PS4 and Next-Generation Xbox to be announced in March?

4.4
Rumors have been published in the February edition of Game Informer that suggest that both Microsoft and Sony will be delivering "special Apple-style press conferences" right before E3.

Sources have now confirmed that both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox 720 game platforms will be revealed before E3, although no specific dates have been given at this time.

"We hear that both Sony and Microsoft are targeting special Apple-style press conferences to unveil their platforms near the Game Developers Conference in late March," reads the Game Informer report.

"E3 in June may be the industry's biggest event, but both companies want to give their systems their own limelight," the piece adds.

Analyst Colin Sebastian of Baird Equity Research has suggested that the PS4 and the Xbox 720 will be priced in the $350-$400 range.

VisionaryMGMT $350-$400? Why don't you guys just put $500 towards a Gaming PC, have a LOT of fun with it and have it last for a while? oh wait, and free online and great steam deals daily. Yup.


Because you're not paying for the quality with the Xbox/Playstation, you're paying for the reliability and sense of security in knowing(or at least thinking) that it's a somewhat well built console with support from most major developers, so you'll be able to get your favorite games. Plus, a gaming console appeals more to the average family, considering it's moderately priced and it has content suitable for children, teenagers, and adults. That's just my two cents though.


Yes but here's where things get important.

I've had 3 xboxs. 1 Banned, 1 CD tray broke, and 1 working now.

Oh your CD Tray broke? With an xbox, you can't just spend $20 on a new CD tray and replace it. You need to dump another $200 down the drain. Not only that, but (sometimes) PC parts come with a lifetime warrenty. if it EVER breaks, you get a new one for free.

Oh wait, console bans? Can't happen on PC. They can only ban your account, which, is amazing.


1)Most games on xbox and ps3 server ban now. Example, my gt is banned on black ops 2 server but is online safe.
2)I would rather shovel out the amount for a console and pay the warranty than pay double that to get a computer to run the game with the quality of a console.
3)PC will ALWAYS be underdogged. Just go on Black Ops 2 and look at the player count, last time i checked your under 20k players. ;) Ps3 is close to 750k people playing just on Black Ops 2 alone.
4)It isn't hard to replace a dvd drive for an xbox, just need to dump, swap keys and etc, flash and your done.

I in no way ment to be offensive by the way :)

What the hell does player count have to do with anything? If you own a PC you're not going to play BO2 lol. League of Legends & WoW are some of the most played games of all time. WITH MILLIONS ON AT 1 POINT.
>You ONLY need to get a new disk tray dump, swap keys, flash and you're done

You only need to remove a few screws on PC.


I'm not saying one is better for the other, but for the original comment I believe its really stupid. I, like millions of people, like space to play in (living room) and whatever position we like to play in (laying down, sitting on couch, chair, etc..) as opposed to awkwardly sitting on a chair being slouched over a table. I like to play on big HDTVs from a distance and not from being a foot away from a monitor. We don't care about graphics because who gives a **** to be honest, if we are having fun we don't care. PC gamers can rave all they want about having better performance, I'm going to rave about how much time, energy, and money it didn't take me to have the same fun experience PC only players have. It's all about being comfortable.

Steam big picture mode, optimized for living room TVs. Play on low settings if you don't care about graphics.
>Same fun experience
>DayZ.

FlashysLobbies I hope it's good.

i hope they have set up a bigger swap over period. because i have tones of games that i have not even played on the 360. i think the swap over period from xbox to xbox360 was only a year. the 360 must have double the amount of games released for the platform plus only a few of the xbox games worked on the 360 :(

8th i hope we are able to play xbox 360 games on the new xbox... i am not trying to bu all new games


They will most likely let you play most new games on it.

PSNSUKS HAHAHA SONY SUCKS..PSN SUCKS..AND ALL YOU PSFLEE GAMERS SUK TO FOR USING THE SYSTEM. LOL AT U SONY FANBOYS


You make me laugh. Are you even old enough to own a 360? I have both and the PS3 is superior hands down. Why? The psn exclusive games have graphics so intense the ca only be beat by the PC not by some shitty 360.
