Well basically he says that there's no point in rushing.However I'm not that sure that Sony is doing the right thing, they already did the same with PS3 and I think they lost more than gained, Nintendo's console already in stores and if MS will release before Sony nobody can be sure that the same story won't happen again.Why go first, when your competitors can look at your specifications and come up with something better?Kazuo HiraiWith Nintendo already out the next-gen blocks with the Wii U, can Sony hold its bottle until the Microsoft announces? Surely his comments are slightly disingenuous, since there would be relatively little scope for changing the specs of the PlayStation this late in its development cycle.Last week was a speculation rich week for the PlayStation 4, with reports that Sony will retire the DualShock controller.http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/01/21/ps4-sony-will-let-microsoft-make-first-move

I will agree with Mr Hirai only if :-

1) PS4's hardware specs are eventually considerably better than its competitors and not equal/slightly better

2) PS4 releases within 6 months after its main competitor (Next Xbox) considering WiiU is already available..

3) PS4 is released at a reasonable price (not $200+ more than its competitors)

4) Sony makes sure PSN & PSn+ are ready from the start and offer more content, more features & services compared to competition. (While keeping online gaming free)

5) The launch line-up of games is amazing.. (4-5 amazing exclusives + great multiplats versions of games available from the start)

Unless the above are met, I believe Sony will once again be in a difficult position and play catch-up which I believe they cannot afford..
