Nintendo will have the big Wii U reveal and Sony will announce their retirement from the gaming industry.
This'll be the E3 where they finally throw in the towel.

When asked by a reporter about a new console, Kaz Hirai said this:

Kaz Hirai wrote:

“Andy (House) is absolutely right in that we are not making any announcements at E3,” Hirai said. “I’ve always said a 10-year life cycle for PS3, and there is no reason to go away from that.”

I guess this should dispell quite a few of those new console rumors, now won't it?

Wait wait wait... So Sony was actually SERIOUS about adhering to a 10-year lifecycle?

The PS2 has been going strong for over 11 years, yet Sony still launched the PS3 in 2006. Why can't they do the same with a PS4?

Oh God this is going to be terrible for them.

Oh this is so so ironic.

10 years ago, everyone was praising Sony for their incredible success with the PS1 and PS2, and now people are saying they should give up on the console market. I think I've heard this before...

Nintendo is doomed!

Yep all those people who were claiming Nintendo would exit the console market after the GameCube are now saying the same about Sony. Nintendo bounced back with the Wii and DS Lite. So if Nintendo can make a comeback, then Sony can too.

If Sony exits the console industry (which they won't, unless they really F up like Sega did), then Nintendo will have to compete with Microsoft and Apple.

@Tendo

The reason why Sony won't release a PS4 is because it will cost too much money. Sony can't afford something more high tech than the PS3 or Vita. Once the Vita launches Sony will lose money with each given system. Beyond that is, if Sony releases another product where they will lose money (especially something that will far exceed the PS3), they might just have to exit the gaming industry for good.

Just for you.

Um... Android is made by Google, not Microsoft. So why would Sony have to pay a fee to Microsoft?

Your right. Because Apple and Microsoft aren't just game companies.

You know that quote that Kaz said ("too soon to announce PS4") could just be a ruse, and Sony might just surprise everyone at E3...

Microsoft announcing the next Xbox at E3 is practically a given, but that would steal all their thunder away from the "Xbox 360 turning into a media hub."

Unless Microsoft really has some huge surprises in store, I will give E3 2012 to Nintendo. It will be 2006 all over again.

I'll be surprised if Microsoft announces a new Xbox. There isn't really any reason to. Kinect just came out and until the Wii U dominates, Microsoft has nothing to worry about being in second place. I say E3 2013.

As for Nintendo, well, if they dominate E3 then that will be 4 years in a row I was immensely satisfied with their show. 2007 was great too. 2008, not so much.

Sony, well, it's whatever. If they decide to leave then more power to them.

Sony won't leave unless the Vita is a complete failure.

If Sony doesn't announce the PS4 at E3, they could always hold a "media-only" press conference like they did with the Vita unveiling. Or they could announce the PS4 at TGS.

Tendo, your not getting the point. The PS4 would be way too expensive for Sony to produce. An entirely new console is unnecessary. And expensive.

New consoles are always expensive with R&D costs, manufacturing, game development, marketing, etc.

PS4 will be expensive for Sony just as the N64 was expensive for Nintendo. And Sony could pull a Nintendo and make the PS4 a small hardware upgrade (in terms of graphics and power).
