Sony: "We'll let Microsoft announce their console first"

4.5
Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai says Sony will allow Microsoft to announce their Next-Gen console first. As we all know, the next generation of consoles will more than likely be released this year. But despite speculation regarding their existence, they still have yet to be officially announced. In a recent interview with The Times, Hirai said Sony will wait for Microsoft to announce their plans first, before unveiling the next PlayStation console. "Why go first, when your competitors can look at your specifications and come up with something better?" Hirai's statement would tie in with previous history, as the 360 was announced before Sony revealed its PS3 back in 2005. Sony has also been adamant that they want to release their next-gen console before Microsoft this time around.

I personally am not bothered as to which console is announced first, nor whether either Sony or Microsoft then try to outdo the other after the unveil, I just want to find out what they are going to look like and what their specifications are.

Knowing how many people can't wait for the next Xbox over the next PS, Xbox is going to show off their new console, leaving nobody to care about the rest and ignoring Sony.

Sony has been #2 compared to Microsoft for years and years. I doubt that will change anytime soon. But meh, I could be wrong.
