I could see game itself sell a lot as it is very fairly priced and Sony camp got a ton of ex 360 gamers, who never had ps3, but I dont see it to be a driving force to buy ps4 itself.

"Almost 50 per cent of people who have purchased a PS4 didn't own a PS3, and that's lots of people that missed exclusive PS3 titles like The Last of Us, so it's a great way to welcome those people back to PlayStation, saying this is what you missed."

From the number of people who have shown themselves to be more than willing to double-dip, as well as the stat Shuhei Yoshida mentioned above, I can certainly see it being worthwhile for Sony.
pleasant Co. wrote: » No doubt, I was in no way suggesting that it would sell poorly, only that it's not a release that will have a swell of people queuing up to buy a ps4 (as, eg. the next halo game will for the xbox), if anything that eurogamer article reinforces my opinion. Will it be an added incentive to possibly get a ps4? almost certainly it will, gamers like good games shockingly enough It makes perfect sense to have one of the most acclaimed games of last gen available on this gen, and as downloadable games become the norm it'll be one of those games that many many ps4 owners will download over the ps4's cycle.

I have to say though, you could save some money and just buy a PS3 if you never owned one, rather than springing for a PS4, and have a massive back catalogue of games to play at cheap prices with all of that money you didn't have to spend on the PS4 in the first place!

A certain title might finally be the one to persuade you to pick one up, but if you buy a PS4 or One now there's going to be years' worth of interesting titles too, alongside the ones already out or already announced. I think it's fair to say that's a given. Investment indeed.

My brother has a PS4(had a PS3) - has to use a different username because he can't access his old email to recover PS3 name(he's not that bothered by usernames either). I would imagine there are plenty of users in same boat that Sony are using to skew as their "new" adoptees.
CiDeRmAn wrote: » I'm not critical of anyone's purchase. Simply suggesting, to all those who say they've never owned a PS3, that now would be great time to pick one up cheap. Masses of great games to be had there, the Ico/SotC HD remakes for starters. Bayonetta is never likely to turn up on the PS4 for example.

ShadowHearth wrote: » Exactly. I am still baffled how much value 360 and ps3 holds second hand. I wanted to pick up 360 cheaply as my one bricked and I still got a ton of games for it, but no way I am paying that money for it. Funny enough I am thinking of getting wii U more often now... I dont know why though... :pac:

Keep one put away for yourself in case your current system dies, and hold onto the other, unopened, to sell in 20 years to a collector :P
