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

Sony doesn't care about selling more than 360 they care about profits. And the ps4 won't be a beast it will be stronger than wiiU (2-3x) but they won't take a risk making massive losses again thanks to their bad financial situation.

Actually, I don't think that their current financial status is the biggest reason. They released two consoles that were cheap and less powerfull than the competitors and won by huge margins. They released one console that was expensive and powerfull and lost. It's clear that people prefer price, expensive consoles always fail. A gen never was won by a console launched for more than US$ 300 in USA.

I really don't know how Sony lost since they sold close to 600,000 consoles last week and Wii bately managed to sell 200,000, and that was a normal week at the end of this gen.

Sony lost because the Wii has sold nearly 100m and the PS3 just above 70m... End of story. Next gen has already started, and if the PS4 launches in 2014 it'll end up last; MS will surely launch x3ox this year so it would only be stupid of Sony to wait a whole year to release the PS4. Expect the x3ox to be on par with PS4 - even if the PS4 is launched a year later. Only the hardcore SOny fans would wait a whole year to get a next gen machine, and in the mean time Nintendo and MS will sell new systems  like crazy, leaving SOny in the dust. No, Sony NEEDS to release the PS4 this year or be last next gen the whole gen. They'll start in last place and they'll end in last place if your prediction holds true.
