Could Sony finally be unveiling the PlayStation 4?

The company is holding an event Feb. 20 to talk about the future of PlayStation. Announced via its Twitter account, a page for the event simply shows the date and time of the event (6 p.m. EST) along with the short teaser version shown above, with no other information about what it has in store

Earlier this month, Sony announced that it will stop selling the PlayStation 2. The PlayStation 3 has been on the market since 2006, which makes the company due for a next-generation console. The PlayStation 4 has been heavily rumored to be launching in 2013.

For me, I'll be particularly interested in this console war between Sony/Xbox. I was a Sony guy with the PS & the PS2. Got an Xbox for a Xmas one year and I've been on that since. I've had issues with my 360, but nothing that I didn't have with my PS2.

This will likely be one of the last consoles I personally buy. By the time the next ones come out, it will likely be my kids responsibility to purchase. I don't plan to jump on the next console as soon as it comes out, but I'm sure I'll be getting one.

I actually we a PS/PS2 guy, went to the original XBox late and therefore got into 360 instead of PS3 initially.

My issues weren't with the box, I actually loved my 360 and never had a RROD or anything like that. I just got tired of dealing with M$ and all their constant BS.

And if the Witcher 3 is only available on next gen, I'll be buying one right away.

The PS2 to the PS3 was mind blowing.

A mind blowing difference beyond the PS3 I can not even imagine.

Yep. I feel like our expectations are so high with a transition to a new Gen that we're going to be disappointed.

We need Tiny to make an appearance and give us some insight

serious question;

so, say XBOX/PS3 etc come out with a bad ass console....wouldn't the developers/EA sports etc, need to step up their game as well?

...if so, how long would that take?
I'm hopeful this would force EA to get their shit together (at least on the Madden side of things).

.....when does the exclusivity agreement between EA and NFLPA expire?...I can't remember

I don't think my expectations are high at all. I really don't know what to expect.

Hell, I am still amazed at the PS3.

yep.

We are sort of at a plateau right now with game consoles. How much better can these new systems be?


Its why the PS3 and 360 are into their 7th and 8th years now.

I dont remember any other previous generation of consoles being dominant quite that long?

Game developers have had full hands on access to both the PS4 and 720 for some time now. They are optimizing the games they're developing to run the best they can with the specs of the new consoles.

My wife aske me out of the blue the other night if we could get one for the downstairs, and bring the PS3 upstairs.

I bet the cost of the new ones will hurt a bit.

not sure if posted...don't care
Not sure how much it reveals (I don't have sound), but did it look like there was 3D glasses?

The PS3 was $600 when it came out and that crippled the system for a long time. I'm guessing the high end option will be $500.

It will be better by a few devs using unreal 4 engine and needing the beefier specs.

Unless ms throws a curveball and sony does not **** up on pricepoint and making games easier to code then they should regain dominance.

Of course we will not know that until software sales come in.

Well, the makers of the Unreal engine already HAVE a next-gen version (Engine 4).

If you're waiting on EA Sports to innovate, however, don't hold your breath.
