Having an announcement just as lackluster as the PS4, is the best possible thing that could happen to them at this point.

What could they possibly offer me I can't already get? halo? After they decided to crowbar their arcade to death by treating arcade and the indy developers like shit they have nothing for me. I'll take all the pc exclusives for halo.

There has been no hint that Sony will charge for the PSN in the next generation, so that extent that I care about this is that we can stop calling it the 720

Ok... So why the 21th of may? I take it they already know what is in it, what it can do and what plans it has. So why announce that in 26 days it will make an announcement? That's just stupid, meaningless PR crap to hype up but how can it with nothing new. They could do the announcement now or just wait till E3. This is idiocy at it's worst.
Waiting till E3 would probably be a little bit of PR suicide because they would lose a lot of attention in the general E3 deluge. And I think they've already been hurt a lot by the PS4 announcing first (unless all the rumours are true, in which case there only hope is to never ever tell us about it and hope someone buys one by mistake). I agree 26 days is a really weird timescale, but you do need to preannounce these things so that the news sites can prepare and anyone who wants to see it has time to find out about it

They'll confirm non-always-on-DRM, preowned games are fine, the console is cheap, there are no social gimmicky things and Fallout 4, a new Mass Effect, Red Dead 3 and Monster Hunter 4 are all exclusives and then angels will descend from the heavens because it is too good for us all.
But in reality, they don't really need to try hard to beat PS4.
Monster Hunter 4's already a 3DS exclusive, and to be frank not sure many people here want a new Mass Effect after 3. Fallout 4 and Red Dead 3 (which won't be called Red Dead 3) though, that would be cool.

OT: I predict one thing that will cause a massive shit-storm, whether it be Kinect 2.0 being the focus, DRM or something else. Let's just hope it isn't as boring as the PS4 reveal.

There's been a Red Dead 2?? Why have I not known this??

And yet, I'm not holding my breath for that. Unfortunately, what's been going on this gen, and being hinted at being worse in the next, has put me seriously in doubt for the next gen, and I don't really think it's needed yet. Gonna stick with my 360 and PC for now.

I agree with this. E3 this year will be a big year, with Nintendo shoving out it's heavy hitters, Sony showing the actual PS4 and maybe some surprises and Microsoft getting in Jay-Z. It would be better for Microsoft to get the console announcement out of the way so they can focus on games.

They got an uphill battle to deal with after all the insanity that has been going on with the Xbox 360 dashboard applications and advertising. At least we will finally get to see the finalized specifications on the console.
We don't even know if they will do that though. Sony's reveal of the PS4 specs was rather unusual during its reveal conference.

I can't wait to see if they'll confirm/deny the persistent always-on rumors.

I know, I was just meaning the third Red Dead

Red Dead Redemption was Red Dead 2, Red Dead Revolver was the first.

With the release of Halo 4 and GoW Judgement recently, I'm genuinely interested in the exclusives they bring as their big guns have just been used.
Features-wise... meh. Not much I want that I think they'll implement. Modability? Cross-platform play? Those'll be the days. Just make XBL free, don't have any of stupid features and that's the best I can hope for. I expect the processing power to be an improvement, but don't spend hours talking about it as though it's the main selling feature.
(This is coming from a part-time Sony fanboy)

I highly doubt RDR3 will be one of the release exclusives they announce considering GTA5 is waiting in the wings for the new consoles to finish announcing themselves.

Hmmm... not a bad name. Wonder if just referring to it as the "Infinity" will catch.

Eh, if it's true, it could be worse.

Well only time will tell just how this will turn out, i know they need to keep somethings hidden so there's going to be.....suspense? is that right? for the xbox's main features or to have time to mitigate the damage with this presentation if their E3 reveal will end sour, all i know is that the videogame industry's future ain't looking bright here.

I'm not sure if there has ever been a console reveal that helped bolster it's hype and reassured everyone that this console is gold, the only one that comes to mind is the ps2 but i have no idea how that went, was to young to have an interest in gaming then.

if it's gonna be called that, it's gonna be hard to name the next console that replaces it afterwards. I highly doubt this is it's actual name, unless MS has a better subtitle to name their inevitable next-next gen console than infinity.

I just love these announcements of announcements. They make so much sense and they totally hype me for the product. They don't in any way make me furious.

Well, time to see if I'll be buying it or if I should finally get Windows 7 for my Mac

But why is it all the really neat stuff is on Steam, and the only game I missed out on by not having a playstation or xbox was Red Dead Redemption? Because this gravy train is leaking.
I got a PS3 almost exclusively for Red Dead Redemption! Because of it I suppose I also got to play Demon's Souls and Uncharted 2, Infamous, and God of War 3, but really RDR was the first and only reason I had for getting a console. Without it, my PS3 would not be sitting up gathering dust once I tired of all those games.

Next gen systems are going to have to pull out some great titles if they want to regain the interest of those that have any idea how to use a computer to play games.
