Since Sony is in seriously bad weather they may even delay bringing a next console to the market.
The Microsoft plan sounds really half-ass to me. Maybe i don't see the point yet, im a slow learner they say ;P.

Anyways, as i think next-gen isn't really nescesarry at the moment (yeah that's just personal) sony might be able to profit from the early release of the next xbox and continue to dominate 'this gen'. I don't know if developers will buy that. It would make room for more smaller companies to step in on the market and maybe we get to see some gems like in the days of old.

I personally think that delaying ps4 to 2014 would be a mistake and they'd end up in last place next gen... Which in turn could mean that it's the last playstation. At the very latest PS4 will launch in spring 2014. And that's pushing it.

I guess the Xbox Lite (I like that name more) would be for those who's interested in Apple TV or whatever it's called. It's also a great competitor against the Wii U for those who likes the features of Wii U but don't wanna play the games... There's a lot of people out there not playing games, and wouldn't pay for a gaming console. But an entertainment box with the added bonus of some light hearted games on the other hand...

I really disagree with the overall opinion that Sony has to be Nº 1, next gen.

Being on the top in sales is great.  But being profitable is far more important for Sony nowadays.

If they had to choose between being Nº 1 in sales but lose money in the process or Sell less but get a good profit.

I think they would go with the second option.

I think you and I are on the same page here. I'm saying exactly the same thing as you are. PS4 needs to be profitable for Sony. And that's why I think it'll be closer to Wii U's power.

Sony is in a tough position.

Making a console similar to Wii U in power won't work for them.  It might work for Nintendo because Wii U is a big leap from Wii.

Sony really should make a console that is a big jump in tecnology from PS3 and do the same as MS with their subsidized console, using PS+

i agree that sony needs the ps4 to be a major leap over wii u. only question is; can they afford it? its looking rather bleak to be honest...
