This was the longest gen in the history of genz evar! The consoles are getting more focus from the media too, it's different. The PS3 can't drop it's price as far as the PS2, the hardware is still too expensive.


This is the longest gen in the hostory of gens and yet the PS3 is still selling really well. It sold 97% of what the 3DS sold this year according to VGChartz. Also, don't bet on the PS3 being $270 forever.

I didn't. For $120 more though, I'd buy a PS4, wouldn't you?


$130 is a big difference. Also, that difference is much bigger in other countries. It's $270 in Australia.

Not going to happen. Ironically, the PS4 launching at $399 is the main reason why the PS3 will not beat the Wii out for first place. The WiiU and X1 are also massive factors.


So, we are going to assume that the PS3 price is never going to drop? And we're also going to assume that a $130 price difference is negligible? Finally, we are going to assume that the price difference between the PS3 and PS4 is $130 in every country in the world?

Edit: The PS2 launched at $299 and yet the PS1 went on to sell 25M units more.

I think your being very hopeful. I do not see it happening.  People are going to hold off for the next console. Plus I'm betting xbox 360 will drop price in the fall.


People didn't hold off for the PS2 and they didn't hold off for the PS3, and judging by the current PS3 sales, they aren't really holding off for the PS4.

However. Sony is getting some hate because of the MP fee.
Ignorant bastards... I say you will get 4free games a month. 'only old games bla bla' Oh yeah because Hitman: absolution and sleeping dogs etc etc are that old. Fools I say!

To be fair, it's only a minority that are vocal.

PS+ is still good value. They just beat the crap outof Xbox LIVE so many times... They know they'll look like hypocrites. There were 20 threads a day at one point.

$130 for a next gen console is not a big difference at all! I'm in Australia... $270? Which SKU? The 12gb? Some are only $150 in difference... Only a fool would buy the PS3 for the small amount compared to the hardware you'd be getting. PS4 is selling with a loss, not a huge one but it's at least decent in size meanwhile the PS3 is not. 400-500 in tech, at wholesale prices against the PS3? LOL

The choice is obvious.

The 320GB PS3 is $278 vs $549 for the PS4. Say what you want but, at the end of the day, people are still buying the PS3 despite the PS4 announcement. How do you explain that? Dude, despite all the 3DS domination in Japan, the PS3 is keeping with it. Even better - a GT game is coming out this holiday season.

Also, how do you know how much of a loss, if any, the PS4 is taking?

PS3 will not outsell the Wii. No chance. You read it here first folks.
