low end buyers (more casual audience or people with less money) buy the old one and get their cheap old games for it. Hardcore or more enthusiastic audience buys the new system. They make money no matter which sells. Kinda like how Sony could've cut PS3 support off this Summer but is instead releasing LoU, Puppeteer, Beyond, and GT6 before or around PS4 launch. They make money on those games and they make money selling PS3s. The people who've had PS3 for 7 years (like me by this Summer) will be ready for next gen and just play on both for awhile.
