But we don't know that yet. I have heard Sony might go the route of charging for a dongle that enables backwards compatiblity or through the use of Gaikai.

If they can do $400 maybe $450 with move + a real pack in game (not shovelware). Then they might have a Winner or at least something to grab some sales. Plus no DRM on games.

I believe if Sony or Microsoft does always on DRM or DRM tied to an account to defeat used game sales, the consoles will fail. People want to borrow games or trade them in.

But that's in yen. The US dollar is so weak right now. I'm thinking they'll go for $350 just like WiiU. They matched 3DS launch price with Vita price, so I don't think they'll go higher. Plus there is more competition to worry about (Microsoft) with a console.

This goes for Microsoft too, but if they go higher price, if they stop used games, if they don't include backwards compatibility, if they don't allow all those digital game purchases to carry over, most of us will be going with the other console. Or stick to PC.

Personally, I don't see myself buying any new console in the next 2 years. I'll see how stuff pans out. I'm in sequel fatigue right now, so I don't care about any "new" sequel game coming out on a next gen system. Plenty of titles coming out this year on current gen. With a backlog of quality titles from last year.

I'll give Sony/Microsoft a little hint: The company that allows your gamerscore to transfer to the new console will get tons of early adopters.

Windows games, and the vita have pretty much declared this a standard feature. Dont think anyone expects profiles to not be linear across systems.

Pretty much. I'll be surprised if either system doesn't do that.

Also disappointed because I've come to love that system. Not necessarily for the points/trophies themselves, but more so because it keeps track of games I've played and lets me see what my friends have played.

It will be a long while before I pick up a PS4 have to clear out the backlog

im gonna be with the other people sleeping outside to be the first to buy one

im not sold at this being ps4. Yes it's strange they would call this big event for say ps vita redesign news and what not. Why would sony come out with a white and red ps3 if they plan on bringing out next ps this fall. I could very well see a ps vita redesign and at end say we will show off home system at e3 due out in 2014.

A announcement of a redesign ps vita is not a good idea if they dont have any games to back it up with. With the luckluster ps vita games in the market right now, having a new version is the least of sony's worries. I do think this is going to be ps4 and possible previews of release line up

it's possible but sony has let us down before. IF it is for ps4 we might see a system or photos and names of possible launce titles nothing more then that. heck the first ps3 we seen was not the finale system. It could be vita it could be ps home. ps home new update overhaul is due out anyday. I hope it's ps4 but im not sold that it will be.

i do not plan on buying ps4 right away anyways. My pc is more powerfull then any next gen system so don't really need it. If i do get a next gen system it's going to be next xbox seeing sony supports past sytems for long time which means games will still be coming out for ps3. When it comes to microsoft that is not the case. I buy sony and nintendo systems for exclusives and think next gen will be the same.

What I could imagine happening is kinda a trifecta. First off PS Vita Redesign, but that can't be the main feature of this conference. I can't believe Sony would call in both investors and press for just a PS Vita redesign. Second PS3 price drop.

Reason they released the new PS Systems, is to have the market like the end of the PS2 beginning of PS3. Push as many systems out the door of the PS3 while they still can. Most people are not ready for PS4 so make the PS3 attractive.

Then drop the PS4 announcement.

Man a ps3 price drop would be awesome announcement as well. superslim is not doing well with its current price. Price it at 199 and ill be all over it again.

if they would drop the white to 199 and still include the one year of ps plus dude i would be waiting at gamestop to trade my 120 slim for 75 extra bucks to get that white one. lol

just thinking about that it very well could happen. they show off new ps vita design. ps3 drops to 199 price and at the end when people are down say oh yeah we will be showing ps4 at e3 2013. Thanks for coming. Sooner or later the ps3 has to drop price to like 250 or 199 which would be a sweet spot for most people that don't own one yet. It just puzzles me why push a new system when you just spent tons of money bringing white ps3 to the u.s and giving a year of ps plus with it and then in april the red god of war one is out.

I think this conference is mostly to set expectations for this year and give us an update on their plans going forward. It will most likely end with a tease of what the PS4 looks like or something of significance to let us know it's coming. E3 will be the main stage to show off specs, games, etc. All I know is Sony has a lot of hype going right now, so they need to nail whatever is in store for the 20th.

Why would Sony announce a PS3 price drop? They just announced the red god of war PS3 bundle for $349.99 which has not even come out yet.

The Vita will most likely have something to do with the meeting. It came out last year in NA on 2/15(1st edition bundle) and 2/22(official launch) so 1 year anniversary.
