Makes sense, they've already got huge install bases as is, so when people look to buy a new console it is unlikely to be last gen ones. |
I think their price still has a lot to do with it too. Unless you want a 12gb PS3 (no one) then you have to pay $270 for a new one. If you're saving up for that you may as well wait a little while longer and scrounge up the extra $130 for 10 more years of releases and current gen software support and obviously more power. They need to get under half the price of PS4 or people just won't see the point. Sony and MS have been riding that price for a long time but now is the time to get some back end sales. Unfortunately I'm not sure if Cell and other PS3 components have really come down that low for it to be profitable at that price but they could at least go to $200 considering an HDD can't make that big of a difference in manufacturing cost.
