What a strange situation. Quite a lot later than I'd ever imagined.
It's one thing Sony being late in Europe with PS3 where they'd built up a lot of goodwill over two generations, since Microsoft hadn't make any inroads in that region with their previous console.
But this is a whole other level of "handing the market" to a competitor. Their dominant market where your console had finally made decent progress in the region, only to hand them a 10 month head start.
And it's not like the WiiU vs. PS4 in Japan either, where WiiU had a whole 14 months on the PS4 but barely gained any traction. The PS4 is selling in Europe and the longer MS leave it, the further and further away they'll fall.
Still, I have to assume a decision like this is only out of necessity. We'll have to see how things play out.
