Sony said this year they will continue to support the PS3 "for years to come".
This is a good way of keeping a stronger brand, as it's a way to go for a lot of people without the money to jump into a 8th gen console, what they need is to do a nice price cut on it and keep it there.

THIS.

giving the console such a long support for so many years is great for the brand, it surely gives me confidence when buying a PS that even the PS3 (the black ship of the PS console family) was strongly supported for such a long generation and its services (including FREE online) remained active for years after the gen ended, not to mention it still being supported by some 3rd parties not just with multiplats but exclusives as well.

I specified they would still produce and sell PS3s. Did people not read the OP?

I was just saying they should make the PS4 so compelling that people would upgrade en masse. CoD is the best franchise to do this with.

Again there is a big difference between Sony compelling consumers to upgrade, than to force them by stopping support for the PS3.
