After Microsft releases their next system, and Nintendo releases the Wii U, there will only be a limited time where the PS3 is viable as a platform for game development. Essentially, third party publishers need to release their games to the PS3, XBox 360 and PC to get the sales to justify the high development costs of these games. While developers will continue to support the HD consoles until the next generation platforms are well established, if the Wii U and Next XBox have similar enough performance and developers can target the PC at the same time within 12 to 18 months developers may be able to target 50+ Million gamers on next-generation consoles; and with the userbase of current generation consoles falling, developers would rapidly be moving away from these platforms.
