I say, let them take their time. I don't want them to pull out another $599 stunt.
(plus they need to pull out a new bait format gimmick like they did with the DVD on PS2 and BluRay on PS3)

I am just going to stick to PC games from now on anyway.
To many cinemas and QTE's in most console games these days. Dark Souls and Space Marine were the only console games that I played last year that felt like they were not trying to be movies.
I own both of the systems, btw.

If they don't they will probably get a repeat of this gen and lose a ton of developers and support to microsoft and nintendo
They're just saying this so they can surprise us with a new console the day AFTER E3. It will be made of solid gold, covered in Subway subs (decorated with the skin flakes of Nathan Drake), and drenched in the blood of the innocent. It will only cost a leg and an arm. Literally.
@darkcult
how is it overdue? this generation of games has aged very well for me and I can easily see it last another 3 years.

I kinda wish he were lying. Less time to wait for the eventual Slim PS4 and massive price drop. Get the early-adopter ass-raping over with early.
Sony could easily screw over nintendo by anouncing a new console in e3. Nobody would buy a wii u if a more powerful console is just around the corner.
Good, take your time the 360 rushed and it bit em in the ass alot, I'm sure as hell not buying a launch day anything from them period.
I don't see a PS4 until 2014 at the earliest. Microsoft may jump the gun, but I don't see Sony following suit.
Please god don't announce a new console. I don't have the money for it. Especially when the Vita is asking $300.
Guess they'll unveil ps4 next year considering they need to focus on the vita this year herderp de derp
I reckon 2013 or 2014 at the earliest when allowing for two or three years of overlap with the PS4 in the PS3's ten year life cycle. (Just like the PS2 and PS3.)
I have at least two years worth of games I still need time to play on my PS3 before I could consider getting a PS4 anyway.

The Ps3 is doing pretty good, is even about to surpass the xbox, there is no need for a ps4 now. Sony should take their time and wait.
Good. Maybe next year, but not this year. If they do announce it next year, I want them to release it a year after announcement. Like Nintendo.
OT, I didn't expect either sony or Microsoft to launch anything for awhile, and highly doubted much in the way of announcements as well(perhaps an e3 "reveal" similar to the wiiu: not a lot of info about a far off product.).
You've got to be kidding. As much as I'm excited for a new generation of consoles, I know that when they are announced they will be a pipe dream for many except for the most hardcore gamers. The PS3 and XBox 360 can still make it to MILLIONS of consumers with a further $50 or $100 price drop. Also, considering that the current crop of consoles can still produce 'pretty' graphics and the costs of developing games are still very high, I frankly do not see a need, so to speak, for the next console war. With the AMAZING lineup set for this year (and quite possibly for the next), there are plenty of experiences to keep gamers busy. I know nobody cares but I still game on a DS and a PS2 so a shiny new set of consoles would mean more day dreams for me.
i just hope pretty much all of the features of the PS3 are included.
that means being able to create multiple accounts(unlike vita where you delete everything before using another account) PS3 BC, Region Free(please please don't fuck this up) also being able to create accounts on any region, improve XMB and pretty much everything you had ope for(new graphics card, ram and such) bring back the triggers from PS2(PS3 controller is perfect but the triggers are iffy, at least the PDP Dual Triggers removes this problem 100%)
new features i would want(heck they could even put some of these on PS3 right now)
region free BD drive(technically it is since the US and JPN movies are in the same region code) but it would be better for everyone to truly play any movies in any country at any time. faster BD speed(definitely can lessen the load times) FLAC and MKV supported files(do not know why sony won't even bother putting this in)
that's pretty much it for now

LOL same2 :P
actually been playing digital devil saga and recently finished Shinobi and Persona 3 FES(The Answer included).
do not know why people want new things. heck in my current backlog i could pretty much lasted around 5 years without buying anything.

While I don't partly believe the idea, one would think this would be the year to let Vita have its chance to shine before being overshadowed by a console announcement.
Its what Nintendo should have done last year, but sadly 3DS was a slow started and they rushed a half-hearted Wii U unveiling when they should have waited.
Either way, next gen can wait. This gen didn't truly hit its stride til last year. I know developers want their new shiny hardware, but they should learn to make the best use of what we have now first before moving on. In that regard, there are plenty of developers with room left to grow.

I'm with BumGamer & PrinceHeir.
PS2 and DS seems to be the greatest portable and console gaming combination of all time. I still have hundreds of games to get for both.
I just started considering purchasing some MegaTen games (Nocturne, DS 1 & 2 and DDS 1 & 2 for PS2, Strange Journey for DS). I won't need even a PS3, 3DS or new gaming system past those for a long long time.

Yeah the earliest, and I mean the earliest I would want a new console would be late 2013. I can understand the urge to get a new console out on the market and be the first to jump into the new generation, but honestly, I do not know if the audience at large is ready to shell out more money.
Echoing what a lot of others have already stated, the consoles have aged remarkably well and this is coming from a guy who plays mostly PC games. The innovative/graphical/etc jump from generation to generation has narrowed with each new transition to the next generation. Sony and Microsoft should not feel in a hurry to divide their resources into a new console.

I'm fine with this. I'm developing a monster backlog that I don't expect to clear until 2014 at this point.
Well my attention is all on WiiU, so I really hope that Sony don't announce anything. Both my wallet and my brain couldn't take it.
That is assuming that Sony has a business strategy... and I think that's giving them far too much credit.
I don't understand why any console needs to be replaced now (maybe the Wii but that's because it was never HD, although personally I don't find it necessary anyways). The PS3 games look freaking beautiful and most game developers should have a solid grasp to be able to make good games for it. It's well established, plays blu-rays, it's HD, and if you wanna go the extra mile you have motion control devices. Do we really need ANOTHER console NOW? It's not like there's an upgrade of HD or blurays coming any time soon.
I say Sony should stick with Vita and make sure it gets a lot of good games.

As far as I am concerned this new gen can wait afew more years.
Not for me
But for the companies
development costs are already through the roof, companies cant make profit, they cant do original games, give it time

I still expect a tease of a new console this year it dosen't have to be a full on announcement either. I know sony and microsoft have something up there sleeves. Oh well dosen't matter anyways I'm just focused on the Vita and Wii U this year.
@Stealth
Never understood this. In terms of game develepment, I can't see costs skyrocketing at all. 9 out of 10 games are on the pc too at a much higher resolution, DX11 support, better textures and just higher quality overall.
I wouldn't expect the next gen hardware to go past the high end gaming pcs right now either.

@Static Jak
It depends. They might try to go past it which is theoretically possible.
If they stick with bluray sized disks, thats fine, if they move to the holographic blurays, all bets are off

Storage aint really an issue tbh. We're going into a digital age where optical is going out the door. Consoles will have them, but it won't be anything important tbh.
My guess is that at least MS will have their digital store selling console titles at release. Digital distribution is the future and these machines will be around for at least 5-6 years.
Most likely installation will be the norm for retail copies.
Anyway, not sure how this largely connects or effects development cost of games. Or relates to my post overall.

What was any different last gen exactly?

Last gen Games rarely had 100 million $ budgets. Or more like never.
You know, awesome graphics and voiceacting troughout cost a lot of money.

Every Sony system has been released on a 6 year interval to the previous system. This is the 6 year anniversary to the PS3's release. We'll be seeing something about the PS4 this year, if not at E3.
Oh, and 10 year lifespan probably means they'll support the system for 10 years, look at how they supported the PS2 well after the PS3's release. Unlike Microsoft and Nintendo, they dont murder previous gen support after the new model is out.

considering how many xboxs I went through, the next gen of hardware can't come soon enough. Microsoft better not be cheap next gen or I'll be done with them. I have a whole backlog of games now that I CAN'T PLAY!!! Lower the damn price of the 360 already!!! Why is it still 200 bucks!?
