Sony said we'd 'see the future' of PlayStation on February 20th, and it appears to be true: The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the company will not only reveal the next PlayStation at the event, but actually put the new video game console on sale later this year. According to the publication's anonymous sources, both the next PlayStation and Microsoft's next game system will compete head to head going into the holiday season.

Though Sony CEO Kaz Hirai and others had originally telegraphed that the next PlayStation might not be ready as soon as the next Xbox, it appears to have been a feint. We may see what the so-called PlayStation Orbis has to offer in as few as three weeks.

Just realized the thread title is poor, sorry. Meant to say Xbox later this year too. Hardly surprising but... *industry sources*

WSJ says the next PlayStation will 'integrate social gaming features'

In a nod to the changes afoot in the industry, Sony is planning to incorporate more social gaming aspects into the new machine, people familiar with the matter said. Also, while hardware improvements were a key focus of past console upgrades, Sony is more focused this time on the changes in how users interact with the machine, these people said.

HOLY SHIT!!!.

EDIT:

Sandfox · Feb 1, 2013

If both consoles launch this year its going to come down to who has the best E3, shows off the best exclusives, and launches with the better price.

demosthenes · Feb 1, 2013

My wallet is ready.

Show me the way Sony.

Zombie James · Feb 1, 2013

It's a personal rule of mine to never buy consoles at launch, but can't help but get hyped for new hardware. This generation's long overdue for an upgrade.

DMeisterJ · Feb 1, 2013

I wonder if Sony will do a JP launch this year, then NA/EU early '14 or if they'll attempt the WW launch.

Takuya · Feb 1, 2013

Willing to spend up to $599.

Orbis only

If it has BC and a revamped next gen PS+. Definitely getting it, but probably not Day 1. After the first price drop and slim revision

GrayFoxPL · Feb 1, 2013

But the Wii U came out last year.

Lucentto · Feb 1, 2013

It's time. Show me you won't make the same mistake as you did with the Vita Sony.

TwIsTeD · Feb 1, 2013

the only surprising thing about next gen this year is an announcement in 20 days....we all knew this was coming hahaha...its about damn time

Bgamer90 · Feb 1, 2013

Dude...

I'm going to spend more money on video games this year than any other year that I've been alive.

My body is ready.

plainr_ · Feb 1, 2013

Perfect. I don't think my body can wait another year.

Riddy · Feb 1, 2013

Seriously just stop posting this

indigo-cyclops · Feb 1, 2013

Damn what am I going to do with my moneyz.

professor_t · Feb 1, 2013

Didn't the Gamecube and the original Xbox launch on virtually the same day? It's the only comparison I can think of, but this is even bigger.

I'll be buying both, but based on what we know so far I'm more excited about the PS4 (the the 360 has been my console of choice).

Hoping for few(er) because last round of launches had a decent number of issues (RRoD / YLoD)

It is because i didn't really think it would have been this season at all to be honest.

The Wii and PS3 launched back to back as well.

Thank you tax return. You are my greatest ally.

Represent. · Feb 1, 2013

SlickShoesRUCrazy · Feb 1, 2013

So much for letting Microsoft go first.

GraveRobberX · Feb 1, 2013

Next-Gen is taking too long

Time to start burning some of this off already!

The Wii and PS3 launched two days apart in the US.

rockx4 · Feb 1, 2013

I'm guessing $399 for a base model and up to $499 for the high end. I think $399 is my max unless there are some really really really amazing games at launch. I wonder how far apart both consoles will release.

I think he meant as few as possible, would be nice if there are no problem at all though.

It is going to be really nasty here in GAF during the hols.

Agent Ironside · Feb 1, 2013

Sony gets my money first this time around. I'm going to wait for MS to prove to me they still care about games.... like games games.

DeuceGamer · Feb 1, 2013

Depending on price I'll be there day one. I don't expect it will be overly priced though actually.
