. They'll know people are itching after this lengthy console cycle.
I myself have a PS3 and I will be turning to the Xbox should it arrive first, I am sure I am not alone in that.
Next-gen is LONG overdue!
I cant really see Sony releasing the ps4 next year as they have The Last of Us, Last Guardian, FFvs13, and GOW yet to release. They need to release before a new console just on principal. Some of those were announced when the ps3 was new and if theyre on ps3 and ps4 i would be so pissed and feel jipped. They also have the vita to focus on which it def needs some real attention and ps3 quality games. Then again i know Sony wont let MS release early again so they have no choice in the matter.
I think the wii-u is honestly in the best position if they play their cards right and it is more powerful than current gen by a decent amount. We will see many games stay on ps360/wii-u and it will have exclusives. If they can make miiverse into a facebook/gaming forum thingy it will be something innovative and as big of a deal as xbl. They need to make the oline as good as xbl though because thats the golden standard which i doubt they will come close to (honestly).
Im content with my consoles now but once i see something like the Epic/Square demorunning a real game this will fel dated. Im excited for a wii-u but i dontknow if i want to invest when i can play my ps360 for a year or two until it drops and other consoles drop and build up a library (which is what i did this gen).
Really shouldve released now though with games like AC3, GTA5, Mgs Ground Zero, and others begging for more power. Imagine those 3 as launch games, i wouldve raced out to buy it right away!
It seems to point towards Microsoft, but who knows. Maybe they are talking about the OUYA.. ;)
I'll probably be getting both on launch like the Wii U.
We all know mobile gaming is the future
"As we look to calendar 2013...".
That part of the quote isn't on the source above - but the fuller quote is on other sites.
ex. PS3 was unveiled in May 2005. Got released November 2006
My prediction is they will unveil both systems at E3 2013. Release date will be 2014
Xbox 360, unveiled in May, released in November. PS3s wait was largely down to BR but unvieled earlier so MS didnt have all the fun.
As I mention below, the Xbox just "needs" it more ATM as currently it has nothing major coming out past Spring for next Holiday season so its the forerunner for first next gen release IMO. Unless they have something big they've been holding on to it has, by far, the worst exclusive line up for '13.
VGA is coming up though and MS might surprise us with a 2013 lineup as they usually have something to show at least (probably mostly focus on Judgement though and hold out next gen for ces/GDC/e3 as VGA is more about games than hardware usually but could always tease something with cgi/live action as its worked for them before).
now, with the old, weak parts they will be using, ps4/ and nextbox will be a huge DOWNGRADE to anyone with a decent gaming rig from 2010 or newer
http://www.ludos-mundi.com/...
wiiu will surely have some new games next year also even though i wont be buying a wiiu
E3 2013 should be the one to watch. And hopeully make up for this past years E3 a bore fest that was.
"We've never been first and we've never been cheap" - Sony
But you've been dumb. Don't be this time.
As with others here, if I am a betting man (and I am) MS launches for sure in 2013 and announces at E3. Sony is the odd man in the mix. I think 2013 is just a tad too early for Sony to launch new hardware. Plus they just did a hardware revision in 2012. It doesn't make terribly good business sense to nullify your hardware revision in less than a full calendar year.
That and a lot of devs lately have been saying they're working on PS4.
Xbox will likely hit around the same time if not shortly after.
Its 90% next-xbox not ps4.
