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. |
let's say that these developers do move away from the hd consoles
ps3 will still have the Vita keeping it alive for A LONG time because soon many PSVita games will be shared with ps3 with that cross platform play thing or whatever it's called
AND
the Wii U technology wont be that much bigger than ps3's. you can even see that all Wii U will be getting are ps3 and 360 games/slightly upgraded ports so when the new generation kicks this 1 out the door ps3 could also still be filled with life because it wouldn't take much time to make a Wii U game for the ps3 :)
ps3 isn't going anywhere anytime soon next gen ;)

I have doubts that the PS-Vita will do for the PS3 what the PSP didn't do for the Wii ... Whether they have similar processing power capabilities or not, developers don't (seem to) treat handheld systems and portable systems in the same way; and tend not to release the same games for both platforms.
Beyond that, we really don't know much about what the Wii U is but the rumoured base hardware has been demonstrated to be (roughly) 4 times as graphically powerful as the PS3 on the PC. Typically, with the reduction in overhead and with developers targeting specific hardware, console hardware generally performs significantly better than the same hardware in the PC; and it is highly likely that Nintendo has modified the hardware to reduce bottlenecks and improve real-world performace. Overall, I would be surprised if the Wii U is not as far ahead of the PS3 as the PS3 was above the Wii; and I suspect that third party publishers will be able to target it along side other next-generation consoles (possibly with minor downgrades).

lol yea you do know that that is EXACTLY what sony is aiming for with psvita right? have you watched sony 2011 E3 press conference?
yea but they should still be able to make ps3 version's of Wii U games like the way they have basically already confirmed for the launch titles of the Wii U.
That's all im worried about :)
