How much does next gen hype kill game hype for current gen?

I've seen a lot of people saying the Feb. 20th PS4 announcment (hopefully) will kill sales/hype for GoW, Beyond, LoU, Puppeteer, etc.

In your experience (I wasn't around for the last home console launches of Sony and MS) how does this effect sales?  GoW will be fine I'm sure as GoW2 did fine on PS2 well after PS3 was out, let alone released so I don't see it as much of a factor for a big game, but how will smaller games fare?  Is there any history to look at here?

Last of Us and Beyond will be fine, these are titles that most of gamer have being dreaming about for a long time now. I predict 4 million lifetime for Last of Us and 1,5 million to Beyond.

Puppeteer is pretty much fucked.

same diagnosis for Rain I suppose then?
