I'd like Eyetoy renamed to PS Lense

Well, I guess they could have started it on PC, but I just assumed that was the starting point.
xbox will launch in all major markets this year. PlayStation probably us and japan... maybe uk. Other markets feb 2014

As of today, i do agree that they do not. However, prior to the PS3 launch, they did as the PS2 encountered massive global success and adoption. They simply expected PS2 owners to jump onto the PS3, whatever the price tag. But they did not, due to marketing and advertising. I mean, when you hear of the PS3 for the first time, and you see this ad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJaGScKpZuU) , do you actually feel attracted to the product ? Not me, on the contrary it pushes me away from it and just go on thinking : What the fuck was that ? Totally wrong message.
Indeed tt was, nothing remarkable, E3 was very poor. The Last of Us was good, however.
But this year, if there is one or even the two console reveals, the hype is on.

Microsoft will definitely have a subsidized 250 or 300 dollar system but I'm not sure if Sony will do that with playstation plus.

E3 2013 will be very interesting.

If both launch this year I'm budgeting 1500 dollars for gaming. PopcornMegaphone is hungry and it's time to eat.

Not initially. There's always large differences in the beginning as devs get used to the strengths and weaknesses of each machine.
I remember Jack T saying that it's not being first, it's about being the best. Bunch of marketing PR to later pad the rationalization in case of PS4's launch after XB3. I really hope they forgo Japan (provided they plan to release there before XB3 and perhaps around the same time, Nov/Dec, in NA and hopefully EU).
On a related note on how this thread is going:
I can already sniff the fanboy desperation: "my upcoming purchase is better than your upcoming purchase... because it's got more/faster XYZ. Let me quote others on things I don't understand to justify my claim. etc" Yet no one has seen anything concrete as to the results and won't be until E3.
Oh god, how I have missed fanboy wars. Chumming the waters this E3.

Hopefully Sony isn't stupid enough to pass that up. They should definitely do it.

Honestly, for most casual consumers the differences between the early PS3/360 titles weren't that big. Message boards over blow the differences.
File for divorce. It's your only option. Feel the HYPE in your veins.

Maaaaaybe, but I doubt publishers would deem it financially wise to do so.

Blood in the water time
Once all the specs lay and it will be interesting to see if price is the true game winner here and if Sony wants to try to take on the debt and do a 199.99 deal or something. Then...there will be blood.

would it work at its current price? sony have to use that money to secure new games they often give away for free as well as help support their online infrastructure and so on.
I hope they do it though. buying subsidised consoles would make it much easier on my wallet and result in me buying a number of more launch titles.
I've just booked a 2 week trip to Iceland. I'll have to fight with my wife to even get one of the both consoles.

It's a given that Naughty Dog and Guerrilla will have offerings at, or soon after launch. We all know those two companies push out awesome games. On the MS side of things i think its likely we will see Halo 14 and Gears of War 19.5 Apocalypse edition.
Seriously though, all this next Gen news is awesome. I'm skeptical, but hopeful of a 2013 PS4 US launch.
GT6...?

If the game has the words "angry birds" in the title, than yes.
While i agree the marketing was crap
Lol what were they going to show?
Clips of CG KZ2?
PS3 came out a year late and at the same time a year earlier than they probably would have liked to. Release date coupled with the price tag and no games was just compounded by the non existent at best "marketing".
Hell by the time the damn thing was released most of my friends had already moved on to the 360. Granted 2 years later some of them bought PS3's but a large number of previous PS2 owners were already gone.
Absolutely not.

where did i mention flops as a measure of power? the point is that we don't know. if anything, rumors so far suggest nextbox might have more cpu cores and more ram amount, ps4 might have a better gpu and faster ram. that's pretty much what we know, because, they're rumors. even the tflops numbers being thrown in the other thread were all over the thread.
again, pointless argument.
WiiU is resigned to ps360 ports, trashware and a handful of awesome Nintendo titles.
I'm not sure they need to, get the machine out in NA and the UK as fast as possible and they can go from there.
Edit: I'm talking about both consoles.

Which is why I already started a savings budget for next gen consoles. I think including trade ins I already have enough for the next Xbox, but will still keep saving just in case.

One way perhaps (guess which way).

Are you saying those 4GB are for VRAM only? If so then you're insane.
Nope. Once this generation is over, the WiiU will be hard pressed not to repeat the PS3/360/Wii era in terms of third party franchise support.

i haven't bought a wii U because of this possibility,so you can talk freely
There could be indy ports, etc.... but AAA titles, no way.
There'll be some rare japanese third party gems scattered throughout its life I think.
But yeah, western AAAs look highly unlikely.

I see you've started early.

I've got a baby due in February, I can dream about the Orbis, but there is no way I am getting both,
Of course, they can shoot themselves in the foot and say no PSN game compatibility, no PS1 or PS2 classics...

6GB total , having 2GB of slower OS plus 4GB GDDR5 for "games" is IMO , the minimum it should have.
XtremeXpider

That's right, we don't know. On paper, GDDR5 looks better, faster memory, but we don't know yet what of two is stronger.
I really think both will be very similar.
Source? most rumors point to 8GB (12GB devkit).

According to Wikipedia:
When is PlayStation Meeting again? Or there no chance that it will be announced before E3?

Your right about how it made me feel. I felt it did a disjustice to the games that I was interested in on their platform. I feel though the major weakness of the PS3 was not having a popular 1st party FPS game. Which was at the time the trending medium of console video games. So people opted for their Halo, after getting the taste of online play that was Halo 2 on the OG Xbox. That and the better price point was a much better investment in fun than what sony was offering.

I'm ready for GT6. Bring it on!
E3 is the latest it will be announced, could be earlier if it's the end of the potential unveiling window.
