Er, you do know Smash Bros, Mario Kart, 3D Mario, Zelda, Monster Hunter, Yoshi, Dragon Quest, X and many more coming right? I mean sure if those games aren't your cup of tea I get it but, may I ask then why you even bothered buying one in the first place? I mean did you expect it to have Killzone 4 or something?

Sounds like you need to be a little less impulsive with your purchases..

And you base your argument on what evidence? Did Sony set a precedent before? I’m sure they didn’t abandon the PS2 even after the PS3 was launched – unlike their competitors with their platforms. Your words are also contrary to Sony’s VP, Michael Denny.

PSB: Where does the PlayStation 4 announcement leave PlayStation 3?

JR: Typically history can help us only so far here. We’re actually still selling PS2s in regions such as the Middle East seven years after we introduced PS3. There are a number of reasons why the transition might be a bit more accelerated this time round, but PS3 is a very important part of our portfolio, certainly in 2013, 2014 and probably beyond that.

I’d point to the software line-up on PS3 that we have coming up – God of War: Ascension next month, The Last of Us, which is looking great, and Beyond later in the year. And there’s other stuff yet to be announced which is highly significant too. There’s a lot coming on PS3 and it’s going to be very important to us for some time yet.

 That doesn't suggest the system is at a 'dead end', now does it? It seems to me Sony is going to employ a multipronged strategy, so all systems will get decent support for some time.

you will be buying a wii u in 2 years i can garuntee it.

Exactly what I was thinking, he held out through the drought just to sell it once the water came.  Very confusing decision and yes, you will regret it.

huge mistake. What console gets any good games within the first few months?!?! What are you going to do when the next Mario Galaxy, Donkey Kong Country or Metroid come out? Just ignore em?

Hilarious!  Nintendo already got your money!.. you might aswell have kept something of theirs.. and so if later down the track you buy another wiiU.. it be a double combo punch from Nintendo

.. and PS3 will be even cheaper later in the year... yeh your actions are not wrong at all! good job!

I'm the exact opposite ha.. Could be because I'm pretty poor right now, but I cannot sell all my old games fast enough. Thanks to amazon, I've probably made in the ballpark of $3,000 off old games and consoles, 99% of which would have been sitting around gathering dust and never played again anyway. Might as well use that money to buy NEW games that I actually play. I guess I get the collectors mentality,  but I have a pretty nice shot glass collection to fill that need heh.

But what if he wants to play some games now?

After all, that's what a console is for

Exactly what I was going to say. Although I have the WiiU, but I was because I expected to get MH3U and plan to do it later the month. That will keep my WiiU busy. I also agree about the PS3.

LOL. The magic feat of patience would have saved you a lot of money.
