Sony Talks About PS3 LifeCycle After PS4 Launch: "It Won't Last Long As PS2 Did After PS3 Launch"

Personally, i hope Sony will ditch it as soon as possible. 2016 is a good time to do that. Leave the era of shame quickly behind and concentrate all the mass on the one plattform.

Ps2 had to continue because for some periods it was even outselling ps3! Ps4 being as successful as it is theres no need to keep last gen around for that long.

 

But I also think ps3 is something to be proud! It was the biggest comeback in gaming history! It was able to come from the bottom and rise till a great second spot.

 

Exactly my thoughts. That's why they won't lower the price for the PS3. There is no need to. Sony rather wants the customer to buy the new plattform. For the one obvious reason that the consumer feels compelled to get a PSN+ subscribtion due to online gaming, thus pushing the in-advance revenue business model. And it seems to pay of. For the company and... for the players. (yes i said it)

Next year will be splendid. And there is more to come. TGS took me by surprise and two more events this year. Talks about the yet unknown bend project grow.

Another reason, is another plattform - so to say. PS4 is the soil on which Playstation VR will have to prosper. Not PS3.
