GameStop expects new console announcements at E3 2016

4.6
US retailer GameStop has said in the latest earnings report that it expects new console announcements to be made at E3 in June. Although the retailer wasn’t specific, for obvious reasons, it was at least comfortable enough to let investors know it’s happening.

“We expect E3 to focus on key titles in the back half of the year and console announcements,” COO Tony Bartel said, as reported by Gamespot.

“We also expect VR to generate significant gaming consumer and press interest.”

With that said, GameStop has yet to reveal projected sales for these new units, and appears to have only included the Nintendo NX in one of presentation slide.

Reports have been coming in hot and heavy about new consoles being in the works at both Sony and Microsoft. Both platform holders are said to be prepping upgraded versions of the current systems.

PS4 Neo in Sony’s case, and Xbox One Scorpio in Microsoft’s case.

I hope to god they don't release a new console already. Let it be out for as long as the 360 was.

Ary Kinda makes me glad I built a new gaming pc... I don't have money to buy a console 4 times in a generation.... Xbox 360 and PS3 were great purely because of the plug and play without massive upgrades mid cycle. Why both think that's going to do something other than piss people off is beyond me.


you can get 2 console generations for the priceof 1 pc running a nice sli setup.


Wow. You mean I can buy TWO whole steaming piles of sh*t, versus one AMAZING gaming computer?!

Will the world ever stop amazing me?!

Really though, This has to stop. Both companies need to take a step back and realize what the people want. Sony has been doing good, but Microsoft has seen nothing but loss(compared to how the 360 did) and yet they continue to move forward despite player base constantly complaining. Sounds like CoD, only they don't break records. Lol.

Potion I really hope the new Xbox is smaller than the One. The Xbox ones size is one of my two complaints with the second being no replaceable hard drive.
I totally agree with you on the HDD. However I really like Xbox one and I don't plan on upgrading soon. The space sucks though.
