Wii U 2012
NextBox 2013
PS4 2014
That's the way it is. Sony can't afford to launch another system within the next 2 years yet when the PS3 is finally starting to turning a profit for them, and with the impending Vita launch which is going to drain more cash from Sony (they're selling it at a loss), and where the long-term success of the platform is still very much up in the air.
The traditional "5-year" console cycle is long gone as of this generation. And even when it comes to Sony, they haven't had to stick to the arbitrary 5-year cycle the way Nintendo, Sega, and more recently M$ did... PS1 was already out for almost 5-1/2 years before PS2 launched in Japan, and it took more than 6 years between the PS2 and PS3 launch. Sony is only going to make their move when M$ does, because they don't feel that the Wii U is as big of a threat to them, as it's only catching up to the 360/PS3 in terms of power and graphical abilities, and won't be leaps and bounds over the PS3 like the "NextBox" will be.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
