Significantly later = 2 years

Later = 1 year

Seems with the Vita releasing after the 3DS, Sonys rule of launching late and suffering arent going anywhere :)

the one year later with the ps3 was significantly late. It single handedly put ps3 in third place (despite outselling it on the same timeline).

My point is, your definitions aren't very grounded.

Sony seems to like launching late, the Vita being a recent and relevant example. 1 year late seems to me their mode of operation in the last 5 years. 

And that timeline BS still cracks me up. This isnt a alternate universe where they had the same launch date. PS3 launched late and we count total sales, not comparative launch sales. And despite outselling it in the same timeframe.......its comparatively embarrassing given PS1 and especially PS2s success. 

1 year was significantly late.

PS3 sells more per year on average (total divided by number of years) than 360. I know you're a 360 supporter, so let me put it in perspective.

1 year is significant because it meant the difference between 2nd and 3rd.

If you have some fact to counter this, please present it. Specific examples are not necessarily fact. Just because they released Vita a year late, does not mean Sony considers 1 year late as normal. That's illogical.

Sony themselves said that PS3 has a lot of unfinished business. It hasn't even hit the 199 price point and if PS4 comes out before or at the same time as it hits 199......well you just killed whatever remaining potential PS3 has left. 

MS on the other hand will theoretically have the 360 around for at least 7 years before bringing on the next gen. Perfect timing to just let 360 coast on mass market prices for a few years more. PS3 on the other hand, again, has never tasted the 199 price yet. All signs point to a 2013 PS4 release at the earliest. 

And the bold.......with PS3 putting Sony in last place and bleeding red ink, and with launching the Vita late and now way more expensive then the head start 3DS.......what makes you think Sony is even logical in their ways of doing business anymore? :)
