These next 3 years would be to squeeze out as much profit as possible would be able to market it better to stay relevent against wii u/nextbox. Releasing in 2016 would give it a 1-2 year lead on the following gen. |
consoles sells have a lot to do with momentum. If they delay that long Sony would lose all that momentum, and then when they released the ps4 would probably have sales and software support comparable to the vita now.
Basically, it doesn't make sense. The profit in video games is mostly from software sells and what you describe would result in significantly less software sells in a the long run.
What sony needs to do if they are worried about profit is make a new system that is actually profitable. They should cut back on specs and focus on innovation like nintendo has done. Even microsoft looks to be focusing more on innovation next gen with stuff like illumiroom and virtual reality being the supposed priority of the nextbox.
You don't cling to a sinking ship trying to get as much distance out of it as you can, you abandon ship and find a new ship to get you where you need to go...
