I put my money on:
CES: Tablet Z1
MWC: Z2 (with recent rumored specs, 5.2 inch IPS LCD from Sharp or LG, etc)
July, own show (same as Z Ultra announcement time): Z2 Ultra (with JDI 6.2 inch display)
IFA: Z3 (with 64 bit, JDI WRBG OLED 5.2 inch)
and let's not forget the mini version, same announcement time as this year, first in japan, then international.

^ That's probably how I'd imagine it to be, along with a few other surprise announcements. I think they should broaden their tablet range and introduce smaller versions of the Xperia tablet.

They need to produce a 7" and an 8" tablet that would compete with the price of the iPad mini or even the Nexus tablets. The Tablet Z was nicely specced but the price is too high for a tablet. Face it, tablets are never meant to compete with laptops. The Tablet Z is priced the same as some mid-range laptops, so why spend money on something less capable unless you have the luxury.

Simply can't compete with the Nexus 7 on a price front. Not a chance. May as well stick to the larger, high-margin side of the tablet sector.

Agreed on the screen size. i think that such device will fit for CES announcement.

Portability is a big factor.
Are there any laptops as light and thin as the Tablet Z with a similar sized screen and battery life? I doubt it.
As for the price, well it's a luxury item but I've seen it on Google Shopping for £340 for the cheapest version. Making it not much more expensive than a good mid-range mobile phone.
If, there is a Tablet Z1 then this would be even thinner and lighter.

@XYZ Well, they're not going anywhere with their premium priced tablets. We all know the Nexii's prices are subsidized by Google, but only on some region. Here, where it's not subsidized, the current Nexus 7 is around 300-350 USD which is a little below the last gen iPad mini. For a well-specced tablet and compared to less capable budget tablets like Samsung's, it's very competitively priced. But I doubt Sony could do that right now, considering their current status.
As for their new flagship not being announced on CES, I guess they are waiting for the new gen Snapdragons just like what Samsung and HTC did this year.

In that case, they need to make their tablets seem really desirable. And not in the standard way. It needs to be something that makes people salivate by looking at it. Y'know? Something that invokes the Sony of the past, that was king of the electronics industry, something that's irresistible.

That could be the premium one. Then, there should be a budget one, like Xperia U and P to Xperia S. That's a good example since U and P sold well, especially U. Less specced, probably cut off the water and dust resistance, dumb down the camera or no camera at all (sorry, tablet "photographers"), or a fatter body. They just need an entry to the mini tablet war.
