THis has been the Date that I personally would have guessed now that Sony picked its date for PS4.  M$ has been going first on most of it's announcements and that hasn't worked very well so far for them.  I am guessing that they knew that Sony was going on or about the 15th, so they scaled back their launch country total to ensure they had enough systems for their Europe launch in the Key countries to them.  In America, they need the 5th to get their own press for a week before the PS4 onslaught.

Wait... you think ms has been going first?

Yes, Sony announced the PS4 first, but didn't even show the unit at all.  We all knew they were both coming out this year.

I meant that M$ announced key elemnts first only to allow Sony to focus on their differences when they had their conference a few hours later.  Sony admitted they changed their E3 presentation to put more emphasis on NON DRM.  M$ releasded their console price First and Sony announced after.  I think M$ didn't have much left to announce besides the launch date at this point, so they waited to see if they could get some type of tactical advantage.
