I think most people are thinking 2014, but am I the only one thinking late 2014?



oh I'm pretty sure it won't go for end of 2014..spring 2014 launch date..at least for US/EU


And no...

 

All Major Home consoles since Dreamcast always launch in America during the holidays (Sept - Dec).

Like I said before.....no exceptions to this rule.

lol ok sure

Well,

It's not like I'm making this up...Here, take a look:

 

DREAMCAST - Sept 1999

PS2 - Oct 2000

GAMECUBE - NOV 2001

XBOX 1 - NOV 2001

 

XBOX 360 - NOV 2005

PS3 - NOV 2006

WII - NOV 2006

 

WII U - NOV 2012

 

Like I said, No exceptions

Are those all global launches? Cuz I'm thinking they will launch ps4 in Jp next year as I mentioned above

 

either way..this is a business. Not a tradition. Depending on various factors they could launch any time they deem appropriate


No, these were not global launches....just the American launches.

 

However, it should be noted and understood that Neither, Sony, Nintendo, and obviously not Microsoft.....none of them launch in Japan first anymore....rather, they now launch close....such as with the PS3 having November 2006 in Japan and America.

did you notice the Wii U is launching first in America (NOV) and Japan in December?

This is because America is the #1 buyer of Home game consoles and must be catered to with priority.

Those year staggerings that we used to have like with the Dreamcast and PS2.....those days are pretty long gone now.

So yes....you're right.....it is business......it just may not be the business you were hoping for, possibly.
