Well lets not hope so. I think that it is to much of a chance of letting your competitor get ahead. I'm sure MS doesn't mind putting more preasure on sony and if sony doesn't launch 2013 and MS does, then they have the upper hand again. This I'm sure has not been forgotten by MS, that launching early is a big reason for there success and in this case they have made out well and are in a good position to push out the next with out taking a chance of letting sony get the upper hand.
