I don't think so. The way I see it these games are releasing early for a reason.  If they didn't have big plans for later on they'd leave at least one, probably TLOU, for november. GOW should sell regardless of a new console and TLOU/Beyond/Sly aren't likely to do GOW-like numbers anyway, and we don't know what kind of legs they have. PS4 release wouldn't really be that detrimental to their performances. Even less so when you consider the what the Gaikai aquisition could mean; I think we'll see the PS3 library cross over to PS4 through a streaming service, so TLOU, Sly 4 etc. could easily be avaliable on the PS4 at its launch.

 

God of War is a fair point, I forgot GoW2 released after the PS3 had released worldwide and still managed okay sales.  Still the lowest of the trilogy though!

And while it's true that we've got dates for Sly and God of War early next year, I believe there's still nothing concrete for Beyond/The Last of Us, which could theoretically be subject to delays towards the end of the year.

You're right about Gaikai too, but I don't really know enough details about how that would work.  How would they get a system going where if you bought a boxed copy of the game, you'd be able to play that on PS4?

As a final aside, what do you think about Versus XIII?  I know you might not be following it too closely or anything, but it's genuinely my most anticipated game at this point.  PS3, PS4, Wii-U(?) or cancelled altogether?
