Unsubstaniated rumour, they even acknowledge that in the article. I wouldn't be surprised though, but I'll wait for Sony's E3 presser.

Notch given a gold PSOne as his E3 invite to the Sony conference.

that is pretty sweet. Wonder if its a special invite to watch, or if he will present.

Sony better have something good to show at E3. Their E3 lineup will be my decision to buy a PS4 on launch or not, if at all.

I am sure it will be good. Seems they have developer support.

NEw exclusive from Ready at Dawn, and Ninja Theory is expected to show something. Also, while not at E3, Naruto 4 is apparently headed to PS4.

VERY interested to see what Sony is gana do at E3, after Microsofts revel last week!!!

Interested to see what both will bring. Other than MS' [censored] messaging on used and always online I am expecting them to really bring quality on the software side. I am also expecting the same of Sony, I am hoping they have learnt from the 3DS, Vita and Wii U mistakes when it comes to software availability.

I probably won't be buying the PS4 on launch but will be keen to see what they bring.

I don’t buy consoles on launch, too expensive & sometimes they can be a bit buggy! Plus I’m still trying to finish off my backlog from the last gen lol
I just want Microsoft to come clean on the always online & second hand games rumors & allegations!! Or will they dance around the questions again?!
Sony is gana have there big reveal! They should steal the show, I hope!!!
As for Nintendo, what will they be showing??

I don't either. Bought the 360 in 08 and the PS3 in 09 so waited a couple of years. I am just interested to see what they bring.

To be honest, I don't expect anyone to "win" the show on software. I expect both manufacturers to have equally good games for E3. I expect MS' press to be dominated by the issues we didn't get clarification on last week and I expect Sony to either confirm or deny the same 2nd hand stuff as MS. This will win someone the conference.

TBH i am starting to wonder if Sony will be doing the same, given that COD etc are multi plat and EA and Activision will want both consoles to support the same tech. Let's be honest if PS4 doesn't support this 2nd hand game bollocks, Sony wins the consumer over, but loses two major publishers and 2 major FPS franchises in BF and CoD. I doubt that they can afford to lose EA and Activision. But hey, I am happy to be proven wrong

Honestly I think they can affored to lease Activison and EA depending on what else they have lined up. both companies already leave a bad taste in a lot of gamers mouths.

I personally know a few people who refuse to buy their games. Suppose it depends at the end of the day how big their balls are, but also how big the consumers balls are.

A lot of us bitch and whine, and go support these people anyway after that. If PS4 has no DRM, and a large portion of the hardcore gaming community says you know what I am out with xbox and buy a ps4, developers have to go where the games go.

It's the old story of vote with your wallet.

Firstly, Sony already has exclusive content on Destiny (Bundie/ Activision) so they are not going to lose Activision anytime soon. Especially when they make a lot of revenue off the PS brand.

And EA are not going to abandon Sony either. The FIFA franchise is pretty much dominated by PS3 sales. If they skip out on PS4, then Konami will fill that void and EA's best selling sports game gets into trouble in regards to software sales.


Major publishers might be more pro-MS if Sony does not follow with the used game policies etc, but ultimately I see the PS4 doing very well hardware wise. As it stands MS has just gifted the Asian region to Sony.

I believe in Sony. After what Microsoft did, it's not going to take much to convince people to go for Sony.

@Sinncross - Not only Asia, but also Europe where Sony brand loyalty still holds strong and European nations are much more stringent on consumer rights. I think the massive cable TV push is only going to isolate users outside of North America. I just wonder if they'll be able to replicate the cable deals?

On the Giantbomb (www.giantbomb.com) podcast after the reveal, they mentioned Microsoft once organised a BBC app for the dashboard but it was quickly pulled as they would not let their service sit behind a paywall (i.e. Gold Account). If they rely so heavily on linking the Xbox One to TV services, I think they'll struggle in Europe and Asia against Sony.

While the system is too US focused, c'mon NFL and not the English Prem, La Liga or the Champion's League, Lazygamer did report that MS did confirm with them that the system would work with DSTV. If that is accurate the I would expect that they have deals in the pipe with Sky and other Euro satellite and cable providers.

Xbox is big in the US and UK - it's two main markets. Sky TV tie in is guaranteed. The 360 is already set up like that in the UK.
