But the PS3 had record worldwide sales in 2011, it's still going strong.

It had a measly 1% increase YoY in 2011. 2010 was its last large increase. This year it will drop YoY as will 360.

Measly yes, but an increase it is. It's still got millions in it. 

When the PS3 and 360 start dropping like the Wii, then we can ring in the next gen quite happily. 

Next gen has started already.

By holiday 2013 they will all be out.

Dev kits are finalized (except maybe PS4 is still non-final kit, but it exists none-the-less) and devs all have new engines done or in work.

imo thats a funny thing to say seeing as how major games and announcements are still coming to light for the 360 and ps3 daily ( just today god of war 4 and halo 4's release date have been revealed )

while all we have to go on for their successors are unsubstantiated rumours that vary in terms of their claims from day to day
