Also I'm really curious about what will happen when Microsoft launches its new console not one but say 3 year ahead of PS4.
If their console is better specced than the PS3 would be at the time it will be more expensive. The PS3 will have a great install base advantage, probably a pricing advantage (unless they try a Wii stunt) as well as a much bigger games library.
A high end 100% PS3 compatible PS4 can co-exist with a cheap slimline PS3. It would be a bit like a slower selling XBox 360 Elite existing next to lower specced 360s.
