Premature?! lol . This is absolutely a clever move !
fozzness  +   518d ago
it's really interesting... I guess Sony's just a bit like.. yea, you had it last time, but this time we're serious ;)

Sony should give us a PS4 teaser at the end of the conference.Then have Kaz or jack come out and say "We will have more at E3".Including price,Tech Demos and release date.Not to mention everyone at the E3 Playstation floor will get one for free when it's released.
Eskimo Keith  +   518d ago
Don't get me wrong, I would like nothing more than two great systems this year and this was simply a speculation I cobbled together to get a conversation going. Calling it 'premature' may have been a mistake but then again without knowing how it will pan out, who can say it might not be?

I would remind you all that this is what I said, that Sony have the spotlight right now and if they hold their games until E3 they will probably be successful, if they reveal too much now, it'll be old news by E3 and Microsoft will be the focus as long as they keep quiet until then.

Speculation, that is all it is.
StrongMan  +   518d ago
It will force MS to show Kinect 2.0 early. I'm sure that's where their main focus is.
Eskimo Keith  +   518d ago
I sincerely hope not, I'm up for innovation but sometimes things have to die.
MasterCornholio  +   518d ago
Oh god if rumors of a kinect built into the console are true then Microsoft will focus Kinectbox720 on the casuals.

I dont think it will happen because i dont believe that Microsoft is that stupid.
MultiConsoleGamer  +   518d ago
It seems a bit odd to show your hand so early. And I think Sony is worried about something, which is why they're rushing this announcement out of the gate.

However, I don't think it's Microsoft that has them worried. It's two other potential rivals. And neither of them are Nintendo.

Do your own homework and figure it out.

You have two possible scenarios here:

1. Sony is bullish. They know they have a strong hand and they want to get a head start on the E3 hype train.


2. They're worried someone has a product that will overshadow their own product. (Circa E3 2006) So they want to get out of the gate first to get as much of the spotlight as they can.

Assuming the release is this fall, it's not really early. Most consoles go through two E3s before releasing.

Compared to everything but the 360, the PS4 is getting revealed seven or eight months late.

Sony is worried about xbox brand momentun. Sony is probably also aware of the specs MSFT needs for their own the livingroom agenda with the 720. MSFT is ready to take a massive financial hit with the 720 first few windows. It's not hard to see when MSFT is selling 5 to 6 million consoles in NA durring the holiday alone, with weak limited temporary price drops.

If I were Sony I would be hyping just enough to get their fanboys flooding the web with pro Sony fud as well knowing MSFT is trying to turn the xbox 720 into a home theater pc hybrid with a massive successful marketshare penatration and unlimited funds.

MSFT's products are mostly software with no real hardware/platform of their own(mobile is not enough). You best bet MSFT is going to come out with something they can finally launch taking advantage of the success of the Xbox brand. This is why Sony is trying to steal the spotlight/distract/hype/ start smearing armies

There is also a possibility Sony isn't going to make 2013 and are pulling that same steal the spotlight move they did this generation. Sony wasn't ready for MSFT with the 360 so they kept hyping PS3 and was purposely misleading the world claiming launch windows and always pushing the launch back just to hype PS3 to overshadow 360 excitemen. I remember PS3 having 3 launch dates after the 360 launched that ended up being a year later. My fav was the spring PS3 launch that never happend

Man..the green kool aid has gotten even stronger.
JimmyDanger  +   517d ago
They did the same when the Dreamcast launched.

"online internet connection? The ps2 will have it's own internet!"

and "ps2 graphics will be Toy Story quality!"

All this talk of bluff - its been Sony's default mode for over 10 years now.

"All ps3 games will achieve 1080p 60 frames per second!".


"While there's no umd drive, we'll provide an easy way for PsP umd owners to convert their games over to Vita"

I love Sony, and buy a ton of their stuff, but really, these outlandish bluffs don't work in their favour. All good poker players know, it gets easier and easier to call out a bluffer the more they bluff. And all it takes is a big bluff when your opponent is holding "the nuts" and , bam, there goes your whole stack.
KwietStorm  +   518d ago
PS3 is over 6 years old, and PS4 hasn't even yet been announced by Sony. What about this makes it so early or premature? Just because its not E3? I'm surprised an article like this took this long. There's always some opportunistic wannabe journalist waiting to make some half point, just to try to either be different than the crowd, or to sound like they've figured it all out.
celticlonewolf  +   518d ago
Going first has its pros and cons. going first in reaveling what u have gets the hype train rolling that much sooner and shows confidance. on the other hand going second gives u the advantage of seeing how there reveal went and tailer yours to counter there points and not make any mistakes that your compation might have made
_LarZen_  +   518d ago
Announcing it now gives Sony more time to show games at E3. So no it is not premature but a really smart move from Sony.
MattyG  +   518d ago
I think that it is best for them to show it early, that way word gets out about it before E3, and then they can focus less on hardware and more on showing off what it's capable of.
BuffMordecai  +   518d ago
PS4 all the way for me next gen, after all the crap Microsoft has pulled, there is no way I'm getting the next iteration of the shitbox.
GraveLord  +   518d ago
Premature? This is long overdue.
I'm done with this generation.

Just give me God of War Ascention and The Last of Us and I'll happily move on.
Jek_Porkins  +   518d ago
If anyone thinks Microsoft is waiting for E3 to unveil the next Xbox you might want to look back at the history of Microsoft. Sure we wont see a ton on it and at E3 we'll see a lot of the games and things like that, but Microsoft always holds its own show to kick off their next console.

Sony's showing first wouldn't make them feel rushed and it would have been the same had Microsoft held an event first. E3 sadly only allows so much time, and Microsoft and Sony still have other platforms to show off, Sony with Vita and PS3 and Microsoft with the Xbox 360. You cant just focus 100% on one thing or another, so I fully expect the actual unveiling of the next Xbox at its own event.
Jamaicangmr  +   518d ago
Whats premature about it? This guy just sounds like a undercover troll.
Eskimo Keith  +   518d ago
Premature probably isn't the right word to use as I wanted to emphasise on the secrecy surrounding it and how Sony are cutting their 10 year plan short to unveil a possible new console.

But I do like it when people throw the term 'troll' around, it's brilliant for when you can't think of an intelligent response.
Jamaicangmr  +   518d ago
Nice try.
Just didn't think your article was worth a better summery. No hard feelings though right "Jounalist"?

Belking  +   518d ago
No it won't. But at the same revealing ps4 won't give any advantages either. It won't change anything because everyone knows ps4 and xbox720 is coming anyway. Sony really needs to focus more on the vita.
koehler83  +   518d ago
No one announces hardware at E3. Anyone familiar with the situations knows that.
Ck1x  +   518d ago
Only time will tell! However Microsoft responds to this announcement will give clues to their concern levels. But once the cat is out of the bag there's no turning back then...
chasegarcia  +   518d ago
Well if they give us a price & date we can preorder it and they take in money early plus gamers get to tell Sony if they don't like something(boomerang?).

Microsoft is supposed to be revealing at GDC in March. Neither company is going to wait to reveal at E3. They want to reveal beforehand, create a buzz, and they show off the games and get into the details at E3. If one revealed before E3, and the other waited until E3 they run the risk of looking underwhelming if they don't completely blow everyone away on the biggest stage. Announcing before creates a few months of buzz based on some facts and less speculation. Then they get more months of buzz post E3 when more facts are laid out. The longer they wait the more time all the false rumors can build a negative impact.

Sony HAS, not Sony have...
cervantes99  +   518d ago
Unless Microsoft announces some new IPs - they have already lost in my eyes.

I don't care what their hardware does or doesn't do - if we have the same 3 IPs again then I'm not interested. 3rd party titles should be on par to identical so it all comes down to exclusives and Sony's pot is overflowing in that department.

Apps? Where we're going we don't need apps. I have the same apps on every piece of hardware in my entertainment center.
cyhm3112  +   518d ago
Microsoft can reveal at any date they like, but i already smell failure of Xbox 720
KingKevo  +   518d ago
WARNING: A website is trying to fish for clicks, lol. Already reading the word 'premature' did turn me off and I'm not even gonna read this article. But I know what it does on here, batteling fanboys, good comments that are being rated down or ignored and all the usual stuff. Let the games coninue...

Unless MS has free online or more power, its going to have a bad time next-gen
Foxhound922  +   518d ago
It's hard to say whether being the first out of,the gate is good or bad. It certainly worked for ms this generation. I just think ms is going in a different direction this time around and they made it apparent. The casual crowd makes up the largest section in the gaming industry, and they know all too well on how to cash in on them and brainwash people repeatedly with ads. I hope they come out with some new ips and core games, because as we have seen with the wii, shovelware and gimmicks will only get you so far until people put them in their closets. Sony lost market share, but still came out on top this gen even with a plague of bad press, bad launch titles, late release, hefty price tag, and arrogance. They battled through it all, but I think they learned their lesson, and it seems like this time around, they are being aggressive, and playing for keeps. It's going to be a good year for the big 3 in 2013.
