- Help the PS3 have strong legs into next gen, like PS2 did into this gen .
- Establish an IP on this healthy system with a 70m + userbase, and then take that established IP over to the PS4.
- Lower risk releasing on PS3 (development is cheaper, userbase is much larger). Simple cost-benefit analysis here.
- Simply not needed for PS4, already have a jam packed launch window lineup (this one's more wishful thinking)

Any one, or a combination of those factors.
