It has already been out for over 7 years. The sales will continue to decline "naturally" as people move on to the next generation. There's no reason to kill it now just for the sake of doing so. I think Sony already made it pretty clear that their first-party studios have all moved on. I remember reading somewhere that GT6 was the last first-party title releasing for the PS3. So they're not being bogged down in game development for the PS4 thanks to the PS3 and sales of the PS4 are cleary not being affected by PS3 sales in a way that would warrant Sony going into a panic and pulling the plug on their old console. Sony didn't kill the PS2 until 2013. Expect them to continue selling the PS3 into 2016 and possibly beyond.
