The press conference will be live from Cologne in 3 minutes from now. Unlike the year before, we're getting a live stream of the conference so hopefully the site above will give you guys an adequate experience. If you find other live stream sites, please post them here to give us more variety!.

Will Sony announce new IP's?. Will they reveal their new Playstation Super Slim?!. Or will they just show new trailers of what we already saw in E3 2012?. What about the PS Vita and future support?. Comment away and share your thoughts!.

Vita will shine in their conference, I'm sure. The website states that the future of the PS brand will be talked about. PS4 reveal or Vita talk?

If they reveal the PS4 then this will truly be a happy day!. But I doubt it. Still, I really want to see what I can look forward to for the Vita and a release date to that PSOne classics firmware update.

I honestly don't think they will be announcing the PS4 til The Last of Us and Beyond are released..that would be a stupid move.

[Fon]

Press conference will start in 52 minutes!.

I agree completely!. That's something I hope they stay away from next gen - The whole franchise business.

[Soldier 95B]

No, it's actually a year or so late. The more they delay a reveal, the more core consumers will find alternatives - Norm being PC gaming.

[YoungMullah88]

^^^ most definitely they will announce the new slim with a price cut and a vita bundle with cod vita

[Fon]

24 Minutes you guys. Man, I hope that live stream works for all of us.

The PS3 has been out for less than 6 years, and they said from the start it will have a 10 year life cycle. You are naive if you think we will even see a glimpse of it before 2014.

Jesus not this 10 year life cicle again. Both consoles will co-exist at least for 2-3 years.

The PS2 also had a projected 10 year life cycle and the PS3 was released before that timeline. They can release the Playstation 4 and continue their 10 year life cycle plan for the PS3.

This year we've seen the new Starwars game that is basically a next gen console ready game. We have Watch Dogs, a vastly superior Battlefield 3 for PC and the reveal of Unreal Engine 4 along with a fully powered CryEngine 3. You have publishers already said to be working on next generation projects. We are ready for the next generation, it will be disastrous for both console makers to delay any further or else developers will focus their major titles on to the PC platform(Or rather, go the same route as Battlefield 3 and make the PC version greatly superior).

Really hoping Vita gets the screen time it deserves, unlike at E3.

[snooper71]

How long will the wonderbook presentation last? Bets are open!!!

I concur.

Roughly a minute left until the conference. There better not be any malfunctions this time. >_>

@snooper71, 25 minutes!

Setting up...

[Fon]

[Dave-The-Rave]

For the first time ever I already know the Playstation montage song !! Love Madeon.

[Fon]

It was better then E3's. I wasn't too fond of it.

[Fon]

Now they'll be talking about Vita, starting with LittleBigPlanet.

[YoungMullah88]
