Dear Sony, WTF?

Which again goes back to my not liking how Sony conducts business.

I don't actually see Microsoft or Nintendo moving to a new gen anytime soon, one having just launched a brand new console edition and major interactive device*. For the PS4 to launch 'early', it might actually be jumping the gun a great deal too much then it can handle.

It is important to remember that releasing early not only gets you a step ahead of the game, but it lets your competition learn from your mistakes for their launches instead of making them.

*I would actually like to see this become a trend, with the old method of "new console every couple of years" replaced with "Console software upgrades often, and console hardware upgrades as technology advances". A lot was learned from the early editions of the Xbox 360, which was improved upon in the later manufacturing runs, and more was learned from them and used to improve the new incarnation of the 360.
