For the short term, yes, though only slightly. In the long term, those who buy a PS3 and are happy with it are going to more likely to eventually buy a PS4. Besides, most people don't purchase a console close to launch, anyway, but instead wait until it builds up critical mass.


This is very true.

 

Myself for instance, I am a nintendo-oriented gamer but decided late last year to pick up either a PS3 or 360 so that I could go back and play the few games not avialable on the Wii for Gen 7 that interested me. Sony convinced me to get a PS3 (for several reasons but I won't go into that here) and I've been fairly happy with my purchase. Several more years of support for the PS3 while the more 'core' Sony fans get the PS4 going and I could see me picking up a PS4 later in its life after the PS3 is discontinued and the PS4 is ~$250
