"Sony has claimed that it is under &amp;quot;less pressure&amp;quot; than its rivals to announce its next-generation hardware. Sony&amp;#039;s Philippe Cardone admitted that the firm would probably be last to announce something, reports CVG. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s true that there are many rumours, but I couldn&amp;#039;t tell you anything,&amp;quot; Cardone said. &amp;quot;The Wii is pressed for time because it is in decline. In our case, we have a lot less pressure. We were the last to leave the PS3, we will probably be the last to announce something.&amp;quot; Sony has already confirmed that the PS4 will not be announced at this year&amp;#039;s E3 event in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, an analyst has suggested that Sony will release its new console before Microsoft, but won&amp;#039;t launch until 2014. Sony will, however, launch its brand new PS Vita handheld device on February 22, 2012 in North America, Europe, Australia and Latin America.
