I still think come this E3, there are going to be a lot of people in straight up shock and throwing a huge fit. I still stand very strongly by the prediction I made in my post in the recent E3 predictions thread:

I really feel if you're in Sony's current spot and things are so bad you're having to sell off one of your buildings, a PS4 is the LAST thing they should be worried about. I honestly feel they cannot afford even the slightest chance of another Vita scale...I won't say failure but massive disappointment. I think a PS4 right now would be very foolish and probably sink them even faster than they're already sinking.
Here's the deal: Come either a May announcement or at the Sony Press Conference day for E3, IF I end up being colosally wrong and they DO announce and unveil a PS4, I will gladly admit I was wrong, and peacefully ask a Mod to close out my Gaf account. No argument, no alternate account shenanigans..just an honest straight up exit from Gaf. That's how strongly I'm standing by the predictions I made in the other thread. MS will do a set top box a la Apple TV with a heavy focus on multimedia initiatives, and I think Sony's plans probably changed significantly since the start of whatever they were planning in early 2011..to put it somewhat sensibly I guess. I feel I will be vindicated on one prediction or both. I have a few guesses what their announcement could be and I'll leave it at that. I am disappointed that it seems like I haven't fit in here as well as I'd hoped I might, so to give that deal to the community is fair. I DO have lots of knowledge about the industry, it would just be nice if I and others too could express our opinions without getting our butts ripped apart. Anyway, that's the deal. I honor my promises and if I'm wrong on this one I'll honor my word and exit Gaf.
