that graph ya got their is making my head spin. If only it were created in a sense that human beings could actually understand it... by the way, I'm hoping the ps4 isn't announced. see, I made a bet with my friend for ten smackaroonis that it wouldn't be announed... heh heh... oh boy...

I'm afraid you are going to be owing your friend ten smackroonis in a couple weeks...

I wonder what the conversion rate for smackroonis to dollars is...

1 smackarooni= 1 dollar. I realize that's really complicated, I'll understand if you don't get it.

no need to insult just kidding...

nothing is confirmed,until sony announces it.

Historically, see my sig, youd be wrong.

Sony can make a exception, but their 2 gen history is very telling.

Was Kaz calling the shots on the release dates?  Nope.  In fact, the Vita's recent launch proves what will most likely happen.  It was announced at a Playstation meeting in late January '11 and launched the same year in Japan and parts of Asia later that year.  So, we're most likely looking AT THE VERY LEAST a launch later this year in Japan and parts of Asia, and a release WW in early 2014.  However, I'm expecting a release in Japan/Asia and the US, just in time for the holidays.  No matter which it ends up being, MS isn't getting much of a headstart, if one at all.  Good luck, MS. 

This doesn't confirm anything. Some consulting company put this slide together. It's just their educated guess.

You are being just as optomistic as I am. But even going by handheld trends, which are also the same for both PSP and Vita, its bad news. PSP announced in 2004, launched only in Japan in 2004. Vita announced in 11 and released in only Japan in 11.

So if PS4 releases just in Japan for 2013, that gives MS NA and a head start in Europe. Or, if it follows the console trends, then MS will have a global head start. In fact I take it back, your being a ton more optomistic then I am, since I am using Sonys very own history
