To be honest, I am still surprised PS3 and 360 are getting peak sales. I feel all the great games have seen enough iterations, but kudos to Sony for annoucing The Last of Us. That looks to be a great new IP.
I think PS4 and NextBox will announce this E3. Wii U is coming in fall 2012, they can't have no replacement console announced when it launches.
I know more games will come on PS3, but I don't think we will see anything spectacular like Uncharted or GT. Yess TLoU is Naughty Dog, but it;s by their second internal party, and this is that party's first game. I think it will be great, but like many PS3 exclusives, sales probably won't be too spectacular. I'd predict 3-4 million, above the Killzones, but below Uncharted 2 and likely 3.
Like I said before, I think Sony will be releasing a lot of new IP's on the 360, leaving nearly all the established brands for early releases on PS4. The only established brand I see which could possibly come back to PS3 is Killzone.

I don't think gaming will be based around the old generation lines. Sony and Microsoft can squeeze more at of their current systems. Nintendo can't keep pushing the Wii. They have to launch a new system and hopefully keep as many of those consumers as they can.
Look at Kinect and Move. They are both doing very well because it's capturing the people who are in the Wii's market. If the Wii U can't outperform the PS3 and/or 360 in terms of gameplay performance (online has to be there for the Wii U, without it they won't match the sales that the Wii managed).
Sony is constantly announcing brand new IP's. It doesn't matter where we are in their system's life. When a concept is create and gets the green light. The game gets made. Simple as that. God of War was released in 2005, PS3 launched in 2006. I believe that The Last of Us will release in 2012 and then in late 2013 Sony will launch PS4. But also think about what has happened in the last week since The Last of Us was announced.
Sony has not let up with the information coming out about the game. I believe Sony will heavily advertise TLoU.

I know, PS360 have the potential to go forward. There is no garentee that 2012 will even show a drop in sales, they could easily cut the price, and there are rumours of a PS3 Slim 2.0. I always think the gen is ending, and I'm usually wrong about it so :P.
At least we agree PS4 in 2013 fall, and yes Sony couldannounce a new IP, or even make The Last of Us 2 for PS3 release in 2014 like they did with GoW. However I hope the GT is new and freh for PS3 instead of a latecomer for PS3.
and I don't have cable, so I dunno how much any game is advertized, but I bet TLoU will see as strong advertizing as Uncharted.

I fully support Andrew House taking over the PlayStation branch, because Europe is getting it right on so many levels. Japan has weakened (in the western eyes that is) and I've been a vocal opponent of Jack Tretton and his leadership of the American branch. Because of House taking over the entire branch means that Sony is making the moves that are needed to return to the top.
That's why The Last of Us seems to be following more of a PS2 era title. Something that Sony appears to be throwing great support behind despite the age of the system. I hope the PS4 has a similar design plan like the PS3 had.
But looking at the PlayStation platforms. PS1 was revolutionary. PS2 was evolutionary. PS3 is revolutionary. PS4 will be evolutionary. PSP was revolutionary (but misguided which forced Sony to make) Vita revolutionary.
