Streaming super 1080p for Netflix is more than enough for me.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the PSOne still have games coming out for it?
I know the PS2 had some major ones. Persona 4 came out in 08.
There's no doubt that the PS3 will still get multiplat support for years to come, but the exclusivity train will likely come to a halt this year.
In terms of new releases it probably is, but I still have a lot to play, given that I bought mine less than 3 months ago. It helps that I never owned a PS2, because of all those HD ports that are available on PS3 which I'll get to experience for the first time (I'm currently playing Ico, and it's pretty good.)
Hell, I wonder about Zestria. Tales has been higher profile than other non-SE/Nintendo JRPGs, and quicker to launch on newer generations than some series (Tales of Destiny 2 was 2002 in Japan, an earlier PS2 title, and Vesperia was 2008 on 360 and well ahead of most other titles.) Combine that with how it's not out until 2015 anyway and it may not be a bad idea to just make it cross-gen. Especially since what I vaguely recall about the gameplay details earlier on make me think it won't be 60 fps in battle on PS3, but that could be doable on PS4.
I WAS going to call all of those into question, but the last Atelier hit in July and I would sooner expect a KH1-2.5 compilation for PS4(/XB1?) than just KH2.5 alone.
Hasn't Baba said they're already preparing to transition to PS4 development? Cross-gen makes sense if they wouldn't have something ready before 2017+ otherwise.

Metal Gear Solid V in 2015 and Rise of the Tomb Raider (not announced yet, but there's a 360-version) in 2016 will be the last big games.

This thread is the first I heard we had a P5 trailer! Just googled it now!
So long PS3, ya hunka junk

You're talking cross-gen, not exclusives. Cross-gen could go on for quite awhile potentially, though 2016 probably is the last outside of sports games and those that can be more easily adapted to weaker consoles IE music games.
I certainly wouldn't shelve the system in the near future, but then I'm not one to consciously do that. It just... happens, and may come crawling back out if there's something I want to play badly enough.

It's the only place to play Destiny without a subscription. If I had to start from scratch, I'd buy the cheapest working used PS3 I could find and a used copy of Destiny for it.
I'm thinking Tales of Zestiria is probably going to be the last major PS3 release of note now Persona 5 is on PS4 as well. Cross gen releases are gonna be around for a while yet though.
Time to move on for me though I think... once I clear my backlog.
Ar Nosurge is this month?
For some reason I had the idea in my head it was next year. Probably got it mixed up with something else I guess :/

A video game called Destiny is coming out on the PlayStation 3 video game console in eight days.
A video game called Persona 5 is coming out on the PlayStation 3 video game console in some number of days.
Those are two upcoming video games that are coming out on a video game platform that has sold somewhere between 80 and 83.38 million units to date.
There were quite a few good video games released on the PlayStation 3 platform over the years.

I just realized it myself when I looked it up for this thread. I probably won't have time to play it for a long while, but I'm still getting it.

I just got a PS3 Slim last week after missing out on it all generation. A big reason for me was Persona 5, but I'm not too distraught. Still have a ton of games that I've missed out on (oh hello, Demon's Souls).
Huh, missed this completely. I wonder how the crowd against cross gen feels about this.
Reading that Persona 5 thread, people are really stoked about ditching their PS3 lol.

i think the PS3 will now flourish in asia, its now the JRPG games are hitting the system.

It seems to be a much steeper decline that the PS2 had. Probably due to the length of the last gen. I'd say they should try release a very cheap very small new version and it will keep going in smaller markets.

I gotta shitload of good games in my backlog for it (last of us,valkyria chronicles, mgs4, diagaea4, sotc collection, ratchet and clank:cit, other stuff I am forgetting etc) but yeah I think I am done buying any more games for it at all

Still rocking mine. Still don't have a PS4. I've waited this long, might as well wait on a price drop or a revision of the hardware.

Wouldn't the fact they're still making cross-gen games for it suggest otherwise?

Not at all. Almost every game coming out for the PS4 that I care about is also getting a PS3 release. If it wasn't for Bloodborne I'd just stick with the PS3.

Don't forget Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD!
Yeah, PS3 still has about a year or so left in it, but that's about it.
I'll still be buying games for it till the bitter end, though - all the games mentioned already in this thread, as well as older games I missed. Lots of gaming still left to do on the old warhorse.
With that said, next year will be my time to upgrade. Sony really wants to see last gen over, and it seems a whole lot of GAffers do too, so I'll be joining the rest of you in the current gen before too long.

It's been such a slow transition, though, especially compared to previous generations. Or, at least, it feels slower. Has it been slower in reality, or is my memory failing me?

Yeah it is definitely slower especially in Japan
My PS3 is going to have to make room for it's younger sibling the PS4 but it's far from dead.
I preordered mine for Destiny and some other titles next year such as Bloodborne, MGSV, FFXV and No Man's Sky.
But I've been picking up a lot of old gems on the cheap for the PS3 lately like Vanquish, DmC and MG Rising.
I'll probably continue for a year or two until the PS4 library is large enough where I won't bother looking elsewhere.
Oh and when Street Fighter 5 is out!

After this for me the PS3 is kill and will just become the Netflix box. It had a good run.

PS3 is seeing more playing time from me now than it has since I got it.
Arcana Heart 3: Love Max!!!!!
Alien: Isolation
The Evil Within
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Persona 5
plus a bunch of stuff I still need to pick up:
Dragon's Crown
Deception IV: Blood Ties
Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle
Harem Tengoku da to Omottara Yandere Jigoku Datta
At this point I see no reason for me to buy a PS4 in the next two years since the PS3 is handling my non-Nintendo needs just fine.

No.
As long as they keep announcing games that are "Cross-gen", ie, coming out on PS3 in addition to PS4 the system stays alive. There is frankly just no compelling reason to upgrade if you can get most of the games without doing so, even if they are inferior on a technical level for being on last gen hardware. It's not a big enough difference for most people, including me.

Where does this belief come from? I don't think Japanese people are different from everybody else on earth. So the idea they're fine with older graphics doesn't make sense to me.

Why do you still need exclusives for a 7 year old console?
There are still games coming out to play and it still has a fantastic library that cannot be taken away.
Personally I just dont understand anyone who is feeling disappointed in the PS3s future. Mine has several years of life left in it and when it dies ill probably buy yet another one.
