I don't see it.
Sony has reported losses 4 consecutive years in a row as a company - although PS may turn profit, it's not big enough to nullify the losses in other departments, which are most likely affecting financials of the company as a whole, and with the Vita launch around the corner and most likely loss per unit, I don't see Sony making enough money to BUILD the console or being afford another launch till at least 2014 - Maybe when Vita becomes more profitable and the profits are squeezed out of PS3.
GT6 is likely as a launch title, but it'll definitely be there within a year of launch.

yes the PSVita will launch at a loss
it will cost Sony $310 to make the Vita but they will sell it at $250.
The $310 cost to make Vita will drop down to $280 by 2013
they make up for those losses with the software profits
but Sony's having the PSP around will also cancel out some of that loss at PSVita's launch

That still doesn't negate the fact that the other divisions - such as TV etc are far from profitable, not even breaking even. Where do you think they'd get the capital to launch a console when they've been losing money the last 4 years?
Hence my point, until financial situation improves with Sony, they'll likely delay launch as long as possible - the only people that actually want the next generation to come are the fanboys, so they can have bragging power, I highly doubt that the corporations such as Microsoft and Sony are in a rush to bring new console out, although MS is in a better position to launch a new console than Sony is at the moment.
You know corporations don't have access to unlimited amount of money, and I am genuinely surprised Sony can carry on spending money such as on the Ericsson deal when they're making a loss.

i thought Sony's Gaming division is strictly its gaming division and their Camera/TV side were strictly it's own division?
They dont overlap.
Sony Electronics, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Sony Computer Entertainment, Sony Music Entertainment, Sony Ericson and Sony Financial are all in different divisions and they stay IN THEIR OWN lane
and yea i agree about the fanboys though but even the fans also
i believe i have to be like the 1st PlayStation fan who has stated that i am starting to look forward to the next generation. I've never really seen any other PlayStation fan OR fanboy claim that they are waiting for the next generation
the only Fans and Fanboys i've seen who cant wait for the next generation are the Wii fans(justified because Nintendo have already announced Wii U) and Xbox Fans(mainly because they have no games) <-- NO OFFENSE TO ANY XBOX FANBOYS READING THIS but hey, it is what it is..

I can't seem to get it through your head, SCE is owned by Sony, if Sony doesn't have much money, how will they give money to SCE - even if profitable, AS A WHOLE Sony isn't making any money, some divisions yeah - but why turn those divisions unprofitable when you can just leave them to bring the money in.
Your last statement speaks for itself really, I think you're flamebaiting here (again), and I am not going to rise up to it.
If Sony goes bankrupt SCE will go too because it's owned by Sony, and not a company on it's own.

LMAO!
ok about the flamebaiting thing, so basically you are saying that i was flamebaiting because i told the truth? yea ok NotStan -_-
and i WAS NOT referring to YOU as being a fanboy if that's what you thought ..i was just saying LMAO
but if you took it that way then whatever..
i know that Sony basically didn't have any money UNTIL the PlayStation came on the scene
PlayStation was the reason why Sony made so much money besides the Walkman
so i dont know why Sony would give money to Sony Computer Entertainment when SCE is the money maker of the company
now the PS3 investment costed Sony a lot of money. I am awear that it completely wiped out all the hardware profits that were earned by the ps2 and went into the profits earned on ps1 hardware BUT IT DIDN'T WIPE PS1'S HARDWARE PROFITS OUT
SCE still had money, but not enough to throw around or spend
but what is so different about ps4 being launched in 2014 than it being launched in 2013?
you do realise that all Sony has to do is make sure that they dont invest a crap load into the PS4 that way they wont lose crazy loads of money when it launches
you do realise that this is what i have been saying the whole time right? -_-
