I don't think it'll be at the DPS event either. That one is a retail specific event meant to showcase new titles, bundles and price cuts.
So a specific Playstation Meeting like they did with the Vita? Sounds good to me.

For best possible distribution of information to retailers at the upcoming Destination PlayStation event, a PlayStation Meeting prior to it would be a very wise thing for Sony to do. Alternatively at Destination PlayStation they could show the console in private to select members (such as GameStop CEO Paul Raines). Though that could cause confusion among those not invited. As I pointed out here though, they could easily make a good show with PS3/Vita titles alone.So a specific Playstation Meeting like they did with the Vita? Sounds good to me.
I watched the whole keynote several months ago (it's somewhere on GameSpot) and I don't remember there being any mention of the 360 hardware. They did talk about the new user interface, and they showed off some XNA tech demos, but I think that was it. Hardware details from that article were known months in advance.
So I guess they still mentioned the console, it's just that they didn't really provide many new details about it.

Aren't the majority of all "at or around gdc" rumors false though? Historically?

Play games? I'm sure you have a backlog ,
The DPS event is a closed event - definitely not a place for the world to see.
Sony will unveil the PS4 and games to retailers at DP to get them ready for the launch while the world premiere won't be until later before E3.
That's a press release, not an article. It was the first official confirmation from MS of 360's existence, AFAIK, and even that set a record for shortest period of time between such confirmation and launch. (At least, in the last couple generations - I don't know exactly when Saturn or the Sony-only incarnation of PlayStation were officially announced.)
Microsoft favors shorter unveils these days, while Sony likes longer ones.
I wouldn't be surprised if they were targeting E3/a May event, got word of Sony going earlier, and started moving up their reveal.
Most rumors say they're both launching in 2013.
Yeah, I only mean in regard to Microsoft's Xbox division, where E3 either announces or gives the first real look (so like, not just a CG trailer that might appear prior) on a game that's coming not too much later.Hm, I don't know, going by their WP8 and Surface unveils, that was some long wind up...
But I guess that's very different to the xbox division.
At this rate Trico may as well be a ps4 launch title...
On another note I'm reading for the new xbox as long as it's backwards compatible with 360 and xbla games. Well now I can't wait for GDC to see what happens.
I wouldn't mind this if it meant better AI quality.
Everything I've seen, sans the VG Leaks roadmap, said PS4 was behind schedule and won't make it until next year. I would love to be wrong, but Sony hasn't instilled confidence in my in a long time.
I wouldn't mind this if it meant better image quality.
Given that what's holding up development is apparently "technical problems", it also might mean the game would actually come out at all.
So to narrow down at least when Sony will reveal. Either before DPS or after DPS but before GDC?
Would that be fair?
Based on the trailers already out, I can only guess they ran into RAM bottlenecks for what they're trying to achieve.
In an interview with Chilean news outlet El Mercurio Online, Sakamoto was asked about the new system, and whether we’d be hearing an announcement in the coming months.
“It’s still a big secret, but our Sony PlayStation friends are getting ready. I only can say that we’re focused on the games related E3 event, booked for June. The announcement can take place there or even before, in May.”
I have to think to myself wonder if this is happening now because Nintendo is in a weak position.
Leaving a reveal to E3 would be madness - particularly if the new consoles are set to be as feature-packed as the leaked microsoft powerpoint seems to indicate. They'd need a five hour press conference to communicate all of the hardware features and functionality, not to mention the software lineup.
Microsoft's 2005 strategy, with a hardware-focused conference in the spring followed by a software unveiling at E3, is the most sensible option.
I have to think to myself wonder if this is happening now because Nintendo is in a weak position.
Yeah, GDC is at the end of March, and Destination PlayStation is at the end of February.
If the system will be at DPS, it will presumably be revealed in early-mid February.
Prior to GDC would be early-mid March.

I imagine the biggest push is that developers want to announce games.
If you look at the release calendar, you will notice almost no revealed games for Fall 2013 or later, yet this is normally when marketing for Fall 2013/Q1 2014 titles starts.
Barnie is a terrible speller.
I asked this myself. Even if the new consoles come out Q4 2013 - what titles will be released between May and then? Usually the most games release October/November. So my guess is, that PS4/720 will come out around this time. March reveal would induce that Devs can start marketing for their games.
I have to think to myself wonder if this is happening now because Nintendo is in a weak position.
No, it was always going to happen Nintendo or not.
Aha?
In my defense I'm drunk.
"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."
no they were never going to wait until e3 too announce their console. It makes no sense for a lot of reasons. There's too much info to get out there and E3 isn't the place to throw everything at the wall.I don't mean the actual launch. That was guaranteed. I mean the early hype and possible early reveals. I expected everything to be hush hush til e3. It's like leaky faucets now heh
What's this from?holy fuck, why did i think next-gen consoles weren't being released until mid-to-late 2014? this is awesome
They're announcing them tomorrow I hear hypeeeeeeee
and german? Only germans (like me) would spell Barney "Barnie"
What's this from?
your article in the op
One thing is for sure, next CoD will be 360/PS3/720/PS4/WiiU.I imagine the biggest push is that developers want to announce games.

You can also include Battlefield 4 most likely.

A Battlefield game at launch would be amazing, although it may just be a port like most launch titles are. Just look at Call of Duty 2 on the 360 then compare that to MW1.
