I take the lack of news to be bad news. If they had a customer-friendly plan for this, they would've announced that plan proudly. Being opaque about the details strongly implies that those details are not going to make good press for them.
You are, of course, entitled to your cynicism, but they've announced the existence of the console, the next version of Kinect, and what it looks like, and generated thirty stories on Hacker News alone, and taken over every console gaming site for the last day. Neither they nor Sony announce everything at once.
