Its Time. Sony will put GEN 7 out of its misery this fall.

Its time for Sony to kill off GEN 7.

1. PS3s dont generate the profit margin that the PS4 does because of the free online.

2. PS4 is doing quite well, Sony should target their faithful, but slow adopters before the competition does something too.

 

Here is what they need to do. 349.99 COD BO III bundle. Bam. Not with some free digital download either, the physical game. My theory is slow adopters would be less enticed by a digital game because if they were into digital they would be more likely to have already upgraded.

Now I also think that they should do a Star Wars bundle too, but to me that would target a different segmant of gamers, and people who are casual gamers but love Star Wars and will buy a PS4 because they are caught up in the hype for The Force Awakens.

Will the PS3 still sell after this fall? Yes of course. But it will be on its death bed with many buying replacement consoles, or parents buying their kid their 1st console and aren't willing to pay over 300 bucks yet (Which is exactly what happened to me in 1992 when my parents finally got me a NES).

 

Edit- Please note I mentioned nothing about them discontinueing, or stopping support for the PS3. It seems most of the people who read this got that impression. I am just saying they should give consumers a strong incentive to upgrade, and I gave a method I think would work well.
