@Sevenizz I'm just referring to the stages. Both platforms are currently in development (or so we think), so I was just considering a sooner move to the marketing stage. We don't know how far along the platforms are, so if Sony suddenly released a countdown to the PS4, I can guarantee you MS would be caught off guard.

Or maybe Sony is just saying that to throw Microsoft off. Microsoft would think they have a lot more time, giving the PS4 a huge head-start.
