PS4 and 720 to be revealed in MARCH!! PS4 out the door first!

[Fatboi1]

Sony and Microsoft are preparing "special Apple-style press conferences" to reveal their next-generation consoles "near the Game Developers Conference in late March", a new Game Informer report has alleged.

The magazine suggests that both platform holders will reveal the hardware around GDC, which takes place in San Francisco between March 25-29, before showing off next-gen titles at E3.

"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 report in the magazine's February 2013 issue.

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

"That doesn't mean E3 won't be without its surprises. Next-gen games will be announced at the convention in preparation for the systems' release at the end of the year."

The magazine also suggests that PlayStation 4, rumoured to be codenamed Orbis, may be targeting a release ahead of Microsoft's next-generation Xbox.

"We hear that Sony in particular is determined not to come out last this time like the PlayStation 3 did this generation, so we'll have to see how soon it can get the PlayStation 4 out the door, and whether Microsoft is motivated to prevent this from happening."

The report appears to contradict comments allegedly made by Sony Home Entertainment VP Hiroshi Sakatomi during last week's CES.

The exec suggested that the imminent reveal of a next-generation PlayStation was indeed on the cards, but that the firm would be waiting until "May at least" for its announcement.

Certain developers are expected to have received devkits for Sony and Microsoft's next-generation systems already.

Back in November, the founder of Just Cause 2 developer Avalanche Studios tweeted that the studio was shipping back Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 devkits to make room for next-generation consoles.

Edit:
Some new info from Digital Foundry
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/df-hardware-orbis-unmasked-what-to-expect-from-next-gen-console

...........We also have hard data on Orbis's memory set-up. It features 4GB of GDDR5 - the ultra-fast RAM that typically ships with the latest PC graphics cards - with 512MB reserved for the operating system. This is in stark contrast to the much slower DDR3 that Durango will almost certainly ship with. Microsoft looks set to be using an offshoot of eDRAM technology connected to the graphics core to offset the bandwidth issues the use of DDR3 incurs. Volume of RAM is the key element in Durango's favour - there'll be 8GB in total, with a significant amount (two sources we've spoken to suggest 3GB in total) reserved for the OS..............

You know, if you won last gen you wouldn't be all that concerned with what the competition is doing

Now we gonna take the word from game informer and fatboi as fact
Do they post on Neogaf or something

I already spoke on this a few times today New PlayStation 3 Hack May Be One That Sony Can't Stop
What has changed for PSN?

Developers know about what I'm talking about, they gotta pay for it on the PsN side. Also hardware on the playstation side has always been a bytch to program for
Why you think the Xbox is the lead platform this gen?
I was around as I watched you idiots claim how M$ was buying games to be on there system. When the truth is they would of paid to come over
When ports routinely were inferior for ps3 you guys said the dev's were lazy

How bout we finally all grow up and cut the bullshyt. PS4 has to have something everyone wants. It has to innovate somehow. If it can't differentiate itself from the pack? It has no chance of expanding. It can't do what Xbox does best, better than Xbox does it. That's all Sony has tried to do this entire gen. Beat the competition at its own games which is retarded. Sony has literally brought nothing to the table this gen, and there is no indication that the future will be any different. If so, please speak on it

Not sure who courtdog is, but I detect that facts have

I'm not one of the three musketeer brothers. And Sony still hasn't said shyt about the future of PSN, but if it's not a pay service? Then it's doomed to suffer from the same shyt that has destroyed online gameplay via the ps3
You guys might as well use xlink-Kai

You sound shook. Go eat your sandwich.

Xbox is the lead platform for PC DEVS, primarily.

Sony has now bridged that gap in programming games with the illustrious ps4, which you will own and need in your life, while i, dont need a 720 in mine.

Xbox is outsold around everywhere except America, pc heaven.

Less xbox's are owned by human beings then PS3's.

Trashbox is going to be annihilated once and for all this gen. They better buy Call of Duty because Gears and Halo wont cut it.

Halo 3 sold 5 mill in 2 weeks. Halo 4, is struggling around 4million, currently.

Its over nikka. xbox was a fukkin gnat for this gen of gaming squandering its potential with this multiplatform rubbish and these lazy American devs bytching about programming. Now, with the release of the ps4, the greatest console in the history of gaming, the mistakes have been learned. Lazy cac devs can now make games effortlessly and now Trashbox, youz cant leave. Time to get the fuk out the business.




Proves you lost already

ps4 to have 6gB GDDR5 ram confirmed.

link? That is impressive and I am assuming that is a shared solution between gpu and system ram.

 

[(ALi)]

I believe it when I read a quote confirming this from SONY.
A few months back I was ready for a new console but now with access to all these PS3 games I'm good.
