Is the XB1 the end of PS3?

Looking at how the XB1 is going (still way too early too tell) will it be enough for DCUO dev's to pull the plug early on the PS3?

-note- I like the PS3 and have had no issues on it at all no lag or freezes at all I don't know why I may have been lucky....but that doesn't mean the other people on it haven't. Also I know the important role the PS3 played int he game. If it wasn't for the PS3 we wouldn't still have this game.

P.S. I never said I would like it gone...I know better than the game will not graphic wise become better...and the game will still track the way it does now.But I know the PS3 will be on decline with more option to play it especially smoother.

We can only hope so... I so HOPE. But only time will tell.

Nope.

While i would also like to see PS3 go and allow DCUO to use its full potential (nothing against PS3 people), i really don't see that happening any time soon. PS3 people are still a really huge part of the total DCUO playerbase, and while i am PC, i'm pretty sure they'd rather lose all of PC than PS3

It should. The PS3 is holding back every other platform

PS3 players spend double what PC players spend:

• Smedley also notes that even the last gen PS3 sees DC Universe Online players monetizing at twice the rate of PC players.
• The PS4 has been monetizing amazingly well — between 3 and 3.5x the monetization rate of the PC.

Doubtful, even though at this point it could be considered a mercy killing for the ps3 folks, i'm amazed people still manage to play this game on that machine without wanting to put one in their skull, hell it was unbearable 2 years ago, i cant even imagine how bad it gotten since then.

I did not know you worked in Day Breaks financial division. Nice. Cause otherwise, you are speculating.

lol, by that token, Xbox is holding back PS4 and PC ...

Plus there are several online sites that track Playstation Trophies. The PS3 DLC trophies increase each day. An account either has to be subscribed or own a DLC to get a PS3 trophy.

That is old data. try again.

He edited with supporting documentation.

2017 sony will stop supporting ps3 isn't that right?

I thought XBOne was the end of the XB360??

But seriously.....
Not really.

What will be the end of the PS3 is when the cost to maintain the PS3 will be too high compared to the money they will earn from PS3.

So essentially......
If it cost them $1 000 000 to maintain the PS3...... but they make $50 000 000 in revenue...... they will keep the PS3.

But someday if it cost $1 000 000 to maintain PS3 and they only make $1 100 000 in revenue?? then odds are they will decide that it is not worth it and give up on the PS3.

I'm not seeing the correlation.

I doubt they'd end PS3, seeing as it makes them money.

Even if you own a restaurant, you'd keep your lemonade stand open if it was pulling in cash.

Is the the official word from Sony or rumor? I'm asking becasue i haven't seen an official statement not saying there isn't one...but PS is known for keeping their older systems for a long time even after a new one is out. But like I said i don't know but I haven't seen if anyone could post a link from Sony themselves I will appreciate it.

The correlation is that if there is enough XB1 players it would be easier to fade out the PS3. Money is money right but if the XB1 player base is more stable meaning the out number the PS3 then it will make it easier.

Still holds up...so try again??? <in a sarcastic tone>

Hahahaha....funny you think that...hint only the letter "p" is in the word that is really holding this game back, and its not in PS3.

They are still selling new PS3 consoles.
According to VGChartz data, over 440K new PS3 consoles have been sold in the last 6 months:
