This actually kinda implies that microsoft is aiming for a wii-like console.
If sony having amazing hardware didn't scare them, then that means they're not focused on hardware.

or they have hardware that is not far behind in performance. I don't see why ps4-hardware should scare anyone.


You don't see why? Have you given it any thought?

1)if the harware is comparable, and they are feeling no pressure, then announcement earlier makes the mose sense. At announcement there will be only 6 months before release. Its not enough time to inform the public. Most consoles have nearly a full year at announcment. Furthermore if their hardware is comparable, and they believe sony will try to one up the hardware, that's good because it will increase the ps4 price which ms wants.

 

2)if they're targeting a diffrrent crowd, delaying announcement makes the most sense because it keeps sony thinking that the 720 is based on the wrong ideals (hardware) and is too late for sony to really copy anything. Hardware upgrading is one thing, but feature upgrading is another. If they believe 6 months is enough time and if they're trying to delay, it implies that they have something that will reach mass market attention fairly quickly that they don't want sony to see until it's too late.II

 


I have but I totally disagree with you in every point :)

lol I bet you do, but you don't really provide any reasoning, jsut words like "or they have hardware that is not far behind in performance". If you expect to have a disagreement, you really should provide the WHY rather than the WHAT. As in, if they have hardware that is not far behind in performance, WHY would they then not announce, UNLESS they were worried that Sony would just up the specs.

Do you see what I mean? Saying why you think a certain way is far more important than just making a statement.

Specs have been decided for a while now. Seeing 360 vs PS3 in specs....I dont think specs are the forefront of MS's strategy anyway,at least now.

The timing change is all political and about timing (closer to E3). These are quiet months. Let Sony have them, its a long way til November.
