Umm... I Traded In My WiiU

Big mistake. The PS3 is a dead end system, after this year Sony will be focusing on the PS4. Once the PS4 releases, the trade-in value of a ps3 is going to drop like a rock. (Same thing for the 360 once the nextbox arrives.) The Wii U will still have decent trade-in value for a long time as it is Nintendo's current system.

If you would've waited you would have the option to get a PS4/Nextbox or if you still wanted a ps3 then you would get much more value for your money.

And you base your argument on what evidence? Did Sony set a precedent before? I’m sure they didn’t abandon the PS2 even after the PS3 was launched – unlike their competitors with their platforms. Your words are also contrary to Sony’s VP, Michael Denny.

 

PSB: Where does the PlayStation 4 announcement leave PlayStation 3?

JR: Typically history can help us only so far here. We’re actually still selling PS2s in regions such as the Middle East seven years after we introduced PS3. There are a number of reasons why the transition might be a bit more accelerated this time round, but PS3 is a very important part of our portfolio, certainly in 2013, 2014 and probably beyond that.

I’d point to the software line-up on PS3 that we have coming up – God of War: Ascension next month, The Last of Us, which is looking great, and Beyond later in the year. And there’s other stuff yet to be announced which is highly significant too. There’s a lot coming on PS3 and it’s going to be very important to us for some time yet.

 That doesn't suggest the system is at a 'dead end', now does it? It seems to me Sony is going to employ a multipronged strategy, so all systems will get decent support for some time.
