"Nintendo is set to enter the next generation ahead of Sony and Microsoft with the Wii U, due out this Christmas.
Microsoft is strongly rumoured to be preparing to announce its next Xbox at E3 in June, with a launch planned for 2013." PS4 supposedly will be the last to announce plans.

Report: No Used Games on Next Xbox [wtf?]. "According to sources speaking to Kotaku, the Xbox 360's successor will have some kind of anti-used-game enforcement. There's no explanation of what that means, but speculation surrounding the issue says the console could outright reject used-games altogether."

-------------------

i dont think im ready to spend 500 on a new console yet, nor do i enjoy the no used games thing.oh well, hopefully new system specs will allow for awesomeness gfx. although i feel like i will be transitioning to pc gaming mainly soon.

Not allowing used games is pretty stupid IMO, just have the online pass codes or something. If I want to play a single player game, lets say Fallout, I would rather buy it used than have to spend the $60 (Providing it's brand new) to play just a single player game. Also for online codes, they better make them work for the whole system, not just one account. Resistance 3 online code and Battlefield 3 only gave online to the one account on the Playstation that registered that code...I'm not going to buy another game just for the code to be able to play on my log-in instead of my brothers.
Pretty sad that new consoles are getting announced, I'm happy with the 360 and PS3, soon enough they will be obsolete and I'll need another $400 for another console
