i don't even know why you are bringing up E3 2013 into this,.. 

...why should any company let any other company "have their day".  if sony can announce something that grabs the headlines that day then it minimizes the (free) exposure halo would get.  minimizing a comptetitors advantages is good business.

I can bring up E3 2013 if I feel like it. Lot of mud-slinging on Sonys part this gen so far. Announcing something on halo 5 day is being sore winner...not like this race is gonna be close or anything lol. Sony literally just has to manufacture these things and it sells itself.

Bold is more reminisent of good ol American business tactics. Had the shoe been on the other foot, MS would most surely be criticized for this (they were back in the early 7th gen when PS3 was at its worst). But with Sony its chill.

Yes they should also give up the USA market to let MS have their day in the sun....

"Sony literally just has to manufacture these things and it sells itself."

That's not the case for USA so I don't know why they shouldn't do everything they can to neutralize Halo 5 that could be a threat for them in USA.
