Would you look at that comment section  it reminds me of SE's official blog when SE announced that they wouldn't update the X10's OS version any further originally. Looking further into those comments, seems some have started a petition even, geez, with every Sony/SE flagship there seems to be some sort of petition WRT Updates and faults going all the way back to the days of  P990/M600/W950.

And please don't even dare to tell me that the quad-core processors are overhyped! Weren't you the one, who used to tell us an year ago that dual-core processors were overhyped? And it suddenly turned out that they're requirement for the next version of Android. Not only that, but I remember SE saying that they've optimized the OS so well that it runs as good on their single-core phones as on competitors' dual-core. But what happened now? Not only they're not as powerful as competitors' dual-core phones, but they're not even powerful enough to run Android 4 properly. Or at least Sony says so. Did any other brand come with similar statement? Clear example - HTC Sensation or Galaxy S2, for example, compared to Arc S. So Arc and Arc S' purchasers were screwed. I see the same thing happening next year with Android 5, with the Xperia S, Ion, Mint and so on...
Just a quote from a post I wrote on 15 July 2012. Look at my last sentence - it seems my predictions for the future are even more correct than randomuser's back then.  Lets make a quick summary:
In 2011 SE used very powerful single-core processors, almost on par with the "overhyped" dual-core processors in Samsung, HTC and LG's flagships. But then it turned out only the "overhyped" dual-core processors are the one running ICS fine, unlike SE's really powerful single-core processors. That was one of the major excuses for Sony's shitty ICS updates. Of course, no one of you fan boys admitted Sony's failure.
In 2012 Sony used very powerful dual-core processors, almost on par with the "overhyped" quad-core processors in Samsung, HTC and LG's flagships. But then it turned out only the "overhyped" quad-core processors are the one running JB 4.2 fine, unlike Sony's really powerful dual-core processors ( this time no drivers from Qualcomm, because these processors seem to be really outdated ). That's one of the major excuses for Sony not to provide 4.2 for your 2012 Xperias. Of course, once again, no one of you fan boys admits Sony's failure.
Is that a deja-vu? How can you convince me that this year something's gonna change?
EDIT: I wrote Android 5, because back then no one really knew which the next Android version is gonna be. Anyway, I was referring to the one, announced in October, a.k.a JB 4.2.

Can't be due to CPU, the US Samsung GS2s all use the same Snapdragon S3 CPU as Xperia S, except for the AT&T I777, and many of them such as the GS2 AT&T Skyrocket and T-Mobile i989 have received JB.

Let's face it, it's Sony's way of getting out of supporting their devices, blame it on the cpu for sub standard updates and then discontinue support forcing people to upgrade or buy another phone if they want the latest android experience

Yep. I'm not 100% sure whether this information is 100% correct, but I remember someone here blamed Qualcomm for not releasing JB 4.2 drivers for S3 processors. Unfortunately I can't find the exact statement, but I was shocked when I read it. This situation is very similar to last year's case when HTC Desire C with its 600mhz processor and Sense UI was running ICS smoother than Arc S with its 1.4ghz processor.
