Nest gen consoles at E3 2013

New consoles are bound to come out soon and many gamers can't seem to wait, while others are scared of empty pockets. Here are some reasons why the new consoles are coming out in 2013.

Wii u - While sony and Microsofts new consoles are being held top secret, the Wii U has already been announced. This means ps4 and xbox 720 can't be too far away or they will suffer financial losses. Wii u doesn't seem to offer anything much that we haven't seen before and certainly won't sell as well as the original Wii did. The Wii u has just caught up to the other consoles that are 6 years old in terms of graphics and Nintendo has to step there game up before they end up like the SEGA.

PC - Pc continues to grow as the current consoles are becoming outdated with there old hardware and more and more people are switching to pc. If you look at Battlefield 3 as an example, the Pc version clearly dominates the console versions.

Xbox 720 - More and more rumours continue to put gamers into a frenzy of excitement over the next consoles. A developing kit for the next xbox has been sold on ebay for $10,000 and it hasn't been confirmed on whether or not it's real but if it is the games are in development which means we can expect the games to be done by next year when the console releases.

PS4 - Playstation 3 was released after the Xbox 360 but sony claims it is the better product. Sony made a statement earlier this year that "We are not always the first, we are not always the cheapest, but we are always the best" we can assume that sony is saying they will not release alongside the xbox 720 and   will probably wait 6 months to 1 year to release the ps4 ater the xbox 720. We will have to wait and see how this strategy works out, because it didn't do too well with the ps3.

The new consoles are clearly in development and games are rumoured to be. We might have already seen some gameplay from the new consoles with games like watch dogs, or star wars 1313. All we can do is wait, fingers crossed, for an announcement.
