We just got handed a scoop for some important news with one of the next-generation consoles. We can't talk about any specifics yet, but you have our word that this announcement is something worth waiting for.

Expect all the info tonight here at Joystiq at 12:01 a.m. Eastern.

[Update: An apology for this post, and a note on hype.]

its sooooo the Wii........

Sony exits the console business.

FINALLY!!!

Can we bribe you to tell us now?

Wiiiiiiiiiiiii o/

Thanks.

The Phantom is back on schedule!

If its not the Wii's price, its the announcment of a 4x Blueray drive. Well.. thats what I'd consider important. Wii price estimate = $200

You are such a tease!

Joystiq tickles me in all the right ways.

Dreamcast2!!1

xbox 360 price drop?
Ps 3 cancellation and extension of Ps2 line?
wii price?

I love news teasers...

How interesting.

That's 6AM tomorrow for us Brits, if any of you were wondering.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Sony is not releasing the not-so-popular PS3, in fact they are joining with Sega of America and become the largest third party developer in video game history!

conveniently, one week from nintendo press event

Just tell me the price of the freaking HDDVD add on and a date.

Maybe some WII info too. THanks. Thats all I ask.

J

The Phantom lives!

It is totally gonna be a Wii price confirm. Awesome!

...although Dreamcast2 would be amazing as well XD

Wii news... Would be my guess

"Joystiq tickles me in all the right ways."

I bet they do, thanks for sharing...

sega is releasing a new game system!!!

Derbeste,

"Is it peas?!"

HA!

Seriously, though, we haven't gotten anything in the 360 Fanboy inbox, so I'm guessing this news isn't from Microsoft. That, or they don't trust little old me.

What's that in GMT?

PS3 price drop to $299?

Atari 64 in 4 great colors!

- Purple Haze
- Green Scream
- Red Fireball
- Blue Tornado

I can't wait!

Mario Hopskotch!!!

Give me a "W"! Give me an "I"!...

But wait a minute, isn't Wii a new-gen console, not next-gen? Now how about that...

Dreamcast2??? That's the Xbox 360! Duh.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

probably wii...could be something about the xbox hd-dvd drive. definitaly not sony news.

@ darryl

aww are you sad cuz people like nintendo and not sony anymore? cheer up mr. troll, come november you can beta test the piece of shit box 3, for 600+ i might add. im sure it wont have any problems.

The Commadore 64000?

@#20: Hey, Mitchell.

Give peas a chance!

You know you should tell all times in GMT format. Would be easier to convert. I have no idea what eastern time is :)

Dreamcast 2 would be awesome.
Or all those cool Gamepark devices getting US release would be cool.
Prolly though, it is nothing that earth shattering.

....This just in! Sony says "Sike!" and announces it is shipping 10 million PS3 consoles worldwide! Tomorrow!

PS3 to release tomorrow!!!

If Joystiq is excited, it's probably something bad from Sony.

Price hike?

World wide PS3 delay till March 2007?

--- I kid, I kid --- =)

Richard Mitchell:

I think I love you! :)

Pickle Claw FTW!

I have an inside source that knows exactly what this news will be:

"Final Fantasy XIII will not be exclusive to PS3."

Bank on it.

12:01 am EASTERN!!!! Damn joystiq is going anit-europe now! That's 5 in the morning!!! (I'm just kiddin' ya)

PS3 (great news): Playstation have decided to leave blu-ray until PS4 and go ahead with a backup plan they had involving HD-DVD.
Xbox360 (boring news): Microsoft have announced that suchandsuchaperson who worked for agamewhichisanxboxexclusive have resigned.
Wii (???): ???
Sqaure&Konami (Holy Masterful): They are releasing FF13 and MGS4 on the xbox360 aswell :D

Hope it's good...

If it's anything like politics, then it aint good news. Good news doesn't come out on Fridays.

It's the announcement that the PS3 won't be out until March in Europe :-p

However, the post says it is about one of the next gen consoles. THat makes me assume it is about the PS3, the WII or the 360.
MY GUESS is the WII will be renamed.

the wii technical specs have been increased 10x making it the most powerful console in history, it will be free and come packaged with a cupon redeemable for the entire nintendo game catalog.

also... an insanely hot gamer chick will fall in love with you and live only to fulfill your every need and desire.

Netcraft Confirms It: PS3 Is Dying

You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict the future of Sony's PS3. The hand writing is on the wall: the PS3 faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for the PS3 because the PS3 is dying. Things are looking very bad for the PS3. As many of us are already aware, Sony's PS3 continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. Sony's PS3 is the most endangered of them all.

I'm putting my money on AlloyNES being right.

TEASE!

I'm still holding out for PS3 news that ISN'T bad.
I've been a Sony Fanboy since I got my PS2, and for the first time, I am ashamed to say it.

Delays...a whopper of a price...limited dev support...big loading times...and now, more delays.

Dammit Sony, you better make it up to us. Now.

*Crosses fingers for good news*

Is Scuba Owl coming to next-gen consoles? I haven't seen anything about it on ScubaOwl.com

Uh, that Sony is backing out of the gaming market?
