There is no need for Sony to release a new console if ps3 can compete with a "next" gen console

I never expected that when I paid 650euro for a 2007 60gb ps3


I won't be able to. Just as others said right about you, just because the tech isn'to 10x more powerful doesn't mean the feature set isn't.

Once Retro or a 3rd party or a 3D Nintendo game are released and built using Wii U to a great extent you'll see it trounce anything on PS360. So far all you have are 3rd party ports that were built with last gen features.

Sony will re-release PS3 with the super-slim, i dont see them being in a hurry of putting a PS4 in the market. Its clear that they'll try to go head to head with WiiU. Of course there is no denying that WiiU is the most powerfull of the two but up until we see a game using Wii U to a great extent (as you said) 1-2 years will pass...then PS3 becomes irrelevant and PS4 comes in the market. This is how i see it

PS3 regardless of size is still a PS3. It won't compete with next-gen tech once the next-gen games start flowing. Hence the reason its YoY sales are down double digits this year.

neXtBox and PS4 will be out next year and will have a minor jump over Wii U. The new tech will mostly incorporate a ton of new graphical and other features that will make it all look so much better as well as allow newer game ideas to flourish.

There is a reason a game like Watch Dogs has no consoles linked to it, they didn't want to give away anything and were bound by NDAs. They'll wait for Sony and MS to release their news and then say its for all three next gen systems. They also don't want to sound like its exclusive to Wii U... hence why they just don't announce anything.
