So, people are waiting for the PS4 to be released to stop buying the PS3? It's not like they can wait 5 months or anything, right?

I also said nothing like that. Read what I type, then respond.

 

Just google PS4 + Bill of Materials. It's that simple. Also, $38-$50 for a 500GB HDD? Allow me to be skeptic.

The PS4 reveal trailer has 29M views on youtube. It's been advertised during the Champions League final which was viewed by 360,000,000 people. It's been covered in mainstream media outlet and you're saying that people don't know that the PS4 is coming?

PS consoles have long lives and that's a fact.
