Investors and third party publishers are (probably) not confident that the PS3 will continue selling well after the next generation of hardware is released; and third party publishers also (probably) want Sony to release a new system that is (roughly) in line with the Wii U and "XBox 720" to ensure that they can release their games across all platforms, and don't believe that Sony would be successful releasing a system two years into a new generatio |

In addition to what HappySqurriel said, both MS and Nintendo are in a stronger position now than when the 360 and Wii launched. On the other end of the spectrum Sony is not. Wii was expected to bomb horribly and the 360 was expected to be a distant second place. After giving up most of it's consumer base by being slow to market with the PS3, I can't see Sony allowing both Nintendo and MS a significant head start. Given the currency exchange rate situation between the dollar and the yen, MS is a bigger threat than ever.
