PSM3 March Issue: Playstation 4 Set For E3 2012, 'More At TGS'

**Terminator 101** · 02-12-2012

"the source is exemplary, 100 per cent concrete, ultra high level"

Yup that definitely makes it plausible... NOT

"the source is exemplary, 100 per cent concrete, ultra high level"?... That sounds like what a third grader would say

**Soldier 95B** · 02-12-2012

This was already debunked by Sony, so the article is complete fabrication, lol.

During a reporter roundtable at this year’s CES, the Wall Street Journal approached Sony executive Kaz Hirai about the possibility of a Playstation 4 announcement at this year’s E3. He quickly debunked the rumor. ”Andy (House) is absolutely right in that we are not making any announcements at E3. I’ve always said a 10-year life cycle for PS3, and there is no reason to go away from that.”

Journalism is getting pretty bad on the internet.

**Ghost-Rhayne** · 02-12-2012

MS and Sony have both claimed there will be nothing new this E3.

**Inzane2050** · 02-12-2012

Sony isn't going to announce the announcement. That would completely defeat the purpose, haha. Sony will say there absolutely no plans for the PS4. That is until they announce it. So the PS4 @ E3 can actually be a very real thing.

Yep, they would deny it. They wouldn't say. "Ohhh! you caught us. U guessed it! We are announcing the ps4 at e3. Please stay excited and be shocked."

Already debunked by Sony. No PS4 announcement at this year's E3. Bummer though, I would like to see it announced soon.

I still say it's not gonna be at E3 2012 and that Sony's conference will focus more on the PS Vita.

We can hope Sony will focus only on the Vita. We all know Sony loves to divide it's focus among it's many platforms.

Ah, I see what you did there

**snooper71** · 02-12-2012

Cologne, Germany... That's where you'll hear about the next SONY branded console (doubt it will be called PS3) You heard it on PSU first!!!

winter 2014 release or early 2015 (Launch in japan fall 2013, rest of the world in spring 2014)

it's plausible, and then up coming rumoured games will be have time to be released,but I don't expect anything soon

**daLa** · 02-12-2012

I honestly don't think it's true, but unless Microsoft does make an official announcement of their new console it may push them to release it.

**RaY_210** · 02-12-2012

Well, if it does indeed end up releasing sooner rather than later, at least ps3 game prices will go down so I can catch up on everything I missed out on the last 5 years lol

The E3 2005 footage probably wont be accurate for the PS4 either

He needs to save even less than 50$ a month. IMO its coming out in november 2013. Thats 21 months away. Lets presume it will cost 500$. And games will be 60$. So in order to get the console and lets say 3 games one must save about 35$ a month

They coded their shaders so damn well to look so realistic! It literally looks CGI even tho their tech is no different than what's used in any other game. And dat motion blur...

why not get that on playstation? it was the lead platform

I should have. I just figured that this game had an install feature so I wouldn't have to constantly swap discs, but apparently that idea got scrapped last minute.

**D3seeker** · 02-13-2012

I can see MS revealing something, things seemed to be geared toward that. But Sony seems more of a mixed bag. A tech demo perhaps (or at least I'd hope)

**TDbank24** · 02-13-2012

I'd be surprised if we didn't see the PS4 or Xbox 720 at E3 this year.

Remember when Sony said the PS3 was built to have projected 10yr span?

For what it's worth, Nintendo did that last year with the Wii U. But for whatever reason, gaming outlets still chose to question if it indeed was a new console. But this is a completely different situation. It was obvious the Wii was dieing. The PS3 can go on for a few more years and still has regular releases.

**Inzane2050** · 02-13-2012

The Wii has never been dying tho. There isn't any reason for thinking that.

**mynd** · 02-13-2012

I don't think the PS4 is going to be shown, but anything could happen I guess.

So do you think when the PS4 releases next year that will be the end of PS3? They will still support the PS3 as they have done with the PS2 when the PS3 was released, also they still supported the PS1 when the PS2 was released. Is this really so hard to understand? I always see someone post this when there is a mention of the PS4 releasing soon. Please people think about it for fuck sake.

Haha This! The 10 year life span claim by Sony is both confidence in the future proof nature of the tech and also confidence for the consumer to know that their investment will see ongoing support for times to come. Infact Sony stated a minimum of 10 years for the PS3 life cycle.
