PS4 to launch in JP and US in 2013, and in EU 2014? More powerful than x3ox and with small touchscreen in new controller?

It's just logistics.  The US is one place.  Japan is one place.  Europe is a whole bunch of different places, each with their own red tape.  I don't think it's ignoring Europe as much as it is NOT delaying the other two primary markets for the sake of Europe.

If it's a touchpad on the new controller, then it will be better at some things than the Wii U and worse at others, which is interesting.

If I were SOny I'd postpone the Japanese release in favor of EU; Wii U is already there and x3ox will probably not make as much as a dent there anyways, so Sony can focus on more urgent markets...

Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see in what kind of fashion they'll use their screen!!

That's not exactly what I meant.  I'm saying that Europe would probably be delayed regardless, it's just a matter of whether they move back the US and Japanese dates to match it.

Japan is easy.  It's one country and small besides.  The US is easy, too, despite being big.  It's still just one country with one set of red tape to cut.  Once it gets to a distribution center, you just put it on trucks and ship it out.  Europe is several different countries, each with their own customs process and legalities to navigate.  The logistics are much more complicated.  I was just kidding about not being sympathetic but I do think it's understandable.
