No, thats why I'm mostly leaning towards a E3 '13 Announcement. Sense both the HD Consoles are still doing well I don't see why they can't release in Holiday '13 or sometime in 2014. Nintendo needed to announce a new console though. |
Yeah I agree...i picked E3 2013.
I think both MS and Sony were hoping for an extra long gen (i think they were targeting 2014/2015 for the earliest to bring next gen), which imo would have done good things for the industry. Games like cod, assassins creed, gears, gta, halo etc all maintaining high sales, while giving other developers time to be more creative with their games, given that theyd be releasing to consoles with an established and active audience. We might have been able to have seen more games like The last of us etc. So i think in secret they were also hoping for continued success of the Wii.
Now that the wii is slowing down drastically in sales, Nintendo had to do something leading to the WiiU. Microsoft wont want to even chance losing ground to any competing console this time round, surely they have their sights on being number 1 ww next gen. Im not exactly sure what position sony is in, but im sure they have similar sentiments. Now we looking at 2013/2014 releases for the latest, for MS and sony next gen systems.
