Sony will let Microsoft releases the Xbox first

New Xbox and PlayStation are underway. The big question is: which of the two will be released first? Will the PlayStation 4 (codenamed "Orbis") or the Xbox 720 (codenamed "Durango")? According to a review of the Sony CEO Kaz Hirai, the new console will not be the first to be released, and seems to leave that honor to the Xbox.

Except for the PS1, Sony has always chosen to sit and wait. The PS2 came out almost two years after the Dreamcast, and the PS3 a year later than the Xbox 360. I just hope they do not have to wait that long to test the future PS4.

When asked about the launch, Hirai said "Why competition ahead when you can see your specifications and then release something better?". Clearly Hirai afraid that Microsoft achieved a better console launch the PS4 if they rush it out to the market too.

How much do you expect Sony to launch its PS4? If things continue at this rate, you may not see it on sale until 2014.
