who knows...sure it wasn't their plan some years ago but maybe the time has come they realized that they are good in making games and maybe it is better for them just developing games for other consoles and working together with gaikai or what the name is. yes, many don't have fast enough internet, me included, but better half the amount of possible customers and profiting as double the amount and losing money.

not releasing a ps4 could mean few years longer lifetime for ps3 as we all believe and they can invent gaikia to get people used to it and then in some years they will go full 3rd party.

I really don't see them going third party. Not with the market the way it is now.

They would lose out on hundreds of millions in royalties, online subsciption fees and sales of excessories. The PS3 has, despite it's poor beginning, put them in a much better position to tackle the next generation. They've created  an online network that has gone through it's teething phase, strengthened their first party studios, increased their IP portfolio and increased communication links with their customers.

Sony controlled the market for about 12 years, if they insist on keeping a flailing money-losing tv division afloat,  PS hardware is unlikely to go anywhere.

maybe i didn't say what i mean. i meant that sony could buy gaikai or get a part of their income and then they make money with this as well.
