Next Xbox AND PS4 set for the biggest E3 ever

Archive: 57 posts

http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/next-xbox-and-ps4-set-for-biggest-ever-e3/089421


Both the Xbox 360 successor AND a follow up to the PS3 will be shown at E3 2012.

The LA show tease will come as Wii U launch details are locked in - and should ensure no ground is lost between competing consoles.

It will mark the very first time in the show's 17-year history that three fresh, rival console formats will be so directly comparable.

Microsoft has long been rumoured to detail its next-gen plans at E3 2012, and recently signalled to partners this will happen, MCV has been told.

The 360 is one of the longest-serving games consoles in history. But the real surprise is an early move from Sony. Execs at the PlayStation firm have made it clear to third-parties that they will not be left behind this time.

Execs aren't expecting price or launch details for the new Xbox or PlayStation. But their unveiling could be a perfect spoiler to the pre-Christmas launch date and price that will be revealed for Wii U in June.

If these are revealed at E3 the timing is purely coincidental of this article.		2012-01-06 14:25:00

Im just scared that when the PS4 comes out no one will play PS3 with me 2012-01-06 14:36:00

If the rumor is true, then Quite honestly, I couldn't care less. I was only able to afford the ps3 recently and there are plenty of available games which I can play for long after the release of a ps4, as I did with the ps2. Any new console is bound to cost much more then the ps3 does currently and I have far better things to spend my money on. I shall, as I have with all other consoles I have previously bought, wait for the slim-line edition 2-3 years after release before considering my purchase.
Honestly though, sony would have to be mad to try and release a ps4 just as the ps3 seems to be having good sales as the prospect of a new console will put many possible buyers off.		2012-01-06 19:09:00

Sony clearly stated In a press release last year that the PS4 will not come out for a likely 5-10 year period. The XBox however is very likely to come out.

Enjoy PS3 goodness for about 7 years. Sorry for breaking any hearts.		2012-01-06 19:57:00

Sorry to break your heart but companies will lie about what they're doing until they decide it's time to show off the new product.		2012-01-06 20:27:00

But 2 major systems releasing next year? Sony has had a really good run with the PS3 and so why would they need to make a new product thats 3 times the price? They would lose tons of money, and XBox and Microsoft would be making tons more.

And they wouldn't lie about the PS4, there arent even leaked images yet. Thats my point. Someone always finds out, and it seems nobody has yet.
Plus sony would have released images if it was coming out in E3 2012.

EDIT;
They may just show features of both systems as well without releasing them. Thats a classic move for major companies.		2012-01-06 20:52:00

... what are you talking about? E3 is in six months, plenty of time for a potential leak. Oh hey, look at this thread, it's a leak! Huh, funny that.

And no, Sony wouldn't have teased something that could be in six months six months in advance.		2012-01-06 20:55:00

Dude, they're developing the PS4 for quite some time now, trust me. When they talked about the 10 year cycle they just meant it like the PS2: it's still selling even 5 years after the PS3 came out. When they are referring to it's life cycle they mean how long they will keep producing it, not how long it'll take before they launch its successor. They're just misleading the public like this because they don't want people to avoid buying the PS3 and wait for the PS4 to come out instead.

Why would Sony lose money and the other two companies make tons of it? It works the same way all of them. They lose a crapload of money on R&D, production of Launch titles, marketing and contracts with 3rd party publishers but the sales will slowly make up for it.

By now even a medium-weak PC is more powerful than a console. Nintendo has announced their console and there's plenty of rumors about Microsoft developing theirs. If Sony doesn't pick up on these cues, they'll be condemning themselves on another 5 years trying to keep up with the sales of their rivals. If they don't enter the next generation of videogames as soon as the other companies they'll be losing the support of clients and developers by the minute. Did you seriously think they'd leave the Playstation crowd playing on an obsolete machine for 2, 3 or 4 more years while the rest of the world played on next gen consoles? Do you really think the PS3 will hold a candle against next gen hardware and games?

I don't know about E3, but Sony will announce their new console soon enough. Sorry for breaking your heart.		2012-01-06 21:28:00

I don't see reason to completely believe them myself, but its not really that unlikely either.
X360's successor info is really no secret, so really they probably only need to get info from Sony.

Sorry to break your illusion of an honest corporation, but these people will lie, you know?
If they say "Oh yeah we'll have a console next year" then people are not gonna buy the old console and rather wait for the new one, if they say "there won't be a new console for 10 years, and release a new one in 2, people would have buy as they would've AND have the new console to consider.

Its like Nintendo when they say "there's not gonna be a pokemon game that combines the previous games of this generation."
Many know its gonna happen, but if they openly admit it, they would loose costumers who would then just wait for the newer game.


But 2 major systems releasing next year? Sony has had a really good run with the PS3 and so why would they need to make a new product thats 3 times the price? They would lose tons of money, and XBox and Microsoft would be making tons more.

Competition, they can't stay behind, they don't show something new, when the competitors are moving on, they'll be "behind," therfore loosing more sales than the competition.

No one said itl'l cost 3 times, not saying its gonna be cheap, but like with the VITA, they may find other ways to cheapen the product.

And they wouldn't lie about the PS4, there arent even leaked images yet. Thats my point. Someone always finds out, and it seems nobody has yet.
Plus sony would have released images if it was coming out in E3 2012.

Companies don't wanna reveal their "surprises" until E3, otherwise they really don't got a "main" thing to show off.
If they were announcing everywhere about the new console, people would be all "yeah whatever, you already said that for months" when they "officially" announced it at E3, its all about timing.

Also, thinking they wouldn't lie about a product, really?
You REALLY think they're an honest, never-lie company, don't you?

EDIT;
They may just show features of both systems as well without releasing them. Thats a classic move for major companies.
Yes, that would mean they're ANNOUNCING them, which is what its being said is going to happen, no one's saying they're releasing them right away, but just announcing them, MAYBE an estimate of a release date, tho unlikely, but all its being said is that its being announced.		2012-01-06 21:43:00

Some guys at MM belonged to Lionhead, a developer owned by Microsoft. Then they founded MediaMolecule, made one of the Playstation's best franchises ever and Sony bought the studio. If I worked in Microsoft Game Studios I would be facepalming hard when that happened.		2012-01-06 23:32:00

I just don't care. I'll be playing my PS3 for years after this E3, for various reasons. It's just unwise to buy a new console a year or two after it launches, because of potential problems with them (see: YLOD and RROD) and no games. Plus I have a feeling that the next generation of consoles will not do very well. In fact, I probably won't even consider buying the new consoles at all, because PC gaming is lightyears better than console gaming.2012-01-08 17:05:00

My 60gb launch unit died. It wasn't noisy but it died. A friend of mine has a 40gb old model that sounds like two jumbojets on top of each other. I think I'll wait. Also I'm not interested in stupid tech demos of super realistic jungle. We'll just have to wait and see.2012-01-09 05:41:00

I don't think I would buy a PS4 anytime soon after it's release due to price. But if there is an LBP3 in the future soon after its release, I have a kidney I can sell to pay for them.2012-01-09 06:01:00

I won't buy PS4 until a year after it comes out. unless LBP for PS4 comes out before then, but that's highly unlikely. (new systems never have any good games the first year they are put out) *mew2012-01-09 06:16:00

I doubt it will be this year for SONY they already have something out there they need to market with the Vita. Two products at the same time in a world that is so cautious to spend money doesn't make sense. Plus there is no real unique selling point, I mean the PS3 is a 3D Bluray player via a free update...

I have a feeling that a new console that relies on disc based media may not be a good path to be on... Now a cloud based game/media streaming service that connects to the existing PS3 would be a smarter step.		2012-01-09 06:32:00

Or, ya know, he's right.

Every time consoles get better, PC's will still be ahead - assuming you have the money for it. I'll buy the new xbox when it comes out, but PC gaming is better.		2012-01-09 10:54:00

Story at IGN:


It was just yesterday that we relayed the rumor that PlayStation 4 and the next Xbox console are E3-bound. But if famous Wedbush Morgan Securities industry analyst Michael Pachter is to be trusted, MCV's report is off the mark.

Financial magazine and website Forbes is reporting quotes from Pachter about MCV's rumor. "I think there's zero chance of a tease from Sony for PlayStation 4," Pachter told Forbes, continuing that a new Xbox at E3 is unlikely, too, placing the odds at "20 percent."

"Neither console is launching in 2013, so there's no reason to tease them in 2012," Pachter concluded.

This flies in the face of the original MCV report, the source of which was described by MCV editor Ben Parfitt on Twitter as "exemplary, 100% concrete, ultra high level."

Of course, such a claim doesn't necessarily pinpoint who could possibly know the rival companies well enough to be intimately familiar with both Sony's and Microsoft's E3 plans. But MCV's Editor-in-Chief Michael French did tell IGN that their report is "very credible."

With MCV's report and Michael Pachter's analysis contrasting with one another, it remains to be seen what Sony and Microsoft have planned in terms of their next consoles and when they might be revealed. But feel free to do some speculating of your own in the comments below.

Neither are being released in 2013, I highly doubt it'll happen....


because PC gaming is lightyears better than console gaming.

While that may be true technically, PC just doesn't have the exclusives Consoles do. PS3 has innumerable amazing exclusives that PC fanboys will miss out on. Sure, there are some PC exclusives, but nowhere close PS3 or Xbox. Plus, if you have some friends over, are you going to want to have them sit in front of your computer, or play a game on a TV?		2012-01-09 11:45:00

Didn't realise consoles had StarCraft, DotA 2, Diablo III, rFactor 2, CoH, The Witcher 2, (the proper) TF2 (rather than the poor version in the Orange Box - and yes, I did play it), (the proper) Civilization games, all the Total War games, Frozen Synapse, Terraria, Minecraft, Stalker, ArmA 2, SW:TOR, CounterStrike, WoW (ok I don't like it, but clearly a lot of people do), Red Orchestra 2, Race series, GTR, and quite a few more.

Consoles have a few decent exclusives - Halo, Killzone, Uncharted, Forza, Gran Turismo (both of those are worse than the PC racing sims though - and as someone who plays racing sims I'd like to see you argue against that) GoW, LBP...

Every other game is on PC, normally with better graphics, bigger servers and mods. And PC games are cheaper.

If I have friends over we'll play fifa. we can do that just as easily on PC as on a console, especially because I can just hook my PC up to the 40 inch HD TV that is next to me, at which point there is no difference at all to playing on a console, I can even use my 360 controllers...		2012-01-09 12:28:00

I started out console gaming a long, long time ago with the Atari 2600 and moved through the different consoles until I bought my first PC and was introduced to Myst. "There's no way consoles can do this," I thought. So, I sold all my systems at the time and only had PC games. Man, there were some great ones. But I quickly learned that in order to play the newest releases, I would have to constantly be upgrading my ram, HD (not so much an issue now with TB hard drives), video card, drivers, and sometimes even your sound card. So back to console gaming I went. I still do a lot gaming on the PC, I mean c'mon, let's face it. There's nothing like some good ole WASD gaming or point and click adventures, but with consoles you don't need to go out and get a new video card when a game comes out, oh and hope that that game is compatible with your specs. Can't tell you how many PC games I have gotten, only to find that it wasn't compatible with my sound card.2012-01-09 13:11:00

I'm mainly speaking "back in the day" on the sound card issue. Ahh, good old DOS gaming. You had some games that weren't compatible with the SoundBlaster cards and you would spend loads of time trying to get it sorted out and finally play the game either with no sound or it sounding like it was coming through on a 1940's radio.

lol. Assuming he meant video card, it's foolish to not check the specs before buying anyway. [EDIT: ah ninja'd] But yes, PC gaming is more expensive, though nowhere near as much as some make out to be. Saying that, irrelevant of cost, I personally find the experiences I get on PC to be superior to consoles.

I'll always look forward to new hardware though, cause as soon as consoles get into a new generation, this also imroves the PC games as they're less restricted by the consoles. And I also have no doubt I'll buy the PS4, incase I sound like a fanboy. There's just some games the PC will never have.


Sure, there are some PC exclusives, but nowhere close PS3 or Xbox.

Barely going to bother commenting on this one due to Alex covering it mostly, but one other thing which PC owns on: Indie games.
And like Alex said, PC versions of console games are often (though not always) superior. Look at BF3 - 64 player vs 24. Skyrim - Epic mods vs no mods. etc.		2012-01-09 13:30:00

I didnt realize those games were good.


Ps3 is what, 4/5 years old? I'd say its time for a new console. Developers have pretty much hit the maximum of what this gen of consoles can do. (Not that it means much since you dont need latest tech to make a great game and there's lots of great games possible that arent being made because people have come to expect groundbreaking graphics)
If they want to keep up the current trend of better graphics with each title they'll need a new console, but I hope that article was right when it said animation was the next big thing instead of graphics.. we might start getting games with combat that doesnt suck.		2012-01-09 13:36:00

^^OMG!
Indie games! Yes! Did you guys get the newest Indie bundle?

it's foolish to not check the specs before buying anyway.
Checking the specs is not a guarantee that it's going to work, but it's always the first thing I look at. And true, PC gaming has become cheaper, especially with being able to get parts online. Used to be where a new video card would run you $400, you can now get one for around $200, but still.

Hmm, the topic seems to have derailed. I shall say something relevant to the OP. It doesn't matter if they're announced or not, I still won't get one until it's been out for a couple of years, although, hmmm, I may would get one on launch day just to turn around and sell it on Ebay for twice as much, like people did with the PS3.		2012-01-09 13:54:00

I get every indie bundle But I didn't get the last cause I actually have every game on it bar 1 lol, which i wasn't interested in.

And yeah, I still don't see the need for next gen yet when games like uncharted 3 are still coming out, but if it does release I would probably buy it day one. Maybe. I've never bought a console day 1 I think actually, which is really weird for me. Will be getting the vita day 1 though 		2012-01-09 14:12:00

Mostly I stick with rFactor at the moment, because the old F1 mods are great - especially the '79 mod. The Race series is good as well, and I would play iRacing, bug I don't have a wheel for PC (>___>) because I race on a team on Forza 4, so I have a Fanatec wheel for that - which unfortunately isn't compatible with PC and I can't afford a second at the moment :/		2012-01-09 14:50:00

So what? What if I don't care about Strategy, MMO's, MOBA's, dungeon crawlers and all the other guff where you endlessly click on the left mouse button? What if I like platformers, Hack and Slash, fighting games, adventure, playing comfortably from my couch and having my friends coming over to play with me? What if I don't want to go trough the trouble that are hardware/software incompatibilities, constantly upgrading the computer with expensive hardware, dealing with poorly optimized games and annoying DRM's, stuff like downloading a nvidia driver and having to hunt on the internet for my computer's original sound driver because the new graphics driver screwed it up? What if I care more about direct pure fun instead of grinding quests and nice graphics? (visual quality doesn't rely only on graphics by the way).

And of course you left great console exclusives out. Off the top of my head: Mario, Zelda, Ratchet and Clank, Demon's/Dark Souls, Sly, Jak, MGS3, MGS4, infamous, Bayonetta, Metroid, Monster Hunter, Kid Icarus... see? Anyone from any platform can enumerate a list of great exclusives.

No platform is better. Each one has its strengths and flaws. We have different tastes so PC gaming is better for you, console gaming is better for me. Period.

Oh and if you like strategy games, give UFO: Enemy Unkown a shot (also known as the original X-COM). Still easily the best strategy game ever. A 18 year old game. See, you don't even need beefy hardware to play the best games out there. Just a kiddie's laptop, a few visits to Good Old Games or Steam's classics sales and you'll have a better game collection than a guy with a top-notch desktop and the most recent games you can find for it.		2012-01-09 19:53:00

Agreed^
I simply cannot afford the high maintence needed to run a computer that can run today's big games, such as Battlefield 3 and Skyrim. (Which is sad, all i need is More RAM for that, but an entire new videocard and processor for BF3)
even then, I cant be sure im actually buying what i need anymore. I cant even beigin to comprehend what Specs are of high grade and which are not.

Dont get me wrong, I would LOVE to have a gaming PC, and some of the Exclusives Like Minecraft (For now, anyway) are my favoruite games to play, but I cannot keep up with the rate of increasing technology associated with them.		2012-01-09 20:38:00

Games are always limited by hardware, doesn't matter if it is a portable, console or high-end PC. The one with higher power just sets the bar for "max power", but as soon as it gets obsolete, games move (or at least should) move on.2012-01-10 12:38:00

Negative. The best gaming platform to date is a place called "outside" sure, the gameplay sometimes sucks, but the graphics are awesome!		2012-01-10 14:24:00

The AI of some of them is also quite unremarkable. And the PVP battles are way too chaotic to be fun.		2012-01-10 16:58:00

Anyone that says PC gaming is better than console gaming is either a PC gaming fanboy/girl or doesn't know what they're talking about.

Bottom line is that one is not better than the other. They both have pros and cons. I've had my share of both considering I've played numerous MMOs on my PC, as well as games like Diablo, Fable, Starcraft, Counterstrike and more, and I prefer console gaming any day. I like console gaming because for my personal preference it's pros far outweigh PC gaming pros based on what's more important to me. Graphics is not that important to me, and it's easier to manage consoles since you don't have to deal with specs/software/hardware issues that you do on a computer.		2012-01-10 18:58:00

Thats the worst console ever, graphics of objects deteriorate over time and gameplay is limited by physics.		2012-01-10 19:18:00

It will have a 10 year lifecycle but that doesn't mean the next console will be released 10 years after the PS3 launched, the PS1 and PS2 also had a 10 year lifecycle with the first 6 years being their time as the main console and the last 4 after their successor released being their time as the budget console.		2012-01-10 20:07:00

PS3's hardware is 5 years old. When it reaches 10 years, the PS3 will have the same relevance in the market as the PS2 has now, with or without 6 processing units. A 10 year lifecycle doesn't translate into "10 years until the next generation comes along".		2012-01-10 21:36:00

No PlayStation 4 Announcement At E3 2012

We'll know in about 6 months, could also mean that its one of the many other industry events being used for the reveal.

Either way we've got months of vague rumours and denials to enjoy.		2012-01-11 09:26:00

It doesn't even have to be during E3. Anyway the 10 year lifecycle is just BS for sure. They keep throwing that around like it has any meaning besides "we won't discontinue the PS3 for at least 10 years".

Sony doesn't control when the next gen starts. The other companies won't slow down their progress just because they come up with this kind of bluff and misleading statements. If Sony really is arrogant to the point of thinking that they can delay for however long they want and still maintain their userbase, they're doomed. No third-party developer will care about the PS3 once a next-gen console is out. No player will care about the ten year lifecycle once other people are playing next gen games the PS3 can't have. This console gen is the longest ever already, developers are complaining about old consoles stalling technical advancement in games, according to the many rumors MS is already working on a new Xbox and Nintendo announced the new Wii. Sony just can't afford being arrogant like this and refuse making a new console as if their word is the only one that matters.

One year delay with the PS3 and a huge portion of PS2 players just migrated to the 360. Add to that a completely uninteresting game lineup of the PS3's first two years and look what happened: they had to spend 3 or 4 years catching up with the Xbox's sales. What do you think wouldl happen if Sony stays true to their word (which they won't) and delay their console for another couple of years? Do you guys think the PS3 gamers would keep playing on their obsolete consoles with dwindling developer support while everyone else plays their fancy new gen games?

Sony is nothing if not stubborn, but they're going too far with this load of bullcrap if you ask me.		2012-01-11 13:34:00

This doesn't confirm or deny anything about the PS4. It just confirms that the PS3 will stay around for a good while, which the PS2 did when the PS3 was released.

Personally I want them to concentrate on Vita for now.		2012-01-11 18:30:00
