Sony Won't Release PS4 until 2014 and It Won't Be a Gimped Console.

However, the most important reason in my opinion that we won't see PS4 in stores in 2013 is that Sony's not going to release it until after the Playstation 3 has finally passed the Xbox 360

What does this matter and how does it make it the most important reason? No really, I genuinely don't understand, do they want to advertise as being the 2nd most popular console of last gen so you should buy a ps4?

Also why can't they continue to profit from the ps3 after the ps4 launch? Ps3 may even outsell the ps4/xb3 early on.

I think when it's all said and done 360 and PS3 will be considered a different gen from the Wii.  Especially since Wii stopped selling in dramatic numbers some time ago and 360 and PS3 had well over 50% of the 7th gen's marketshare.

LOL so you want to exclude Nintendo? I know you haven't been on this site for very long but in 08/09 Nintendo were absolutely crushing sony/micro and were no joke on this site. They have won this gen, just because they haven't been the top console in the last few years doesn't mean their history is erased.

 

The question for most of this gen has been whether Wii is really a true 7th gen console due to its comparable lack of horsepower in comparison to 360 and PS3 or whether it's a late 6th gen or a 6.5 gen console.  I think in the long run it's going to be telling that PS2 sales and Wii sales fell off at about the same time.  Sony's finally retiring the PS2 this year.  Ostensibly the same year Nintendo's retiring Wii.
