Eeeerrr Sony haven't plugged the pull of PS4 yet... hell they even put an update for the PS3 FW this or last month, and backed up from closing the store. They will be releasing crossgen first party titles in 2022 (GT7 and GoW Ragnarok) and we will see third party titles for even longer.

Yeah, but in May-June 2014, the PS3 was selling 45-50k per week on VGChartz.  Right now the PS4 is down at 31k.  Keep in mind that the PS3 was considered as being a failure for Sony.  Unless Sony is going to announce another price-cut for the PS4, I don't see this trajectory changing much.  Honestly, if the PS4 was going to get another price-cut, then it should have had it already.

At this point who decides how much a console sells and stop being supported is the customers not platform maker.

Sony sure could cut the price, but the added sales with a lower price wouldn't bring additional profit, some time ago I've done a good analysis on cutting 100USD to sell 10M more consoles and the numbers didn't match.
