E3 2012 was always going to be interesting, what with Wii U details as well as what Sony has planned for the Vita.
However, according to a report by MCV, things are about to be taken up a notch with the unveiling of both the PS4 and a new Xbox.
Editor of MCVuk, Ben Parfitt, has said that although he cannot reveal their source for this information:
“You have my personal word on this – the source is exemplary, 100% concrete, ultra high level.”
A three-way new console battle at E3? Yes please!

Not even sure I’d be excited, just been gaming on the PC lately *yawn* PS4 or even the Xbox 3 will need to something really amazing to get me interested.

Monster Hunter vs Dynasty Warriors? ;)

I’d like:
– Improved Visuals
– Faster loading times for games/using the xmb
– Faster Blu-ray access
– better wi-fi connection to improve connectivity reliability/speed
– Much Much Much better file structure for music/photos/videos and more user friendly
Just a few on top of my head – but yes I think the PS4 is required sooner than later. It certainly has a lot of limitations that wouldn’t take much effort to improve.

I agree with you

I really hope it isn’t true. I’m not interested for at least another couple of years. The ps3 still costs nearly £200 at the moment.

I don’t mind them announcing it, plenty of time for people to hop on board the hype trains! Just don’t sell it until the back end of 2013 please

Exactly. It won’t be sold for ages, so no harm in my opinion in announcing it.

I was lucky enough to have the cash to splash on a launch PS3, I doubt I’ll be doing that again for whatever they announce. Same as a lot of you, I’m also very happy with my PS3, I think it’ll last a while yet.

I look forward to both, however it is vital in my mind that both are backwards compatible 100% with the current generation. I can’t see the adoption rate being quick unless they do this
Squatchmen
Pshhh, no. I would not mind at all if there wasn’t any backwards-compatability. It keeps the costs down, keep your old machine, and overall the newer games are just going to be better….keep those fond memories of previous games.

Yes please with a launch 2013. Really want it soon as the ps3 will be 6 years this year which it was between ps2 and ps3.

Backwards compatibility is a must. A late 2013/early 2014 release for either console would be fine by me.

2013 is a maybe but then again I did get my PS3 a year after it launched here, so maybe 2014 if that is the case.
