I've noticed a few posters talk about how the PS3 is getting support, but reality is the lames who stan systems make up there own realities. GT6 is coming out this fall, and Last of Us is coming out soon. Will either of those games be better than the multiplat games heading to both systems? No. But after looking at all the evidence, its clear Microsoft has plans for the 360. For one, Stingray is the codename of the new $100 xbox that will be revealed tomorrow. What leaked a few days ago but has not been discussed on Neogaf (which is why it hasn't been talked about here yet) is the fact that the New xbox and the old xbox will share the same Xbox Live. You can message gamers on the 720 from your 360. Or if you have a windows phone you can message your friends from that device as well as long as its a WP8 device.
Now I bring this up for a reason. Why would they do all that if they didn't have plans on supporting the system moving forward? Just like why Grand Theft Auto 5 is not a launch title for the next gen, that same reason is why all 3rd parties will support the ps3/360 until what happens? Until sales fall off. And last time I checked, the 360 was the best place for 3rd parties to make a profit at. Will they have any "exclusives" and will the ps3 exclusives be better than next gen titles? I for one do not give a shyt because I am the next gen. I wont be looking back. I am a little confused, because the same dudes talked about how backwards compatibility isn't a concern. But I'll leave that topic for another thread. PS4 + 8gb GDDR5 = Flawless Victory!!!

So what your saying is the competition is going to go through all this to make them compatible with each other, but don't have plans to actually support it moving forward? I understand the console loyalty and all, but that is no excuse for blatant stupidity. We can laugh at what they have to offer, but don't blindly say they not gonna offer anything. Thats wishful thinking at its finest. I just broke it down for you as to why what your saying is asinine. The only question is what exclusives will it have? And that question really only applies to people who are NOT planning on getting a next gen system any time soon. The xbox 1 was losing money for Microsoft. The 360 is a cash cow for everyone involved, and its about to be sold for $100. Is there a $100 ps3 in the pipelines? How much will I cost? Kaz, I know you'll step up for us 
right now. 
Once the next gen starts the majority of us will not care about the last gen. What you don't understand is every 3rd party game hitting next gen systems will also hit last gen aka 360/ps3. The ps4 has this thing called online streaming via there cloud service. So they cutting into the ps3's future with that as well. And most importantly games sell much better on xbox360 so why would 3rd parties abandon that just to cater to a smaller install base?
