Opinion: As earlier NX releases, as bigger are the chances it wont be what your waiting for.

Unless they fear that the NX will become the next Wii, or if the XBox is coming soon, they won't. The PS4 is cheap to produce, sells gangbusters and it gets all 3rd party. Just throw all that out the window because of the NX wouldn't be sound.

Ps4 might be selling the best this gen but it isn't doing gangbusters. And you seem to be ignoring that a new competitor will affect ps4 sales in a bad way.

The PS4 was designed to be profitable. The hardware isn't that expensive, they earn money with each unit sold, the software sales are great, the console sells consistently well, the PS4 also doubles as a platform for all of the Sony services... After the finantial drain that was the PS3, Sony wants to stay in the green as much as possible. It's a very safe machine, and they would be risking a lot of that safety if they unnecesarily shorten its lifespam.

And unless the NX becomes a new Wii, the PS4 will continue to sell well. Realistically, the western studios won't be as enthusiastic as the fans when it comes to the NX, and they will keep the PS4 as their main platform. And those games are the main system sellers nowadays. Sony would be more scared of a new XBox than the NX.
