Sony's got too many AAA PS3 titles coming next year to make it a necessary year for PS4 to launch. I still say fall 2014 for PS4. 2013 for Xbox 3 for sure, though. There's nothing on the first-party release calendar after Gears Judgement.

I don't see how releasing a bunch of AAA exclusives early next year stops Sony from releasing a new console in Fall.  They have just as many first party studios who haven't announced anything in awhile and they said there were games in development for it at last year's E3.  Also some first parties like Media Molecule and ND have 2 teams and 1 has an announced project.  I'm expecting a CES hint with E3 giving the full details.

I didn't say they wouldn't announce at E3 or sometime next year, I just said they wouldn't release next year.  I stand by that.  They'll release in 2014.

I agree. Sony will try to keep PS3 its top console for 2013 too, its costs were higher than competitors, so it needs high sales to recoup the investments. Moreover, Sony will want to end rebuilding the PS brand name, thanks to PS3 outselling its gen competitors long enough at the end of this gen,  before switching to next gen, and finally Sony could be willing to dedicate 2013 also to support PSV's take-off. Supporting both the end of PS3 life and a new beginning for PSV won't leave many resources to support a new home console too.
