Now that Sony have set a date for the unveiling of the next-gen Playstation (namely next year’s E3 in Los Angeles) we could be up for a treat in terms of new consoles.

Nintendo and Microsoft aren’t going to want to get left behind again on release dates (for fear of consolodating the Playstation’s existing lead in the market) so there is likely to be a whole load of hype from all parties going on in the next year or so in the build up to the unveiling(s) and the sale dates (which are still a big unknown).

I think it’s gonna be fun to watch.
