[PS4, XBX] Report: Xbox Next and PS4 Will be at E3 This Year

It seems we will be playing this game for a while yet. All kinds of rumours and speculation have been rampant since last year's E3 regarding when the next-generation Xbox and the PlayStation 4 will be revealed now that Nintendo has unveiled the Wii U. A more credible source has recently stepped forward though, as UK gaming website MCV claims to have some high-level sources that are confirming that both the next Xbox and the PS4 will be at E3 2012 in some capacity.

"Obviously we can't reveal our sources. But you have my personal word on this - the source is exemplary, 100% concrete, ultra high level," stated MCV online editor Ben Parfitt via Twitter.

It's unlikely, if the report is true, that either console will have a particularly significant presence at this year's E3, given that neither is expected to be launched until late-2013 at the earliest. But no doubt their mere announcement along with a handful of details would take a hefty chunk of swagger out of Nintendo's stride as they reveal final launch details and games for the Wii U at this year's E3. As always, such reports are to be taken with a grain of salt until confirmed, but E3 2012 could be shaping up to be one of the most significant shows in the event's history.

The PS4 might not be at 2012, fair enough - but I wouldn't 100% rule it out. Sony do not want to launch 2 years after the Wii-U and 1 year after the Xbox, they don't want to play catch up again.

At the very least it means that games should finally be in proper HD (1080p/60 instead of something like 640p/30 which we see on the current gen upscaled to HD)

I doubt we'll even see that - third party games will be the same, Wii-U will probably get less third party games than the other two platforms anyway and then the Wii-U will eventually be behind again. Vicious cycle and all that.
