That's because the 07 version on PS3 was just a port of the PS2 version.

I'm sure it's just because of the cycle the PS4 launch fell in.
By the time all developers have a full cycle or a little more than a full cycle
things will seem right.

Maybe they release the PS3 version earlier than in past yrs and have PS4 version ready by opening day?

Sony's fiscal year ends on March 31.

Do you think there is pressure on SCEA to push back MLB 14 on next-gen so that they recognize sales of games and systems into Quarter 1 of their next year?

I'm not trying to start a conspiracy, but I can see from a business perspective that you would want to even out your earnings and this would be a good way to do so. Especially since we know that many people are buying a PS4 just so they can get The Show.

I would think they would want it to release the same fiscal year as when all the expenses were incurred developing it.

One reason not to have trailers or anything yet is because the PS4 version is likely not done. If they are wanting to put their best foot forward and have the trailer be for the PS4 version, then it makes sense to hold off on putting anything about the PS3 version out.

I still think the PS3 version will release, somewhat quietly, possibly, on March 4. I predict the PS4 version will release April 15.

I highly doubt that is the reason. They make trailers while the game is being built and in some cases it takes more than 1-2 months to make them. They are just on a schedule and sticking too it.
