Doesn't make sense to me. A release this year to drive sales over Holiday season makes a lot more sense to me.
It would be better for Sony to bring the controllers, and new specific titles using them, to market after FFXIII and GT, together with a price cut in time for the Holidays, have driven a big boost in install base, particularly in Japan/Others.
That way they then have a really good base to launch the controllers to.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
