The latest issue of UK gaming magazine PSM3 is now available, and with it comes another bold statement regarding the existence of Sony’s next generation console. Despite Sony President Kaz Hirai denying the possibility of a PS4 announcement at E3 2012, PSM3 is siding with MCV in confirming that the long-rumored successor to the PS3 will make an appearance at the hotly anticipated show.
“Games industry magazine MCV cited their own sources when they joined PSM3 in confirming PS4′s debut at June’s E3 show, but Sony boss Kaz Hirai served all of us a big glass of ‘shut up’ by denying that there will be any new console at E3. So who’s telling fibs?”, stated the March 2012 issue of PSM3.
“Nintendo will attend E3 with Wii U, Microsoft will make a next-gen announcement, and Sony need more than Vita to convince the world they’re equipped for a new console era. Don’t hold your breath for hardware designs, but some proof that PS4 exists is vital to Sony’s success. Expect a name –Playstation 4, duh – at E3, with more at TGS.”
UK trade website MCV previously reported that undisclosed sources indicated that both Sony and Microsoft are currently gearing up to publicly reveal their next-generation consoles at E3 2012 – MCV writer Ben Parfitt stated on Twitter that the sources are “exemplary” and ”ultra high level”.
“Obviously we can’t reveal our sources,” revealed MCV writer Ben Parfitt via Twitter. “But you have my personal word on this – the source is exemplary, 100 per cent concrete, ultra high level.”

Likely that PS4 will be teased in some form at E3 2012 – late 2013 release.
It will probably be a bigger overpriced failure than the PS3.
Yeah, 61 million PS3′s sold is a pretty big failure… Fantard
someone sad that his mom didn’t get him one for xmas?
O/T: well i wouldn’t mind a reveal, as long as there will be announcements of some lineup games being developed for it and released on the day it comes out
How is 61 million PS3′s sold in 5 years and 2 months a failure. The 360 took 6 years for them to sell 60 million. Once PS3 slimgets a price drop to $199 they will overtake the competition. Dont call me a SONY fanboy i also own a 360, but I’m tired of the Halo, Gears, Fable series. That’s why I stick to SONY especially with their 1st party releases they have a diverse library of exclusive titles. Heck you 360 lovers can’t deny it anymore PS3 equally has a fantastic library of exclusives rivaling the 360.
