Big game (AAA) releases do NOT mean a next gen console is or is not coming!

To me it's all about money, they haven't recouped their investment yet (and probably won't ever in the case of Sony). So they have to stay a few more years in the market to earn some more bucks.

Just because PS4 launches, it doesn't mean PS3 stops selling or being profitable.

A PS3 at $99 to $149 in late 2013 will still be selling in the millions per year and profitable. While I'm sure Sony expect 150m+ sales of PS3 originally, selling 80m over its lifetime and ensuring bluray's success still means its job is done.

Sacrificing future marketshare for the single item would be far worse than having an overall lifetime loss on one item.

I'd love to see where you got that one from
