Report: Both New Xbox and PS4 Will Be Shown At E3

4.6
K games industry outlet MCV has reported that both the next Xbox AND the PlayStation 4 will be shown at this year's E3 in June.

This isn't the first time that a publication has cited an unnamed source with information like this, but this isn't some unknown central European games blog - MCV's credibilty makes this particular report worth paying attention to.

Speaking on Twitter, MCV's online editor Ben Parfitt said "Obviously we can't reveal our sources. But you have my personal word on this - the source is exemplary, 100% concrete, ultra high level."

We shouldn't necessarily expect a full-blown reveal, though - we might just see the announcement. Editor-in-Chief Michael French told IGN: "This is very credible. Even if we don't see the hardware itself, or know a price or date, key publishers and developers are expecting some nod towards what direction PS4 will take at E3 this year. Sony isn't stupid - it knows that if Microsoft is planning to also say something about its next console, it can't be left behind."

Many were expecting Microsoft to come out on stage at E3 with some information about the new Xbox, but Sony's reveal would be more surprising, as a new console at this stage in the PlayStation 3's life cycle would fly in the face of the company's stated "ten-year plan".

If both Sony and Microsoft do indeed reveal their new consoles at the same time as Nintendo details the release schedule and pricing for the Wii U, this would quite probably be the biggest E3 in history.

Zerkos There's not much difference they can make, but graphics will most likely improve.


That's so true. I mean what else is there to make or add on? It'll be real hard to surprise gamers.

You obviously no nothing about specs then. The new xbox is getting a tremendous hardware upgrade , and there will probably be a lot more storage available.

Yeah the hard drives are gonna be like 1TB, Microsoft are really gonna stress games on demand a lot more.

technically the graphics couldnt get any better then the tv's at 1080P, but the engine could definitly change the picture to make everything look super smooth ! But the graphic change that will blow you away will be when the tv's go above 1080P which i dont think will happen for a while, if it does at all. Its hard to imagine how much better they can be.

From a super high up, credible source we may see hardware, or just an announcement or nothing at all...

Why was this even written?

Maybe some info will be released at CES 2012, which is today at 6:30PM. Rickshaw and hippie will be able to update us.

If they come out in 2013-2014 it will be pointless.
