I'm not so sure. The Show and its reputation made it a system seller. With all the troubles people have had with Madden (EA holding back info then a disappointing game) and NBA (2K & EA holding back info then disappointing games), the lack of info may make non baseball fans who just like a great video game not buy. If they would have came out with some PS4 info, that may have persuaded many PS3 owners to make the jump to the PS4 this year, rather than next. 2K had built up a lot of respect for how they improved their NBA game over the last generation, close to SCEA territory to be honest, and look at how what happened. I think that's why you have half the people worried and the other half blindly following SCEA (because they earned that kind of respect).
More of a head scratcher with their strategy is not releasing any PS3 info on the game. That version has to be near complete since it didn't have to be rebuilt like the PS4 did. Yesterday or today are such quiet sports days that it would have made the most sense to release info. Olympics start tomorrow, draft combine is right after the Olympics, March Madness after the combine, then the NFL draft. Unfortunately, baseball tends to get forgotten about and maybe a trailer would build some momentum into Spring Training.
More info will be released soon enough, whether its PS3 or PS4 related, or both. The world will rejoice and all will be forgotten/forgiven! (except the true fence purchasers, Madden & NBA2k will be in the back of their minds)
