We've had hints thrown around for the better part of a year, we all know they're coming fall 2013, when will MS/Sony will make it official?

Before E3?
At E3?
CES
2013?
VGAs?
Just some random ass day outta the blue?

just curious to what you guys think
 
I can see something being hinted at the VGAs and CES. E3 will be the full blowout, with the release next Fall.

January 2013 once Wii U hype had died down a little.

MS sure, right after Halo 4 is released I expect an announcement.

SOny though, I dont see them announcing anything until after TLOU/Beyond/GOW are out. Dont wanna kill hype for those.
 
anon dev will leak detailed info on both 2-3 months before e3 2013 reveal by the TWO bigs.



edit: keighly will do what ever it takes to show a 6 second video of NEXTGEN during VGAs.

This.

There's a chance, just a chance, Sony might take a flyer and pre-tease PS4 at the VGA's imo though. Simply because of that "get a glimpse at the future of Playstation" tease (which could apply to a lot of things of course).

Edit: Just checked and the VGA's are late this year, Dec 7. So that lends even more credence to my belief.

Nintendo has countless devs saying their Wii U games are only "on par" with what we've seen on PS360. And I havent seen a single game blow me away graphically as of yet.

To be fair though, i'm positive when Ninty shows off 3D mario / Metroid / Zelda, they will look mindblowingly amazing. As of right now though, the controller features havent done anything to win me over.

Next gen is... the next generation. It has nothing to do with how powerful the console is. Otherwise wouldn't you not consider 3DS and Vita in the same gen?

Given how bad Sony faked the first PS3 vids, I dont even know what they would do for PS4 LOL. Just show a clip of Dark Knight Rises and call it a PS4 game or something?
 
Another next gen console thread? Why isn't there a "Next Gen general discussion" thread for stuff like this?

Anyway probably E3 2013 at the earliest, possibly at another event after E3 in 2013 at the latest.
 
It will certainly happen before E3, at least for MS. They will announce before E3.. but unveil fully at E3. Then ride a few months of hype into the fall launch.

Sony? Total wildcard, and I have no clue.

Not sure when Nintendo is going to announce the successor to the Wii U

Yep, no way I see MS running on a couple of month announcement to launch schedule. They did it with the 360, but the launch of 720 will be much bigger than that.
 
Wii U is already announced...

But if you mean MS & Sony, it depends on how successful Wii U is out of the gate. If it's not successful initially, they will probably wait for the middle of 2013. If Wii U is just hitting it out of the park due to console fatigue and it being the new hotness, expect MS and Sony to announce new consoles ASAP to try to kill the Wii U hype, but either way, it will launch at the end of 2013. Any later would risk Nintendo having two Christmases on the market by themselves.
 
I'm thinking sometime in mid-March or so, just prior to GDC 2013. That way they'll be able to show tech demos and whatnot.
 
I wonder how many console generations we've had with this "It's a new generation if the graphics blow my mind" mentality.
 
PS4 and 720 will be shown before E3. Maybe at the VGA's, maybe at their own event ala Microsoft in 2005. E3 ain't what it used to be, unfortunately.
 
The earliest Sony will show the PS4 is if they hold another PlayStation Meeting early next year like they did for the Vita. The latest would be GamesCom 2013, which means they likely will launch the PS4 at or near Spring of 2014.
 
Wii-U: Released October/November 2012
Xbox 720: Released September 2013 /Announced before E3 2013
PS4: Released November 2013 /Announced at E3 2013
