Wouldn't PS3 have at least one major price cut left in it? I'd expect 3rd party support through 2016.
Also didn't Sony end manufacturing of PSOne around the time PS3 came out, and more recently, didn't they end PS2 manufacturing when PS4 came out ?
So....

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.The PS3 is pretty much done with exclusive game after Zestria the last Atelier and KH 2.5.
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.Hell, I wonder about Zestria.

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.
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.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.
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.Every time I think this Plus makes me re-think. Who knows honestly - certainly I'm still using mine a lot.
There's still Ar nosurge coming this month, and Atelier Shallie probably some time in the summer of 2015. That will probably be the last game I buy for it.
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.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 :/
With Persona 5 being announced for cross gen and Destiny being cross gen, I can't think of a PS3 exclusive I want. In fact, I don't even know of any that are coming out aside from the new Kingdom Hearts remasters.
Shallie, Zestiria.... heck, P5 is cross-gen.
What's with people wanting to ditch their PS3 so much?
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?It certainly look like Japanese devs are moving away form PS3 toward Vita and PS4 which is a good thing but we are still far away from complete transition.
Games announcement in Japan went form PS3/Vita/PS4 to Vita/PS4 and hopefully to PS4-only in a year or two.
Yeah it is definitely slower especially in JapanIt'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?
Tales of Zestria.
Sort of. It's gonna survive in Japan because a lot of Japanese devs are still making cross-gen games and Japan doesn't seem to really care about anything that the west cares about, namely power in consoles.
Yakuza 0 is probably going to run at 1080p on the PS4? Well, 720p is just fine for most of Japanese people, I'd imagine. So no real point in upgrading if devs refuse to stop making games for it and if the upgrades don't really matter to the audience.
