no need for a PS4?

PS4 will be out when the time is right. PS3 has got a alot of life left in it considering few third party developers have even bothered taking advantage of its abilities over the other 2 machines. There would need to be a significant technical leap as we saw betwen ps1 and ps2 and ps3. Programmers will aso need to be able to program for what is likely to be a seriously powerful machine and many of them ate still catching up on this generation. I would expect Microsoft to rush out a new console in a couple of years time to try and get a head-start again but Sony have shown that a patient approach can shine through in the end.

how?  by being last in sales and profitability?

It amazes me how people actually believe that this strategy is some genius master plan that will pay off in the end.

I was actually talking about quality of games which seems to be getting little coverage compared to sales this generation. Anyway i will indulge you.

Unless you have been ignoring sales figures over the last 8 months you will see how well the PS3 is selling in cmparison with the year preceeding it. You would also be very brave to bet that 360 will be ahead of PS3 at the end of this generation which has at least 5 years to run. The trends in Europe and Japan have given a momentum that looks set to run and run. And the fact that PS3 has outsold 360 since launch does not really tally with the doom and gloom you try and paint in your post.
