   I'm just starting to find out that the bowl of rumors is getting empty very fast.
   In the case of PS Vita There were many rumors in VG247,most of them turning out to be true; but there is no such thing for PS4 and X720(or whatever). Have developers tightened security and secrecy?
   I think many would have liked a bit of info.

   Can't be bothered with rumours.

   I'd rather just wait for E3...

   I could be wrong, but I think those systems are still a long ways away.

   No sooner then next holiday, possibly even the one after that, and with this being the current holiday season, no one is going to want to undermind this seasons sales by talking about their systems for next year(s).

   Correct.
   The reason I said it up there was that I was hoping Sony to take an approach similar to what they did with Vita,Announcing hardware and showing tech demos in January 2013 and then a more full blown reveal at E3, but with many high profile games launching around that time for PS3 and with rumors and solid details so scarce, I doubt that happens.

   yep, same here. earliest: winter 2013....maybe even sometime 2014. there will definiteley be more infos next summer at e3 though. so the next gen hype train with all the rumors and speculations will proably really pick up steam then i think...

   Indeed. This gen still has a lot to offer, with plenty of strong releases through to summer 2013. Sony & MS are obviously not rushing into the next gen & must feel things out very carefully before they proceed. I'd be surprised if they came out by Dec 2013. I think announcements at E3, along with some clips of games in development, then launches within 12-18 months.

   So,can I have faith in E3 2013 for some announcements?
   I also wonder if Sony and Microsoft use second screen like Wii U.

   I think both will announce something by E3 next year. Likely release dates both are aiming for are Christmas 2013, but there are strong rumours at least one of the two will be pushed out to Spring 2014. Which isn't clear, chip manufacturing problems say maybe MS, and a very strong 2013 PS3 games line up says maybe Sony.

   I will be very disappointed if we don't see some sort of controller change from both. Though the bigger change next gen will be in services and OS integration.

   Finally I reckon we'll see another new serious contender by 2014. Either Apple, Google or SteamBox.

    If ya look at the release schedule, the first half of 2013 is fucking stacked! I reckon late 2013 is a lock using my voodoo mathematics!

    I think that it will be MS that goes for a later release.In the mean while I think they both use combinations,keeping traditional controllers for hardcore games alongside 2nd screen for movies and stuff and some games.While a form of motion control is reserved mostly for fitness games and other things.
    Another major contender in the market can be awesome.But I doubt that Apple jumps in.
