@ Yuudai and Jon: Nah, am not talking about a full system with working model unveil at either this year's E3 (which is impossible) or at TGS later this year for the Ps4. Am talking about the media confirmation,
that they are indeed thinking about, are in the very early planning and concept stages of the next generation SONY console gaming system.
Maybe a code name and some blurred out specs specifics, just as what Nintendo are doing, at the TGS later this year, for SONY that is. For Microsoft, I expect the sorts to happen at E3 this year. Code name and tech specifics, just to stir the pot, and not give Nintendo and SONY all the lime light. It's good to give the loyal Xbox 360 fanbase, something to hope for, giving the lack of exclusive games for the 360 this year. Perhaps they are probably far deeper into development than Nintendo (which has been working on the new system since 2008),
so we shall see....
But I fully expect SONY to be later into entering the next round of console wars, until 3D "Glasses-Less" Stereoscopic TVs are on the market, not necessarily on reasonable pricing, but are on the market. With SONY putting so much infrastructure and research development into 3D tech, I think it's safe to say, their new system will fully integrate it and showcase it, how it will translate to consumers who are without 3DTVs, will remain a mystery until the new Ps4 is fully unveiled, which could be around 2-3 years from now at the earliest.
Mind you, the Ps3 and Xbox 360s are running on outdated graphics cards, and seeing that the new upcoming Battlefield 3 will demand the latest,
and most powerful graphics chip tech for the PC, it's no wonder, that the console version will be of "lesser quality" than the PC version, but still on the high end of things as far as console gaming goes. By far the modern PCs are more powerful than the current gen consoles.....
So all 3 Console makers need to try to prioritize putting a new console up for market. But I doubt with the way the financial side of things are faring, it won't likely be within the next 2 years....
And oh, I have heard soooo many rumors about Sega coming back
into the console market, with a Dreamcast 2. If this is true, this is going to be one hell of a future console war.
And nope, when E3 comes and goes, I won't be updating this live.
LOL. Even though, I live and work in the USA (where E3 happens),
that's basically it, I gotta live and work. lol.
Am hoping someone will update this as the news happens. But I'll try to do my best to keep this thread updated during the first week of June.
