The largest gaming conference in the United States -E3, is almost here and Sony sure has big plans. The video game industry is looking forward to a new gaming console and it looks like Sony is planning to give them one.

Sony have confirmed that they will unveil new hardware at E3. It remains to be seen if they are simply unveiling the PlayStation Move or presenting the more awaited PSP 2 or the PS4.

Apart from games, Sony will also showcase their latest technology like full-body motion capture. Apart from this, they will also showcase new motion-control inputs and 3-D systems at the video game expo.

Sony is also expected to show more titles that will play in 3D on the PlayStation 3 console.

“This is good for the industry because it gives consumers new ways to play on the boxes they have in the living room,” said Frank Gibeau, president of the EA Games label.

With Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo drawing big plans for E3, we can surely expect a few cool launches.

The cell processor in the PS3 will be upgrading to 45nm in 2009, but, ‘impress’ have posted news stating that this is the chip the Playstation 4, hopefully due for release in 2010, will use too.

Reasons for using the same cell processor? To cut down on production costs it would seem, if the news is correct. It will be a technologically advanced processor, certainly advanced enough to be ahead of Microsoft and Nintendo in this area, so it shouldn’t be too much of a worry for anyone looking to the future of the Playstation brand.

Plenty of time for this news to be proven true or false of course but, its always good to read a little news to remind us that the PS4 is coming our way!
