Do you guys think its wise for either to show new console at this years E3 in light of current console sales?

Teasing it is fine, but showcasing a full fledged console (which atm is impossible imo) would hurt their sales, but I'm pretty sure majority of people wouldnt wait another year considering the price difference of the consoles would be when the next gen systems come out.

Expect a price cut from both systems to be announced sometime this year I am pretty sure, I believe the last holiday season was a test to see how sales would go if a price cut were to occur.

The problem is...these reveals at E3 etc. only really get attention from "hardcore" games and id say generally people who have an interest in gaming. Its not like casuals all saw MS reveal kinect at E3 and said they wana buy it, im pretty sure they saw tv ads, and in store displays etc. So a tease or a reveal like this is really only meant for or should i say it will only get the attention of a certain consumer.

For both MS and Sony this can be a problem since that exact consumer is their target consumer, less so for MS now that they have kinect. My point is a tease or even a reveal will be known throughout the gaming community. And potential buyers that fit this demographic might decide to hold out a year or two. I think thats what MS and sony (definately Sony) want to avoid.

It could be argued that most hardcore gamers already own a current gen console though.
