Worth getting PS3 still? or wait until PS4?

I've been set on just getting a PS4 some time next year but the lack of backwards compatibility is a huge shame and I don't think I want to rely on Gaikai for playing PS3 games. I have a decent PC and I am very happy with my current consoles and handhelds but I am interested in games like Final Fantasy XIII, Ni No Kuni, The Last of Us, the Uncharted series, Bayonetta, the Tales games, the Metal Gear games, the Infamous series, and Heavy Rain. Games I didn't mention I will either get on the PC or I'm not interested in (sorry GTAV).

Basically I will most likely get a PS4 sometime next year but would it be worth getting a PS3 as well just for these games? I just feel it would be a shame to miss out on them but I'm not sure if they're worth getting a PS3 for. Any opinions you guys have would be much appreciated :D

It's well worth getting a ps3 for them games, I mean my problem is my ps3 has just died on me, I don't have enough money, so i'm opting to go and buy a ps4 at Launch but i'm one of the people who move on with the times and forget about last gen pretty quickly. But in my defense i have played and completed all them amazing games you speak of and the only ones i'm pretty bummed about missing are GTA V and Beyond 2 souls. which i'll prob play at my brothers or some where but i know there going to be a GTA for the new consoles at some point and great exclusives. i'd defiantly get yourself a ps3 while you wait.

yes its worth it.

Still worth it especially for the games you listed.

Looking at the games you listed, yes it is worth it. 

Buy the PS3.

Of course.

The system is available at a fantastic price, and is loaded to the max with incredible software, much of which is also very cheap due to being out for some time.

I'd say to wait for PS4 if all you're looking for are the exclusives on PS3. If you didn't already have something to play multiplats on I would have recomended the PS3 over the PS4 in a heart beat. Also Bayonetta is terrible on PS3, the 360 version runs at more than twice the framerate with much less muddy visuals.

yes its worth it.
