But as I said it won't matter because for the vast majority of consumers it won't affect the decision of purchasing the console or not.

well, i think that wouldn't change anything for the end consumer. reading "microsoft uses the same tech like sony" won't sell less consoles as "sony uses the same tech as microsoft". if both consoles release almost at the same time, the consumer will think both companies were first with the tech.

i don't even think that a reveal in february or only may will change anything. the only reason why i think companies should reveal the console before e3 is to have enough time at e3 to show more of everything. if they would first reveal the console at e3, the conference would take 3 hours which would be probably too long.

important are the weeks before release like the ad campaigns and the release itself and what the console has to offer.

i edited my last post which you probably didn't see. i already said there that only the final product really matters and not the dev kit stuff.

Sorry for the late reply, I'm at work after all.

And I think that we agree that it doesn't matter who did it first or second. It doesn't affect the end product nor the chances of someone buying one or the other. It will only be used by fanboys to attack each other.

Marketing, price and games is mostly what will decide who wins.
