Because what he's posting was confirmed ages ago. http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/25/every-sony-owned-studio-is-working-on-ps4-games

Games just take time. We're only 5 months.

It is not realistic though.

For example, some of those studios could be working on ports.  Others could be supporting the initiatives of other studios whilst maintaining a Vita focus etc.

Taking a conservative estimate for major first party games at costing $40 million (very conservative for the bigger ones in particular) that'd be a $440 million investment in first party games before taking into account ongoing costs of studio maintenance, paying a single dollar for third party content etc.  Don't get me wrong, I hope that is the case because it'd be awesome, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Sony will invest in it. Sony first party is very trust worthy second if only to Nintendo.

Sony certainly has a strong committment too its first party.  But they wont have all those studios making $40million+ games for PS4 - certainly not all of them willl wind up meeting anyone's reasonable definition of 'AAA.'

With the profits they are generating from the PS4 they'll turn a profit on it faster than th Wii U. They'll be able to reinvest much easier this gen than last gen. They lost far too much money.
