If ps4 is revealed, they would have done it before ms who will most probably do their reveal at E3. It could also mean rumors of ps4 coming after 720 could be false too.
Have gaming sites like vg247 got invites? I think ign is sitting on some sony related news, they said so in their podcast.
PS4 reveal next month?

Not easy to predict. One thing is that as far as I know this event is for retailer and the like only so when there are no public or Journalists, Sony may reveal the console to those people. But to say that Sony goes all out revealing the thing to public, It will be a different thing entirely.
When we come down to rumors of PS4 releasing after Xbox I don't find it likely. There was a rumor from VG247 itself that Sony wants to go first this time around.Posted 5 months ago # -
Maybe its to talk business to retailers about their "anti-used game" patent and explain their PS4 plans. I mean stocks dropped because of a rumor. Maybe..

I think that Sony reveals it before E3,because at E3 they have to fight with both Microsoft and
Ninty but if Microsoft wants to reveal their console in,like middle of May,then what ? So if Sony wants to hold a head start, they have to reveal it before then.
In short my theory is that if Microsoft is planning to reveal it before E3 and Sony wants to be a step ahead,then they need to reveal it around then.Posted 5 months ago # -

Sony stocks didn't take a dive because of the patent. Gamestop's did and rightly so.

@Phoenix I know that's what I meant. Maybe I misunderstood, I thought the press conference in question was for Sony to meet with retailers. Thought maybe they just wanted to inform, so retailers could speak knowledgably to their investors so people don't jump ship over rumors.

@SlayerGT
You could be right. Gamestop is one of leading retailers for game related things and you think Gamestop would want to shift PS4 if it did something like what investors fear?
I don't think SOny will be announcing their system before MS will. Lets assume they did MS will just push their announcements sooner possibly the release and then we will get Xbox 360 with the RROD all over again.

Well Phoenix that's probably the case. MS is probably just running with 360 as long as possible. If you remember (cause I'm fuzzy) didn't it get out that MS had 720 ready to be shown at E3 last year if it seemed Sony were to reveal PS4? Its a game of chicken. Its like, neither want to move on to next Gen financially..but neither want to release behind the other. All I can say is this year will either be filled with excitement or disappointment. There won't be any middle-ground folks. The hype is building.

I don't recall that rumor. I was just going off of what MS did with the 360 because they got wind of when sony was aiming to release the Ps3 so they pushed their system out even though it obviously wasn't ready.
I think Sony would do better releasing later so they have a smooth launch with a line up of releases ready. Sure they won't get the bulk of sales if they were out first but you would get more people buying it because of the line up. I have been far happier with my PS3 purchase than my 360 purchase and I waited for both systems. We'll see. I am not looking forward to a new gen war.

I don't know about next gen war, but I can't wait to see Sony's new hardware. Like you I love my ps3. And my ps1 and 2 before it. They are the only machines that haven't disappointed me in some shape or form. I credit Sony for their quality and ambition when it comes to trying things and taking risk. I support them for those reasons mostly.

Stranger things have happened, so I wouldn't be surprised if they announced the PS4 before E3, but I would think they'd want the publicity an E3 announcement gives. Announcing the PS4 beforehand gets the gaming press excited, but announcing at E3 alongside a Next Box announcement not only gets the mainstream press, BUT it leaves Nintendo in the dust, because it makes it appear that the next generation battle has finally started, while Nintendo will be stuck with current-gen looking games to announce at the same time.

I hope that the PS4 is backwards compatible. If it is, I'll almost surely make the move. If not, I'll bitch and moan about it like I do with the Wii U. If that fucker had full BC, I'd already have one FFS. :/

@TG,
I doubt that mate. Unless its a 450-500$ sku.Posted 5 months ago # -
Noooooooooooo....

@Dragon246 and @TG think of the new console as a change of hardware, but the system that the PS3 held would continue the same or mostly identical. By that they would add the 'backwards reading' as a chance to make the nostalgic players welcome to new systems, without altering the image of the current, future and past consoles. In resume, I'd think of this like buying a new computer, same system, new hardware. At least that would be the strategy Sony would and must take in order to add a bonus to their project, since it seems powerful.
