Forums - Sony - Sony May Not Announce The PS4 February 2013

NobleTeam360 on 05 February 2013

Well I know your probably trying to keep expectations low but I'm going to say that their is a 99.9% chance this is PS4. They aren't dragging investors and live streaming it and hyping this event if it was a Vita price cut or a new game being announced. Also like someone else said Sony supports their consoles long after they release a new one.

So Sony won't announce PS4 because of website based PS Store

I think the PS3 price cuts will be reveal in E3 with the price of the PS4 too.

It will be the PS4, just because the ps4 is being announced, it doesnt mean the ps3 will be discontinued, this will be thier time to safley secure second place this gen

ps3 price cut to £149 in the Uk and with major games all releasing before the ps4 (rumoured release date of xmas in japan) this will easily make way for a big final blast of sales before the ps4 launch...while continuing to support it for a few more years

Considering the last Playstation meeting they had was to announce the Vita, this definitely is for the PS4. Plus, if it wasn't, Sony would have been real quick to nip those rumors in the bud. Otherwise, it would be a HUGE letdown, and probably the butt of many a joke, if everyone was hyped and then there was no PS4 reveal.


yep pretty much. I mean they are inviting the 'investors' to this event :D should be a pretty big duh at this point


So a next-gen software platform launch wouldn't be important? It's still Sony's first next-gen announcement, whether software or hardware based. And as they spent $380 million on Gaikai, they have to say something about it soon. I don't deny that it will probably have some mention of the PS4, just that it may have a heavy Gaikai focus.


sigh listen..this is the ps4 reveal. It's being confirmed by several trusted sources already. They will not bother holding an event called the PS Meeting if it wasn't a hardware reveal. This is a special event sony does to unveil hardware and afaik there has been no exceptions. 

Gaikai will be a part of their future strategy but they won't have a whole event just for that. Gaikai will get mentioned most probably during this event as well as at E3. 

If you are so confident I am even willing to take a bet on this :) 


No way, I'm not confident at all. I have no idea what they want to do, so I'll gladly defer.

I was just thinking through what I would consider best for Sony, and I personally settled on Gaikai reveal. It seems the best time, as everyone is desperate for next-gen news and will be paying attention. And it's not the easiest concept for the general consumer to grasp, so if they can throw the spotlight on it while nothing else is going on the more people will talk about this. $380 million is still a lot to spend on what will be a footnote to the presentation.

You're probably right though, maybe there are advantages to an early PS4 launch I haven't considered.

They can announce if they like, but doesnt mean its gonna launch this year.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

They are inviting media and investors to the event.

Nuff said, Next-Gen is here and it starts when Sony says so.

If it was something trivial like price cuts, new bundles , new services etc they would make no announcement of it until the event. As an announcement has been made 3 WEEKS prior, It only makes logical sense that PS4 will be announced. Imagine the shitstorm if it wasn't ? No one would listen to Sony hype again . Sony are not gonna dig themselves a hole on purpose .
