$400 is my threshold for consoles. I'll never pay more.

Hopefully, it's more than just a Vita/PS3 price drop announcement. With all of the horrible rumors swirling about the new Xbox (required kinect/internet, no used games), Sony has a chance to win this generation's console war before it even starts.

Considering there is also an equally horrible rumor surrounding Sony (no used games), Sony has just as much of a chance to things up.

Sony's strategy. Amazing PS3 exclusive titles + cheap but good content on PS+ this year. Next year release PS4 with Uncharted Collection and the The Last of Us GOTY, rinse and repeat with every franchise they have, possible Vita accessories to make out to to the TV like the PSP Go.

Honestly, I am satisfied with the PS3 and my VITA/Move need more games/support. Only thing MS has to offer are family/kinect titles and like 3 exclusive shooter titles. Except for more RAM to get better graphics, don't see how they can do more with the next gen besides better security.

Sony is already ahead with its exclusive content. Sony is making PS+ so cheap with good content that they make it worth it not to hack the PS3 and stay on their network, they need to keep the ball rolling and make it easier for 3rd party support with a stable/unhackable hardware/network environment. I believe that why the PS and go failed, it was just easily hackable and nobody wanted to support it due to piracy.

I think next gen is going to be less about the games and more about the "apps" they will have. Now that Sony is going to be similar to the Microsoft in terms of hardware, there won't be a big discrepancy between games (especially ones that Sony refuses to advertise). The biggest hurdle Sony has is the American audience with Microsoft and that they potentially will want to stay with the Xbox for gamertag/achievements/friends, and trying to convince them that the next hardware they should own is a PS4.

I'm really hoping that the Gaikai acquisition factors into an additional bonus for PS+ on the PS4. If they can make that Instant Game Library turn into an occasional game into a streaming game service, that would be absolutely awesome. But I don't know how difficult that would be for them to pull off since I know nothing about how that stuff works, but that's my hope.

another reason why i think it will not be a giant ps4 thing is that would you not want it to be showing all over? Last i heard it's only being shown on playstation website. I know the god of war system is coming out for 350 but that don't mean the old slim will not get a price drop. The super slim ps3 is the new ps3 look. This thing will be about ps vita info maybe a new look, ps3 price drop or a ps home relaunch which has been in the works. At the end we will get that tune into e3 we will be showing off the next home system from us.

you think hackers really care about ps+ that they would not hack the network lol. To be honest the games coming out for ps+ in recent months have been desapointing. I would love to see more big titles like they did with lbp2 and infomus 2. those games have been on ps+ for awhile and they are still making them the flag ship games of it.

I actually did not hack my PS3 so I could play the games I want on it legally and not download tons of blu-rays into more hardrives I have to buy for them. Being a CAG'er games are easier to get on sale then finding it and d'l or ripping it myself.

My 360 just sits there gather dust, I don't even hack it because there is nothing I want to play on it. My PSP Go and Wii are hacked because of the large and free library of games I have/can get for them.

If Sony wants the PS4 to succeed, they need 3rd party support w/ creative content, they get that content with a stable business gaming environment were the developers can get money for their product, early release is another strategy I suppose. That is where all three have failed in the past few years. PS3 is still selling in 3rd world countries and coming out with good games exclusives that I'd rather support. MS is pushing kinect like its the best thing since sliced bread and we all know is sucks.

I think $399.99 is my max as well. I expect that to include the new Eyetoy 2.0 as well. Couldn't care less about the MOVE though, I just want proper hand/voice tracking without the need of an accessory.

Only seven days away. I honestly think they'll announce a price drop for the Vita. It'll be great to have another PS console, but honestly I'm content with my two PS3's. If they announce a new PS, I could see it going for $399.

the problem is 3rd party companys don't want to make games for just ONE system. The only real exclusive games we see these days are first party games. 3rd party games will mostly never be system exlusives they lose too much money that way.

a ps vita price drop would make sense seeing it's been out a year. The promo does not even hint at a new ps announment. I still think it's a ps vita redesign or price drop and a ps3 price drop and maybe at end so a teaser clip of new playstation to be showed at e3.

Actually to be fair, on the PC side, there are many exclusives. Total War, Blizzard Games, Torchlight 2, etc. It's not just about being exclusive, it's about can you be profitable being exclusive.

I'm content with the PS3 as well as there are tons of games out for it that I haven't played yet and a even more games coming out in the upcoming months that I want to play.

Ueda: "I should also mention that details regarding The Last Guardian's release is solely decided by Sony Computer Entertainment, not myself. Please keep an eye out for their official announcement."

IGN: "Now, we're not sure about you, but it's that middle bit that strikes us as interesting. If responsibility for the announcement lies with Sony, it seems reasonable that this could be because the company has yet to officially announce the platform that the game is now being developed for. With a big announcement of some sort planned for February 20...."

Why would Ueda say something NOW? The timing is too perfect in regards to Feb 20th...

I could totally see The Last Guardian becoming a launch game for the PS4. This wouldn't be the first time a console maker did something like this.

I don't care what system the game is released on. All I know is that I want it Here's hoping for Feb 20th

It would make sense, despite what some people think. The last we heard about this game was...a little over a year ago and that was because of Ueda's departure. I wouldn't be shocked if it comes out on PS3 (since that's what it has mainly been developed for) but also have used the time to make it at least look better for the PS4.

It would also be a great way to get people to not hesitate and instead buy the PS4 at launch
