They are releasing a new console because they don't want to be left behind by the Wii U.

lol Nintendo is on its own. Microsoft HAS to launch because they have no more exclusives left. Sony doesnt have to but they cannot let Microsoft gun for more of their marketshare. Why do you think Microsoft has the marketshare they have this gen? They took a large bite out of Sonys.

How is launching an entirly new system going to give them more excluisves than they previously had?

It doesn't, but once you launch a new console, everyone will want to see new iterations of each franchise.
