Xbox 720, PS4, Steam Box

[tu y tu mama]

Well ladies and gentlemen, seems like the new generation of console gaming is not too far away. I've been listing quite a bit and there is too much silence, no games are really planned for August-December of 2013, this silence is actually telling something. Shall we expect the new generation of consoles by late 2013?
By the way, for people who didn't know, Valve is coming to the console scene with their "Steam Box" (that might be the name)

Who said the beta isn't going to be tested in the next generation of consoles?

Bumping this.

The PS4 has officially been revealed. You can check out information on it here: http://www.techradar.com/us/news/gaming/consoles/ps4-release-date-news-and-features-937822

Here is just a small bit of information taken from the article:
"PS4: Hardware specs

AMD, as we guessed all along, is coursing through this new system's veins.
Post-event, Sony revealed the system runs on a single-chip custom processor and utilizes eight x86-64 AMD Jaguar CPU cores, with a next-gen AMD Radeon based graphics engine powering the way.
The "highly enhanced PC GPU" packs 18 GCN units - that may sound a like a lot of techy mumbo jumbo but what it essentially means is that the GPU packs 18 processing clusters, each packing up to 64 cores. That provides a lot of parallel processing power, and will thus handle the majority of the PS4's grunt work. It hits 1.84 TFLOPS of processing mojo.
Sony announced at the NYC event that the console will use GPU compute features to take advantage of this components raw power - it'll be used for general computation tasks as well as building graphics.
Memory
The PS4 will ship packing 8GB of GDDR5 memory. That's some super-fast stuff right there and should enable lightning fast performance.
Indeed, Sony has revealed that you will be able to power down the PS4 mid-game and then switch it on again in seconds and pick up right where you left off. That's the sort of loading power that this memory enables.
Other specs
We're also looking at Blu-ray disk support plus good ol' DVD, plus HDMI output support as well as Analog-AV out and an optical digital output.
PlayStation 4 Eye
What's really grabbing though is the development of the PlayStation 4 Eye, a newly developed camera system that utilizes two high-sensitivity camera equipped with wide-angle lenses and 85-degree diagonal angle views.
Sony said the cameras (amounting to 1280 x 800 pixels) can cut out the image of a player from the background or differentiate between players in the background and foreground, enhancing game play handily. There's also mention of logging in using facial recognition and using voice and body movements to play games "more intuitively."
If you want to know how these specs stack up against what we know so far about the Xbox 720 (clue: PS4 is more powerful) - check out our comparison of PS4 and Xbox 720 specs."

Seems like Xbox 720 will be revealed on E3.

It is also said that Xbox 720 and PS4 will have almost the same specs, so it will come down to which one has a better software.

Well a game system isn't any fun unless it has good games. So it may come down to which unique games one system has as well.

Then it's about the developers and which unique things each console has to offer for them to develop.
Tbh; tl;dr your post and I don't know if you mentioned this but with the PS4 you will be able to "send" your controller to your friends and then they play for you. For example if you're stuck in a campaign level you can send your controller to your friend and he can do it for you.

360 was annoying because I had to turn all the way around, 720 is just getting me dizzy.

Doesn't interest me :/ Going to be to busy playing GTA V on PS3. :evil:
