Will any new consoles be unveiled at E3 2010? (POLL)

Simple question...and post your predictions if you want. I think a year from now will be appropriate timing for at Sony and Microsoft to at least tease the next generation of hardware. The announced consoles may not be released for a year or two after the initial reveal, but I still think we may see at least something at next year's E3. What do you think?

Oh, and just to get this argument out of the way...10-year PS3 life cycle my ass.

I feel that there will be no new consoles announced at an E3 anytime soon, the soonest I think that there would be a new console announced is 2014 and it will be by Microsoft. 

Nintendo will probably announce the Superwii in 2010, but won't come out until 2012.

Sony will keep quiet until 2012

and MS will announce a portable most likley in 2010, but keep quiet until 2012

They'll be definatley working on them in 2010, and I imagine Nintendo is already working on the Superwii

Hm, I don't think Sony or MS will show any new consoles off next year, they showed too much stuff for current gen consoles this year. Perhaps announce new systems in 2011? ...at the earliest.

I vote yes simply because nothing was shown for them this year and current predictions place them hitting around 2012 or so, possibly a little sooner or later, and typically this sort of thing is touted at E3 a year or two before the next gen arrives.

Eh, @ E3 2010 they'll probably show the first actual wand/Natal games, I don't think any company intends to move new hardware so early... What would next gen platforms do? Few developers max out the current platforms in terms of abilities. Game development has become simply too complex for that to occur all that often, so what's the point of moving the goal posts further away when these haven't really been reached? There's no benefit in doing that whatsoever. Sure, you've had your Metal Gears and your Gears of Wars that have exploted the systems good enough, but what about other genres and experiences they could work on offering? This generation will be one of the longest for all companies, I'm sure of that much. It took a while to kickstart after all, and it's basically getting a reboot with Motion Plus and the other motion devices showcased which offer something new without increasing the specifications. Perhaps we'll see some DSi exclusive titles as the first step to make the DS Lite obsolette and exploit the DSi's full power in order to elevate it to "DS 2" status, but probably not much more than that.

I think it's very unlikely - all the major companies are boasting about their long console lifecycles and this year we're seeing innovations that try to fit in with current hardware - I doubt they'd use all these resources on new tech which will be made obsolete in such a short time.

Maybe you haven't heard, but the motion controls guarantee no new console for awhile yet.  though Nintendo has already mentioned the next Wii in the past, the HD Wii, which for all we know is the same Wii just with a HD out... and in a different color... which will no doubt break records in sales day 1.

I think the only real possibility is a WiiHD being announced next year. The console is seriously starting to show some age, and HD TV penetration will have reached a level where Nintendo will consider it a "mass market" enough decision to release. Completely depends on how much Wii sales have slowed down this holiday season though.

If they're serious about it, Natal pretty much confirms that Microsoft is locked into the 360 for another couple years before they start to consider the next step. And yeah, PS3 is nowhere near being done with its primary cycle. In general, I don't see either of those companies making a jump in their tech until a new visual output is available; the jump to the next gen would be so incremental and in the current economic climate, introducing new hardware is a pretty hard sell. So iterate on what you got and wait for that ice to thaw.

I highly doubt it and hope not. Graphics aren't rocketing up like they were a few years ago and they've reached a point where the graphics are satisfying and again, like the SNES days, it comes down alot more to style then sheer polygons.

Not necessarily a new console but I'm sure Nintendo will show off some sort of WII HD next year.

Two Words.
Wii HD.
Well that's more like a word and an acronym but whatever.

I think most of us agree that Microsoft will break early again.

I said No, but I have a feeling it could bite me in the ass later. I think next year will flesh out some of the new motion control stuff we saw this year.

There may be some redesigns by then.  If the PS3 Slim or Wii HD are not revealed by TGS, then they could make an appearance at next year's E3.  I don't expect any new consoles before 2012 from any of the big 3.

I say no with microsoft having this dumbass natall project and whatever sonys new motion controll crap is. I think there trying to get make these console's last as long as they can. I don't think they would be working on that stuff with a new console coming out in a year or two.

no if any new console comes out next year it will be a horrible failure period. 

I hope not.

The Wii is still going strong sales wise so I don't see a reason for them to bring out Wii HD.

I hope not.

I don't think so... I see more shit that has nothing to do with real gaming... atleast from Microsoft and Nintendo.

I don't feel like there is going to be a new console shown this summer. 
 
Reviving the thread because we're at the start of a new year, where we have a basic feel for what is going to be coming out, and we're half a year closer to the 2010 E3.   
 
Microsoft and Sony are attempting to breathe new life they hope will extend the life of the current consoles.  Nintendo might tease a DS2, but I don't feel like Sony is going to show off a new handheld just yet.  Microsoft doesn't seem to be too interested in the handheld market...which might lend suspicion they might tease something, but we have yet to hear any rumors on that front, so I'm still standing firm against a Microsoft portable. 
 
Software, I'm looking for some a few hands-on for this Q4, but I think there are going to be some really nice prettiness shown for 2011.  And those are always such a wonderful pain to watch.

There could be, but I hope not. I'm happy with this generation.

No. At least I hope not. It's way too soon for a new console generation.

Probably see new handhelds from Sony and Nintendo, maybe even from Microsoft, but i think the closest we'll get to a new console is a HD Wii.

No.

Their will probably be an announcement of a new handheld.

*ehem*, this is an old ass thread... 
 
Anyways, no, unless handhelds are counted, in which case I could see it happening

entirely too early

Sega will be making their come back.

" There may be some redesigns by then.  If the PS3 Slim or Wii HD are not revealed by TGS, then they could make an appearance at next year's E3.  I don't expect any new consoles before 2012 from any of the big 3. "

I wouldn't be surprised with an announcement of the rumored 3G PSP 4000. Beyond that, it's too early. 

" no if any new console comes out next year it will be a horrible failure period.  "

At E3, no.  Later in the year?  Maybe a hint at something from Microsoft.

I could see both of the next handheld iterations from Nintendo and Sony, but no home consoles certainly.

I don't think so. For some reason, I still feel like all these consoles are still young, even though that is not true.

How so?  The 360 has already been going longer than any other console in history.  Even the NES and SNES were replaced after only 5 years. If they announced the '720' with a boat load of new features and better graphics than what we currently have, people would buy it just as we always have in the past. That's not to say I think it'll happen though.  Microsoft and Sony will be focusing on their motion controllers, and if they take off will continue to do so for sometime.  MS have already proved their quite capable of reinventing the 360 with the dashboard upgrades, so there's no need for a new console.  If anything they might announce a slimline version, possibly bundled with Natal.  But not an entirely new console.  Nintendo are safe as long as they have their ridiculous sales, but their problem is they've pretty much reached the peak of what they can do with the Wii.  I don't think we'll see a sucessor just yet, but I see them announcing theirs first.  Ditto for the DS.  A new PSP is somewhat more likely, and I wouldn't count out a Microsoft handheld and a more gaming orientated Apple system.
