Unless they can reveal, market, manufacture, and ship consoles to stores within the next 8 days -- and don't forget the launch line-up -- I don't think it's gonna happen. Honestly, I think Sony could benefit from being the last console out. The PS3 launched too early if anything, and they shouldn't repeat that mistake. |
No, it launched too late at a high price point.
There is no benefit from being last out of the game, except a small boost in power, and maybe a better launch line-up. The thing about launching last is that you give all your competitors time to settle into the market. If PS4 launches 2014, that would give Nintendo 2 holidays and Microsoft 1 holiday. By then, many PS3 owners would upgrade to either the Wii U or Xbox 720.
Many people belive the next Xbox will surely launch first since the Xbox 360 launched a year before PS3/Wii......look what is coming out next Sunday..Wii U! The last console of the 7th gen was the Wii, and the first for the next will be Wii U. If that tells us anything its that PS4 is likely to be next. Why? America. Xbox 360 is dominating America and Sony/Nintendo will base their next-gen plans on how their current consoles are performing in that region since you know, its the biggest.
