Many buyers today are wondering: is it worth buying a PS3 game console after the release of the next generation console - PS4? The desire to purchase the latest version of a device is quite natural, but not always justified. The fact is that the release of a new generation console does not mean the death of the previous one - due to the great popularity of Sony Playstation 3, games for it will be released for at least several more years.
Price
The Sony Playstation 3 game console came out back in 2006 and even then amazed users with its versatility. In fact, Sony has released a whole multimedia center that allows you not only to play video games, but also watch HD and 3D films due to the built-in Bly-Ray drive. However, the game console had one drawback - it is rather high cost.
After the release of the PS4, the situation changed dramatically - the prices for the previous generation game console slid downward. While the cost of PS4 has been kept at a high level from the very start of sales, and you should not expect a significant price reduction for it in the near future. In addition, the Sony Playstation 4 game console is designed primarily for games and does not imply a large number of different media services.
Games
For 8 years of its existence, the PS3 game console has collected a huge library of games, including both exclusive and multi-platform projects, so even the most fastidious gamer can easily find something suitable for himself. Beyond: Two Souls, Uncharted, The Last of Us, Battlefield, Heavy Rain, God of War, Call of Duty, Gran Turismo, Mortal Kombat, GTA V, Need for Speed, FIFA - the list of games is endless. Dozens of first-class projects of absolutely all genres have already been released for the Sony Playstation 3 game console, and new games will be released for at least another 2-3 years. Of course, after the release of PS4, Sony is unlikely to support the previous version with the release of exclusive hits, but multi-platform games will be released in the same way as before (such novelties as The Sims 4, FIFA 15, NHL 15, Watch Dogs and others).
Despite the fact that Sony plans to launch the Gaikai cloud service in the near future, which allows using PS3 games on PS4, it is unlikely to be free, and the re-release of all your favorite projects could cost the user a large sum.
Game cost
The cost of licensed games for Sony Playstation 4 is almost 30% more expensive than analogs for the previous generation console. In addition, many hits for PS3 now cost much less than before the release of PS4, for example, the entire series of exclusive Uncharted games can be purchased for just 800 rubles.

Each option has its own advantages and disadvantages, the choice of a particular game console depends only on the wishes and goals of the buyer. For those who like to play various games, but do not have enough funds to constantly replenish the game library, it is better to opt for the PS3 game console. If you want to be among the discoverers of all the possibilities of a new generation console, and the price does not really matter to you, then in this case the PS4 console will be the ideal option.
