According to a report by MCV, which is actually a report based off of secret sources, both Microsoft and Sony will unveil their next consoles at this year's E3. Yes, ladies and gents, the PlayStation 4 and the next Xbox (NeXbox?) will apparently be revealed this year.
According to MCV, this will mark the first time in the show's 17 year history that three competing rivals will have all-new platforms on display at the same show. Keep in mind that there probably won't be a mega huge reveal here. If anything, it will just end up being perhaps a name reveal with a mock up of the potential design. Firm specs are probably ruled out already. Pricing on the new platforms? I would not hold my breath if I were you.
Then again, this may all end up being a load of crap if the "sources" were wrong or lied.
Microsoft has long been rumoured to detail its next-gen plans at E3 2012, and MCV's third-party publishing sources claim the firm had signalled to partners this will happen.
The 360 is one of the longest-serving games consoles in history. But the real surprise is an early move from Sony. Execs at the PlayStation firm have made it clear to third-parties that they will not be left behind this time.
