You can blame Blu-ray for the late launch of PS3.

Since PS4 will most likely be Blu-ray compatible, it will most likely be launched alongside the next xbox.


They said they'll launch last though, most likely.

But not a whole year. They can't depend on the brand name again after the PS3.

You are forgetting a very basic human want: Status symbols.

Back when the PS1 and Sega Saturn were released, I had friends in my neighborhood who bought them because they were more expensive giving them bragging rights, eventhough we thought they were complete tools and still are to this day.

In many places everywhere, I would bet many of your many of your most vocal Sony supporters are those who buy Sony as a status symbol.

In a fool's mind, $600 compared to $200 with a few more exclusives means better and something they can say "I have this and you don't nah nah nah nah!"

I don't think Sony wanted last place again, though.

Still won't stop Sony from pricing their PS4 $50 to $100 dollars higher though. As for last place, this is not a race; it is a ruthless business where decisions are made long-term looking back at the successes of PS1, PS2, and PS3 and adapting.

Sony will be there with a PS4.
