| mike_intellivision said: Using the PS2 post-PS3 launch as the model for PS3 post-PS4 launch has two issues: 1. PS3 was not the dominant console of its generation. 2. The global economy (ranging from Yen valuation, Global recession, and emerging markets wanting current goods). The Wii might be able to get there, but even that is uncertain. The PS3 will NOT.

1. True, but you are talking past tense.
2. Yen valuation is a two-way street, affecting for better or worse sales and profitability. In fact a weaker yen will likely encourage lower prices for PS3 elsewhere which should increase global sales.
Global recession has not affected poorer capitalist economies the same; technically they're not in recession- just experiencing slowdown.
True, emerging markets are showing preference for current goods. Good news for PS3 then, as can't see why sony will rush PS4- not before Q4 2014 at earliest.
