Nah no need
Nothing can stop the PS4 - People buy the PS3 cause there are still coming a few games for it cause Sony loves to support its community while they can't get a PS4 right now cause there aren't any available or for others reasons.

So PS3 isn't cutting into its sales cause the PS4 sells out anyway all the time

that just doesn't make much business since. Maybe in five years when alot more people have gone next gen,then it would make more sense. Why kill a money maker?

IMO PS3 should make the most profit it could make,it hasn't exactly been the most profitable console for Sony.

I feel pretty special now.

But seriously, well done sir. People still not realising it, it seems.

But it's right behind the XBone and way above the 360 in sales (this week). 360 is still being supported. And to come close to a next gen console...how is it "dying a fast death"?

What do you consider "massive" sales? Because in the middle of the gen when 360 and PS3 were catching their strides, anywhere from 100-120K was a typical sales week. 90K isn't that far behind, so I don't see how it's "dying". Especially coming off a great holiday season

why ? every ps3 sold it profit for sony.

Just you. They aren't competing. Right now, PS4 is being acquired by early adopters, people who put more money on gaming. These kind of people already have a PS3, 360 or both (and maybe a Wii). PS3 now will sell to people that doesn't have money to buy a PS3 and 3rd world countries.

In Brazil a PS3 costs US$ 500. In Argentina it's even more expensive. People in these countries are planning on getting a PS3 or a 360, they don't even think about a One or PS4 because of the costs. PS1 sold 25M+ units of the redesigned PSOne model (launched in 2000). PS2 sold 40~50M units during PS3 run. PS3 will sell 20~30M more units in the next 6 or 7 years before being discontinued, with low production costs and a decent profit margin.

The biggest thing that is hurting PS4 sales is lack of availibility. Quick look at Bestbuy and Amazon shows still sold out. If anything MS should kill the 360, XB1s are sitting on store shelves (and being shipped back in many cases) and the 360 is still selling well.

I dont see them killing the PS3 until they get the PS4 down under 300 dollars(at least 2 years).

Sony has already killed it as far as they are concerned in terms of software.

They cant move third party projects or say no to making money, it would be insane.

I know PS4 is having a drought, just like EVERY console during the first year. Just deal with it. Its the price to pay for beeing an early adopter.

Also cutting PS3 sales doesnt necessarily mean they would pass onto PS4. That is a severely flawed logic.

It will last for two more years at the least like very other PS console
