I couldn't quite work out what you were saying, I think you're agreeing with me and have worked out what the company is saying, that a) They will not release on any console until it reaches sufficient install base, and that b) at this point in time, they believe that the PS4720 will reach that point before the WiiU does. Now of course, when Nintendo start putting games out for the WiiU, they will revise that prediction.

 

As for launch being 6 months from now, that is some great rounding. PS4 will launch in late November in Japan, just like pretty much every console ever. That is 7.5 months away. It will release in the USA any time from 7.5 months to 8 months from now, Europe 8-11 months from now. 720 may release Nov 2013 in the USA, it may not. Regardless, do not expect this company to be making games to release on the 2nd day of launch - they will wait


That's some great jumping to conclusions. My comment was a general one since I am assuming they will launch the system towards the end of the year (fall/Holiday season)...October-novemeber onwards. You took that and wrote a paragraph about some made up time table 0_o different regions included! 

And no they are not talking about the size of the userbase but rather than having major competition at launch..and they are not wrong. Their problem with wiiu mainly lies with the nature of the userbase and not the size. They believe PS4/720 will have a userbase suitable for the type of games they are making as they did with PS360. This should be obvious as he specifically mentions the Nintendo market and "Audience". They don't think the type of games they make will sell on the system, simple as that

So not sure what you mean by don't expect them to have games on day 2..I never said so..I mean I can read and they pretty much said they won't be there at launch. They would get absolutely buried under all the other releases that we have this year alone. The point you seem to run around here is that they say they don't have any plans for wiiu but they do for PS4/720. Not just for launch. You are thinking too much into this..take the words for what they are

 

PS3 launch: Nov

Wii launch: Nov

360 launch: Nov

Xbox launch: Nov

Gamecube launch: Nov

DS launch: Nov

PSP launch: Dec

PS1 launch: Dec

PSV launch: Dec

 

3DS launch: Feb

PS2 launch, Mar

 

That is just the release in the first country, if you seperated it by region (US, Jap and Western Europe) you see a lot of Dec and Mar added in there.

 

Consoles DO NOT release in October. the PS4 WILL NOT release in Oct. It will release in Nov, Dec, Feb or March.

 

As for me reading too deep, that's like getting annoyed at me for knowing too much. I am reading what they are meaning, you are reading only what you want to.
