Every new PS console launch spans these specious arguments on how they need to ditch the old and rush head long into the new ignoring the fact that the old console at this point is almost all profit and therefore would be a very bad business move for Sony.

It aint the WiiU , the Dreamcast or the original XBOX. The PS3 has 80 or so million current owners who are still invested in their console and when compared to the PS4 game for game the PS3 will sell more copies just based on the install base being 20x times that of the PS4. Not to mention all of those PS3 owners are possible future PS4 owners and just dropping support would alienate them big time especially since the PS4 has no B/C and it's just not feasible to just add B/C to the PS4.

Also, PS3 is NOT restricting sales of the PS4. Lack of availability is.
