Don't forget that the PS3 original models are fairly fragile and a lot of purchases could be people replacing their dead or dying system. Anecdotal but all of my PS3 owner friends including myself have repurchased a PS3 at least once.
This is also a reason why I don't think PS4 will outsell PS3. So few rebuys as the original console seems to run so flawlessly.
