Nintendo has confirmed their next console is going to be revealed at E3 2011 but does anyone think Sony and Microsoft will reveal their next consoles?

I think no, but I'd like to hear what other people think.

No, I'm thinking Xbox 720 E3 2012 and Playstation 4 E3 2013.

I would like them both to but, I doubt it will happen.

I agree with you. PS3 and X-Box sales are still strong so why mess with a good thing right now. Plus, the current games for the PS3 barely scratch the surface of what it can really do. I'll bet to increase sales they will start making bigger and better games before they release a new system.

X-Box needs to catch up and surpass the PS3 so they need to release sooner (more than likely) unless they are waiting to see the competition blink first. I think eventually everything goes glasses free 3d as long as they can get rid of the field of view problem. Until that happens there will be no other new systems than handheld (Microsoft needs a dedicated gaming handheld), and the WII 2. Nintendo has to release a new WII because they underestimated the effect hd would have on the market with their first system. I remember Nintendo saying something about they thought HD TVs would be a passing fad or would not catch on to the average household. That was an oops on Nintendo that they have to correct.

The system wars sure are interesting though aren't they. I can't wait to see the WII 2.

No way. That's too early.

I think they may mention that something is in the works, but that's about it.

No.

I could see 2013 happening. We could get a reveal @ E3 2013.

You know, maybe Microsoft may make some feeler mentions at E-3. Statements eluding to a new system without really saying a new system. Maybe a statement that just creates news and gets us talking. The more people talk about Microsoft the more money they make. So why not?

They may even talk about how they have developed technology tougher to hack eluding to the PS3 debacle.

Nintendo announced the wii2 because of the wiis declining sales.

Wi the the release of the move and kinect announcing a console would be a pretty bad business move.

I doubt it. But when new consoles are revealed, MS will go first I think.

That would make for a hell of an E3 but I don't think it'll happen. Still too early.

what if sony and microsoft merged together in to one video game company what whould happen and made a console?

theyd be called sonysoft and make a console that uses 1.21 jigawats of power

No, they won't................

if you have looked at the news you should know what their doing,
Microsoft:They just bought Skype so no new consoles for about some months/years
Sony:They cant release a PS4 withou dealing with the PSN Hacked,they gotta find the perfect hardware for security

Added after 5 minutes:

Didn't Sony and Microsoft announce that they would wait a few more years due to bad economy?

on g4 i think it was adam sessler who said microsoft will be announcing their next console at e3 which will feature 3d in 720p? or somethin like that. it aired 2 or 3 days ago

But the recession ended earlier last year.

I am guessing they will both be shown e3 2012 and we will get them early 2013 or holiday season 2012. Just my guess

No.
In a year they'll know all nintendo's next console's secrets and they'll be able to copy them for their next system then.

LOL did it?

Nintendo have a hard road ahead to get a lot of sales for the wii2 due to people being broke now and buying the wii during the good times, ie: 2006 to 2009, people are broke now.

Sony has at least 5 years left in the PS3
MS has at least 2/3 years left in the X360, but will prob announce something at next years e3, maybe a handheld and then new home system the year after, 2013.

MS @ E3 2013
Sony @ E3 2014

My predictions.

Do you guys/girls know that we are still in a recession. Every state is struggling. Some more than others. The GDP (gross national product) is still way down, the housing market sees some momentary bumps here and there (and some people in the the Government start saying "the recessions over, the recessions over" like chicken little), but every bump has proved to be momentary and housing still falls, and the stock market is teetering around improvement and collapse. The recession won't be over until countries start buying from us again (our dollar is rated low so that's not a plus for us), unemployment levels get to around 9% or less, our dollar increase in value (which means that the federal reserve, a private agency not government like many think, stops printing money), and the housing, commercial, and industrial property markets improve a great deal without the influx of foreclosures. When people start saying, the housing market is improving, but that month there was major foreclosure listings, it doesn't mean the housing market is better, it only means that there was a lot of foreclosures and investors as well as residents capitalized on someone else's misery.

Bottom line, even the non-partisan CBO puts the recession maybe reducing by 2014, but that's really just guess work. The recession hasn't ended, we just aren't getting much worse right now. When the recession starts to end you will see more confidence in stocks, gold will go down in price (right it keeps going up), housing will be much better and the Government would stop ordering money like candy to chidden.

Little economics lesson there, sorry. I digress.

Given all that in which I said above (and trust me I could write pages on the subject, I won't), I'm guessing if Microsoft releases another X-Box or Playstation releases another Playstation, it will be at least 2013-14 for X-Box, and 2015 for Playstaion. But that will also depend on the success of the WII 2. Companies make moves in the form of new products a lot of times in response to competition. And if the Microsoft or Sony releases anytime before, you will probably see their major add efforts in other countries other than the US. The US will buy the systems but they have a better chance of increased profit in other countries. Just my two cents. Finance used to be my job, and in my own investments still kind of is.

Sony will not announce another console when they have done no promotion and little marketing on their NGP yet. We got a reveal and some ports running on it back in January. Do you really think they would be stupid enough to take the limelight off the NGP with another new system?

Microsoft - it's possible. With Project Caf?, 3DS and NGP being the stars of the show. They will need to pull something out of the hat whether thats a console or not I'm not sure of.

All you guys commenting we are still in a recession don't know anything. Btw the GDP is only one factor, and it's up, not down.

The recession officially ended last year. Some things are still down but those things usually lag behind, such as jobs.

Microsoft, apart from Kinect, are running out of steam so fast it's silly.

Forza 4 and Gears 3? Inevitable sequels. Nothing exciting.

Spoken almost word for word from a CNN news conference with president Obama. What fooled trust you have. We need a new thread just to debate this. I stand by what I wrote above. That's a very well researched opinion and if you research it as well to the financial level I have I'm sure you would come to the same conclusion.

Sony Playstation Division Posts Profit for FY2011 | TSSZ News

While I hope the new consoles are released about at the same time ,so the next nintendo home console wont be to far behind in graphics because if they come out 2 years or so after the release of cafe the graphical difference may be high, than again graphical differences now days are harder to tell than it was years ago.

I'd argue that the current games smash the surface as to what the PS3 can really do. There's only so much you can do with a 7800, mind you.

Huh, and cite a reference to complete your argument. Aren't you the one trying to argue with me on one or two other threadscas well. Are you following me there Dung? You know if you wanted to talk to me there are easiervways than finding me on these threads (joking, don't take offense)

I get the impresion you "would argue" a lot on forums. I like that about you. Keep it up.

i think sony should stick to home consoles cause their handheld ones aren't that good imp

Perfectly good link my old-no-longer in use account left here.

I like how the report time traveled into next year to get the fiscal earnings for this year.
Is it their forecastings for Fiscal Year 2011 or as above?

Do I need to cite a reference? I'm using common sense here. PS3 isn't some magic console that requires the best of the world's minds to unlock its secrets.

they didn't tapped inside the fairy dust chip yet dude.

Microsoft has said many times, that the new S will be sufficient to atleast 2015

Ps4 is just around the corner,

Nope. The 360 and PS3 both just released brand new controllers. Graphically, they both still look pretty good, and it's becoming more and more obvious that graphics alone won't be the focus on consoles going forward. Because the PS3 and 360 are easily upgraded with new hardware, I doubt we'll see their successors for another couple of years. Announcement in 2012 with release in 2013 at the earliest.

We won't see an upgrade until the internal hardware of the consoles begin to hamper innovation, as was happening with the wii.

And im not saying the there is any secrets that have yet to be unlocked, but there are parts of the system that have yet to be used. We already went through this (with you as well) on a different forum, and this isn't really the thread to discuss this. Let me just state in a way you will understand that in the same way Nintendo 3ds could use an 8gb cartridge, developers have ween restricted to only two. The same is with the PS3 in that that restrict how many gb's used for now and the full ability of the blu-ray isn't being used in gaming. Developers also have to develop games that will work on all systems to really make good money. So if a developer is developing a game that is to be played on the 360 and maybe WII, why go the extra mile and develop more content for the PS3 (I know sometimes there is more content added but it is ussually minimal, like a costume or half a level that took half a day to write).

Now when more systems come out with more disc space (I'll bet they use Blu-ray which Sony owns) then I'm sure Playstation will release restriction and developers will develop bigger games for all systems, yea. This is why PLaystation will release their next system last in the console wars and this is because the Playstation dose'nt need an update until other systems catch up. That's why most people on this thread have said PS3 would be last, Nintendo first (finally moving in the HD world), Microsoft next (they will have a bigger and better system but probably also use Blu-ray), then Sony will match and beat the previous systems and again we have the console war saga part three.
(veiled Star Wars reference there, sorry).

I think if either do it will definately be microsoft.

microsoft will reveal an xbox 360 with kinect built into it. E3 2012 they'll reveal the next gen console. that's my prediction.

How would that work?

I'm not expecting new consoles from them for another few years.

Sony and Microsoft "just" released Kinect and Move, and sales are now growing for both companies, so there's no reason to release a new console in 2012/2013. And back in 2006 Sony stated that the PS3 will last for a decade (that's ten years btw...) Microsoft just started hiring people for the position "defining and delivering next generation console architectures", so I wouldn't expect a new console from either companies until 2015 at the earliest.

Sony and Microsoft are already pretty advance in there consoles. The earliest i see is 2012 or 2013 if Nintendo gives them something to fear with the Nintendo StreamingFeelingsCafe.

@Wix you are mistaking it's life cycle with how long until the next console. The PS2's life cycle isn't over yet just to help you figure out what they mean. If you can't then read below.















The 10 year life cycle is how long they will support it. So games may still come to it 10 years after it is released and production for the console may still continue 10 years after it's introduction. It's more of a goal than a Garantee I think. Both the PS1 and the PS2 made this as well. In fact the PS2 is either on year 11 or year 12 I think.

I see. But as I said, as far as we know Sony hasn't even begun designing PS4. I strongly doubt we'll see a new home console from them in the near future. But you're right about the life cycle thing.

If the ps4 is around the corner, the xbox 720 is closer. Just saying since the PS3 is graphically superior

Added after 3 minutes:

I don't doubt that it's in development right now. I wouldn't be surprised to see a "playstation meeting" about it in January. My point was though that just because they say it has a 10 year life cycle doesn't mean it won't come out after the PS3 has been here for 10 years.

I wouldn't bet a release date earlier than 2013 though, so we do still have some time.

I think they will in 2013.

Microsoft conference aired. No new Microsoft consoles.

Yeah, I think they may debut in E3 2012. I'd like Nintendo to wait at least until that time to launch their newest console.

I think it's to early. See Nintendo been on the 3ds and Wii 2 for a while s why hold back? Yeah but Microsoft just announced the Kinnect so they are good for now. And Sony.......

no new consoles for either

Microsoft obviously didn't announce anything. They seem to be dragging this generation out very long..... and quite dry after watching their press conference. I'm very excited for Mass Effect 3, and yes even Halo 4 and the Combat Evolved remake. Though I have a feeling Sony is going hit Microsoft pretty hard in a moment from now. A new console, probably not, but games yes. Tomorrow Nintendo will put them both in their place. XD

No such thing happened.
