the ps3 did 7.9mill it's first year (2007) the ps4 is coming with more hype, cheaper and with a weaker competition worst case the ps4 does around 8mill first year. Now ask yourself this do you really see the PS3 selling more than 8mill in 2014???? |
Yes. Most PS3 games will be cheap then and for many people "good enough". The console will probably get another price cut.
If you want to play PS3 games, the PS3 is your only option, because the PS4 is not compatible. If your old PS3 breaks down and you have a huge game collection for it, you will want to replace it.
The PS2 was sold 14 million times 2007 and 2008 each, even when people had the option to buy a PS3 with PS2-compatibility: http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/PlayStation_2
