I'm thinking the opposite, but then again you are a critic/cynic of 4th edition and I am a fan/optimist of it.
the PHB is fuller than ever with powers this time as all class get these neat things to do, now in the PHB there are 4/3 options at each level including paragon paths, while this is playable, I as well as many others would like even more options, which is what these complete power books will hopefully provide I imagine an extra 3-4 powers per level + 4-5 paragon paths and 4-8 epic destinies.
It seems also they are only releasing them when the Power Source has reached its full complement of classes, 4 from what I can see. This would leave me to believe the Divine Power coming out in autumm(fall)/Winter next year and the Primal Power coming out in spring next year, with the PHB 3 which will contain the Shadow and Psionic and hmm another source, with 4 of one source and 2 each of the other two leading to a Power book of one of those sources in autumn that year.
So I see the release list a bit like this (in terms of PHB's and Power books):
2008 Summer: PHB
2008 Autumn/winter: Martial Power
2009 Spring: PHB 2
2009 Summer:Arcane Power
2009 Autumn/winter: Divine Power
2010 Spring: PHB 3 [for Psionic, Shadow and Ki? heroes]
2010 Summer: Primal Power
2011 Autumn/winter: [Something Power] the source which has 4 classes from PHB 3
2012 Spring: PHB4
2013 Summer: [Something Power] one of the 2 sources which has 2 classes from PHB 3 and 4
2014 Autumn: [Something Power] the remaining of the 2 sources which has 2 classes from PHB 3 and 4
And yet another word from our sponsors
