For anyone worried about the fact they can’t currently
afford to spend $400 upgrading their old PlayStation 3 to a shiny new PS4, Sony
has good news for you.
The technology giant stated this week that it believes its
current-gen console has at least two years of support remaining for it, perhaps
even more...
Dragon Age: Inquisition Is Just One Of A Number Of AAA Games
Coming To PS3 This Year
Speaking at Sony Santa Monica a few days ago marketing
executive John Coller told press that the older console is still far from being
on its last legs.
“We believe that the platform has a lot of life left in it,”
he said. “Two, three, four years; we think there’s time left in the platform.
It depends on the content. We have a good lineup this year and it looks like a
good lineup next year. We need to keep fueling that.
“We really have to keep PS3 alive. And so to do that, we
have to further the content. I think there will be a good story for the PS3
over the next year to two years.”
For 2014 at least those of us yet to invest in next-gen have
little to worry about, especially if we have a decent PC rig to accompany our
consoles. Dark Souls II, Thief, South Park: The Stick Of Truth, Watch Dogs,
Child Of Light and Dragon Age: Inquisition are just a few of the big titles
releasing on PlayStation 3 over the coming months.
What do you think of Sony’s decision to keep supporting the
PlayStation 3? Is it a mark of respect for those who can’t yet upgrade, or just
a waste of resources that could be used to support next-gen development?
