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.

I wonder if PS4 will have free online? If it does, I might buy it, and seeing how its a fresh start on consoles, me and my friends can decide on 1 console to get and we all can play online together. I hate the PS controllers, but Wal Mart sells PS controllers that are shaped like Xbox ones.

I can't wait to see what these consoles look like. I hope that the graphics are even better then they are now. (They are already pretty spectacular.) The only bummer to new consoles is, new games. Which means a lot of $$$ will be spent when I buy them. :(

I heard that they said no to the ps4, maybe that it's incomplete or something similar.

TheBrownGuy I feel like they might be rushing the next gen consoles


Yeah I feel what your saying but they might have been developing before we knew?

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.


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.


umm no. 1080p is how clear you see the image, has nothing to do with game or graphics.


When the orignal xbox came out, we never thought that could get any better... but then xbox 360 came out! new look, new memory, new games, a Kinect, xbox live, market place, MULITPLAYER, and more.. Trust me.. theres going to be stuff on the new xbox we would of never thought about, and a year after the new xbox comes out were going to think to our selves wow how did we play xbox 360 without (What ever new thing is on the new xbox) Xbox is going to be crazy when it comes out... Dont underesitmate it.
