1. The VITA is not a home console 2. The VITA had almost a year from announcement to release 3. The VITA is failing badly atm.
honestly, HappySqurriel, seeing how poignant point #3 is.... Your point of example (VITA example) seems pretty poor in retrospect. |
The vita isn't failing because Sony didn't announce it earlier or release it later, it is failing because it is an over-priced system that is designed to sell to a very small market (the people who want "home console" experiences on the go).
Regardless of whether the Vita is successful or not, the point is that Sony doesn't have any strict rules about how far in advance to announce a system prior to releasing it. While I wouldn't expect Sony to announce the PS4 at E3 and release it at the end of the year, announcing it between TGS 2012 and GDC 2013 would be completely in line with their most recent system release.
