We have talked about next-generation consoles quite a bit lately. In fact, we already know that the PlayStation 4 has been rumored to make an appearance at Destination PlayStation in February and that the Xbox 720 could be debuted at E3 2013. Both consoles will likely then be available to purchase just in time for [...]

Earlier this week we heard that the PlayStation 4 could be announced at Destination PlayStation taking place on February 25th and running until February 28th.
