If they don't show it next e3 then yeah it's not coming out til 2014 but just wait and we'll have our answer.


No company first acknowledges their new home console at E3 and then launches said console 6 months later.....none.

 

This does not happen.  It's practically impossible.

This line of thinking that PS4 is going to be announced from out of nowhere, creating jaw droping shock & awe......This is the "Hopes & Dreams" that I'm talking about.

The Xbox 360 was announced 6 months before its launch.

 Officially announced (Given it's Name) yes....but MIcrosoft acknowledged XBOX 360 (XBOX 2) well before E3 2005.

Like I said, every single company has at least acknowledged their consoles with at least 1 year lead time from launch since Dreamcast.  (Well, actually the Dreamcast was acknowledged/leaked by 3dfx and Sega sued them after).

 

Again, No company just springs forth a new major home console from out of nowhere and throws it to the market 6 months later.  Sega did that once (Saturn)....and as you can see, they are out of business.

But yeah...it doesn't work that way....as much as people would like to "Hope & Dream" that PS4 some how will....it just doesn't work that way, I'm afraid.
