Following hot on the heels of a report that the new Xbox will be available before Christmas 2013, another report (from the same source - VG247) has outlined Sony's intention to get their next console - the PlayStation 4/Orbis - to market before Microsoft's new console.
VG247's source said: "Sony are completely in the belief that they have the jump on Microsoft this time. You should be watching the timing of next year's E3 keynotes, and who's going to go first."
Their source explained further: "Top line publishers already know about it. Developers working with publishers - like Ubisoft, for example - already know what's going on. They're already working on it."
