Nintendo NX and PS4K or Xbox 1.5 Launch 'Imminent': GameStop........

Following AMD's latest financials, which stated that new consoles are slated for "the second one 1/2 of 2016", US video game retail giant GameStop has joined in, claiming that their release is "approaching".

"even though we've got no longer modelled big growth for new innovation on this presentation, we're very thrilled to see the introduction of generation like virtual reality and rumoured new console launches, some of which appear coming near near," GameStop COO Tony Bartel said at the organisation's investor and analyst briefing day in Texas earlier this week.

within the Q&A session that followed, GameStop executives were requested if Bartel's feedback have been related to the Nintendo NX or others together with the closely rumoured PS4K and Xbox 1.5. They did not comment.

Now, it is all but apparent that we'll see at least a pair of recent consoles this yr. From a capacity games list to feasible specs, all of the Nintendo NX is missing is an legit reveal from the Kyoto-based totally corporation. alternatively, Sony has been mum on its plans for its next iteration of the PS4. Microsoft alternatively, has spoken towards any incremental version of the Xbox One. even though FCC filings display that it's miles certainly operating on a possible variant of the Xbox One or a totally new console with a ability E3 2016 unveiling.

All of this makes us wonder if Microsoft and Sony have their clients' excellent interests at coronary heart. The PS4 and Xbox One released in 2013. slightly 3 years later, rampant speculation of recent versions is not an amazing issue. It truely frustrates existing console proprietors and keeps ability new shoppers away. For Microsoft and Sony's sake we hope that their services are slimmed down variations of current consoles instead of today's hardware that could fragment an already burgeoning consumer base.
