The Mirror Opposite

So while Microsoft could be considered rushing release of the Xbox 360; which might cause consumers to spend money down the road when they are forced to purchase missing features. Sony might be pushing back the release date of the PS3 by a year so they can continue to ride the PS2 gravy train. Joy.

I'm torn whether or not this is a wise decision for Sony or not. On one hand, delaying might give Microsoft time to strengthen the consumer support for the Xbox 360 (something which current polls show to be lacking) and take away market share from the PS3. However, on the other hand it will give the market time to calm down after the release of the Xbox 360 and Revolution, giving people enough time to be willing to invest in a second (or third) next-gen console. You also need to wonder if the PS2 would continue to sell well with the Xbox 360 and Revolution already on the market.
