I am astounded that nobody in this thread highlighted the most singular flaw of this logic, and that would be too soon. Releasing a new edition of this game in less then a year well probably less then nine months would establish a highly dangerous precedent. You do not want consumers deferring purchases thinking that a better, cheaper, and larger version is nine months away. You do not want to sideline consumers.

This would be a bad precedent in good times, and right now given the market it would be damned stupid. You can't be scaring consumers into doubting the merits of buying your products. You know the saying is true once burned twice shy. You only need to shaft early adopters once, and frankly Sony paid for doing that with the consoles price. They really cannot even let people get the notion that this is their standard operating procedure.

This is a very bad idea.
