Zero Percent Chance Sony Will Show PlayStation 4 At E3 2012

There’s been a lot of Internet buzz of late regarding an MCV story that states that both Sony and Microsoft will show off PlayStation 4 and the next Xbox at E3 2012 this June in Los Angeles. But according to videogame analyst Michael Pachter of Wedbush Morgan Securities, that’s not going to happen.

“I think there’s zero chance of a tease from Sony for PlayStation 4 and only a 20 percent chance from Microsoft that they’ll tease the next Xbox,” said Pachter. “Neither console is launching in 2013, so there’s no reason to tease them in 2012.”

Even Nintendo, which is launching its HD Wii U later this year, waited until E3 2011 to show off the device. Nintendo will also have the new console at CES 2012 in Las Vegas January 10-13.

Of the big three, Nintendo is slated to lock in more launch details for its Wii U device, which is expected to offer game developers the ability to offer apps for both the console and the wireless tablet controller through a Nintendo App Store.

Sony, which debuted its PS Vita at E3 2011 and will have the device at CES 2012, has stated that its PlayStation 3 console will have a 10-year life cycle – something it’s replicating with the PS Vita. Sony has been able to keep the PS3 relevant through firmware upgrades that have included 3D functionality and other features. With no launch expected for PlayStation 4 for at least two years, announcing a new console in June while the company is still pushing PS3 games and hardware doesn’t make much sense. After all, gamers know it’s coming.

Microsoft has been riding a high with its Xbox 360. The year that has been targeted by several developers for the launch of its next console (which I hope won’t be called Xbox 720), is 2014. Teasing a device that’s still two years away, and likely wouldn’t have any games available for it by E3, makes little sense. Again, gamers know it’s coming. And Microsoft is still marketing its 360 and Kinect.

While Nintendo’s upgrade to HD graphics (finally) will put its console more in a direct competitive role against Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo has always done things its own way. And what does Sony and Microsoft have to gain by teasing their next consoles. Gamers who want a new console will have only the Wii U as a choice this year. And many of those gamers will likely pick up a PS4 and/or the next Xbox when those devices launch in a couple of years.

AHAHAHAHAHA

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

sony fear wii u...

other gaming bro

thought this was common sense.

Sony is waiting for more info on the Wii U and Nextbox. They have to wait and see what everyone else is doing before they can copy them.

Typical sony...

Sony has to wait. they can't afford to **** this up. The company is losing tons of money and it would be smarter to nurse the vita too good health like ninrtendo did with the 3ds.

Lets not forget that the first console to die was the Wii, the other two are quite alive and with many games in the batch for the next two months, it was Nintendo the one forced to launch something new and able to compete with MS and Sony and not the opposite. Lets see what happens with Wii users during what is going to be an almost empty of games year, and even after WiiU launch the scene will not be much better, PS3/XBoX with hundreds of HD games and WiiU with one or two (or none). The premature death of the Wii will have many Wii users moving to Sony or MS during this year for sure.

Flawed logic for sure considering Wii sold like hotcakes over Christmas. I'm not sure what you mean by "premature death" considering most consoles last about 5 years anyway

Yeah even if the Wii didn't have any new games, I would still not buy a PS 4 or X-Box.

@paburrows

why not?1

Wii's lasted a long time. Me? A PS3 or Xbox 360? Wii U all the way. You're wrong.

No need to
PS3 is already better then the Wii U

Nice opinion Jump Pad.

This topic doesn't make sense. When E3 is over we will see if the PS4 has been uncovered or not.

You make the thread title sound like a fact.

It isn't.

This
I think Nintendo is a generation behind Microsoft and Sony.
Their consoles are more advanced, the Wii U is just now catching up in the HD category while the 720 and PS4 will probably be another step ahead. And yet they will all be grouped in the same generation.
Ninty fanboys and their unwavering blindness

It's got just as much credibility as that MCV rumor everyone's eating up.

And they know video game history. The consoles with the best tech never win the generation, therefore Wii U is a definite winner!!

Hard to tell if your trolling or not. If you are, then what you said is stupid. If not, ignore this post.

...everything he said was true though...?

Talk about blind fanboys.
