I have been thinking that this is how things may pan out.
Microsoft and Sony will continue to be hush-hush about next gen consoles at this years E3. They will continue to deny products are close to release and a launch.
I think it is a strong possibility that they will both show new products at E3 2013 and release them in the fall or winter 2013.They will choose to do this as excitement will still be high from announcements, and not announcing new products will help to maintain sales of current gen consoles for another year. A 2013 launch for the next Sony console will be 7 years into the PS3 lifecycle and 8 years into the 360's.
How likely do you think this scenerio would be to play out?
