Anybody keeping their PS3 when buying PS4?

Just my humble opinion, but I think 3D graphics have got to a stage where they will never look dated, a bit like 2D gaming at the 16-bit era (Amiga, SNES) which still stand up well.
For this reason I will be keeping my PS3 when upgrading instead of going to CEX like normal! I have quite a variety of games which I think will always look good.
Whilst I know the PS4 will improve on them, I don't think it's like the jump from PS2 to PS3

Maybe a pricier machine with optional features such as this.
More rear USB Ports.
Memory card slot or easy system to use older tech with machine.
Way to answer the OP's question!
Unfortunately I didn't hold too much value in keeping my consoles when I was a kid, but I do still have my PS1 and bricked PS2 + PhatPS3.
im sorry, i hate that word, its just childish
i havent got a PS3 anymore, but i will be getting a PS4..probably
I'm not messing about playing streamed games with Sonys limp BC, a PS3 is essential going forward into the next gen. Sad but true.
To quote Ali G: "Respek"
I felt the same about the Wii U (originally I was undecided on getting one), but the previews of NSMBU just about did enough to get me excited enough about the console to buy it.
Problem is I don't think Sony really has any franchises like that to win me over as my interest in gaming has waned over the years... I only got interested in NSMBU because it shared a lot of features with Super Mario World which I loved as a kid.
I think the normal seller of new systems is graphics and the visual leap from generation to generation has been getting less and less and at this point it just isn't that big to generate excitement so the games need to pick up the slack...
My 2 cents anyway...
I still regret it now.
If nothing else I'll keep the PS3 as a media centre.
Isn't it R E S T E C P ?
Plus whilst there are still loads of games on my PS3 I haven't played yet and am interested in playing, I don't think any of the PS4 launch games will be that exciting. I'm sure it will be a top console and am impressed with the spec but new consoles always take a while to really get going, I'll probably buy it a few years after it comes out when it has some triple A games to warrant the expense. In the meantime I'm more than happy to enjoy my PS3 and 360 and if I really need a taste of next gen graphics I do have a very decent PC too.
ps4 will have no backwards compatability and i have a ton of games
also ps4 does not supports cds so will use ps3 to rip the ones i want to transfer over to ps4
I still have a SNES for Mario Kart but my Master System and Amiga 500+ I gave away to my cousins around the PSX era.
The PS4 won't play any of your digital purchases either which isn't something I want to support.
