PlayStation 4 is due for launch in October or November 2013, predicts Michael Pachter.

"I don't think Sony wants to launch behind Microsoft again, so I'm confident we'll see a PS4 in October or November 2013," explained the Wedbush Securities Analyst, talking to Play magazine.

"It isn't likely that they will launch earlier, as it doesn't make sense to get out too far in front of software, and I'm pretty confident that few developers have been working on PS4 games for more than a year or so. Holiday 2013 will be a comfortable window for Sony, and will give them a chance to get a head start on Microsoft."

Pachter also thinks PlayStation 3 will continue to sell beyond that point.

"The PS3 probably has a solid three years left for sales, so it should make it comfortably to a 10-year life span," he continued. "There are a lot of people who are uncomfortable spending $250 for a console, so I think price cuts to the $199, $149 and $99 will extend the life of a console."

For more on PlayStation 4, check out issue 225 of Play, which features more from Pachter plus Jesse Divinich and his thoughts on Sony's next console. Play issue 225 is on sale now in both print and half-price digital editions.

Viper1 is at it again! I think he's right on this one though.



Bet with Turkish 1 month sig control: He wins if Playstation All Stars: BR sells more than 5m, I win if it doesn't. I won.

Bet with Conegamer for 1 month sig control: He wins if Orbis/Durango have 3GB of RAM or less, I win if both have more than 3GB. I won.

Bet with man-bear-pig for 1 month avatar control: He wins if Vita sells less than 6.5M in 2013, I win if it sells more.

Bet with MARCUSDJACKSON for 1 month sig control: I win if there is an official price cut for Vita before E3 2013.

If Pachter said that, it means that it will be released late 2014.

So it is coming out in 2014 as expected.

Tell us something we don't know.

hang on.... he said he expected that one of them was pushed back to 2014 recently.



When asked about the lack of games in a post-event interview with GameTrailer TV’s Geoff Keighley, Microsoft’s Don Mattrick said: “Look, Xbox is created by gamers for gamers, so that’s our core. That’s our DNA. That’s what we do. We decided that we were going to do an unveil, tell people the name, let them see the box, let them see our vision. And we’re going to show such amazing content at E3. Be planned to be blown away.”

He isnt saying anything that most people arent already thinking. I tend to agree - I think the ps4 will release late next year. The question is whether the durango will also release then, or in 2014.

seriously why does this guy get paid for making predictions that only during a blue moon come true

TheShape31 on 26 November 2012
Confirmed, PS4 will never be released.

Come on October launch.

I think once again Sony is not in a position where they need to put out new hardware, but the other circumstances are forcing their hand. If true through, what a year for 2013 will be for Playstation. God of War Ascension, The Last of Us, Beyond Two Souls, and PS4 plus launch titles. I think most people won't have the wallet for all of that.

Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Well I suppose that puts an end to the whole argument about him knowing what he is doing. I thought it was his job to be knowledgeable, and he doesn't seem to be any more informed then your typical console fanatic. Seriously is this what it boils down to for him. I mean would it have killed him to do a little bit of digging. Seriously consoles do not materialize out of thin air. They are manufactured in factories in real places. That kind of thing leaves a paper trail to follow. Long before manufacturing even commences.
