All those games you are calling "next-gen" will be available for current consoles aswell except maybe for the witcher 3 wich will be on PC (unsure about star wars). Oops... so much for a meaningful next-gen.

I've already acknowledged that. Some may compare it to the wii U situation but its different in the fact that these games were made with next gen in mind, will arrive on ps4/720 systems on time (in some cases maybe even before ps3/360) and will be visibly better. Many Wii U titles had no obvious advantage over their ps3/360 counterparts other then having a map on the buttom screen and in some cases poorer graphical performance.

Having said that Dragon Age 3 and WItcher 3 are next gen exclusive and more will be announced, we haven't even reached E3 yet. On top of that sony are looking to have a strong first party line up early on With Killzone and Drive club confirmed launch titles, again more will be revealed and I'm sure Microsofts will be just as impressive. This is easily building up to the best start for a generation, the fact that some of the most exciting games are cross gen does not detract from it

We dont know for sure that DA3 will be next-gen only, we know that it will be on next-gen for sure, but they havent ruled out PS3/360 versions and they were in development already so it sounds like a no brainer to release all.

Anyways i have to ask you how have those ports been helping the Wii U? Yeah they are better, and well worth it in my opinion, but it doesnt seem to be enough to get people to buy a new box. At the end of the day, its the exclusives. You say many more will be expected, but at least from third parties its very doubtful there will be any. They need the installed base of the PS360 to justify the investment.

I'm not so optimistic like you that we will see alot more in E3, and if we do i doubt it will be anything that will come out this year or early next year.

If this comes out for ps3, I think it would be coming to ps4 too. Either way I do't its a big deal, I hope we'll see far more exciting things at e3 then GTA6.

Well I think the announce of Drive Club showed that... GT for PS4 a little longer but I expect the GT6 for PS4 and not PS3.

it's probably coming to both. If GT6 is indeed secretly waiting in the wings for release this holiday for PS3, then I doubt SCE is interested in making PS4 owners wait another three years for a GT on their new console. They'll probably release the PS3 version alongside an up-scaled PS4 SKU.

In ways that are barely visible, hence why they dont help the system at all. We've all seen how star wars 1313, Watchdogs look on next gen systems and that is form everyone wants to play them in. For many core gamers at least, if they can afford the new systems, these superior cross gen title will still be a fair selling point. But you're right exclusives will be very important. It'll also be very important to see how far battlefield 4 and next gen COD can seperate themselfs from their current gen versions because that could be massive driving force for next gen adoption. 

With e3 we will undoubatbly see  a strong amount of next gen exclusive titles, they just may be unlikely to come out in 2014 (cyberpunk 2033)... But thats very typical for a systems 1st year.

GTPlanet says PD is involved in PS4 & Vita Hardware Development.

4gamer: A driving game called “Driveclub” has been announced as [a coming up] PS4 software. However, in Japan there’s Polyphony Digital and I think many people are looking forward to an announcement regarding *that* racing game. What [can you tell us] about this?

Yoshida: Key members of Polyphony Digital are involved in the very development of the PS4 and the PS Vita. I am thinking of asking them what’s going on with Gran Turismo, but related matters will be probably made clear by its representative Kazunori Yamauchi in due time.

GT6 cross between PS4 and Vita? Cool.

It wouldn't surprise me. This would be like PS2's GOW2. Sony's last big exclusive for the system. I'm guessing it will be announced at E3, with a release in mid-late 2014. This would not only show Sony is still supporting the PS3 after its successor releases, unlike other console makers, but it would also not eclipse the release of Drive Club (should be a launch title or come shortly after.) Of course, with how easy it is to develop on the PS4, I would imagine GT7 will be out in '15 or '16.

Awesome! I'll see you on the race course then. :D
