Even without proper backwards compatibility, and not being able to play purchased PS1/2 Classics on it. Even without free online play.

Yes.

But that implies that it's a replacement and not just another console. Did the SNES replace the NES when it came out and people sold their NES before buying a SNES?

Considering the PS3 wasn't worth owning last generation, and the PS4 is one of the better consoles of this generation, I'd argue it more than replaces the PS3.

Especially when half the games worth playing on the PS3 got rereleased in PS4 versions anyway.

Considering it ended up selling more than the 360, it seems like most people disagree with you.

Still can't play Demon's Souls on it. Also, still don't have backwards compatibility. If you want to re-purchase all of the gems on PS3 for minimal improvements, that's your choice I guess.

I had played all the PS3 games I had wanted and rarely replay games.

Gamestop was offering $150 credit towards the PS4 if you traded-in the PS3. It a no-brainer upgrade time!

The PS3's primary function is to play video games. That's also the PS4's primary function.

The PS2's primary function is to play video games. That's also the GameCube's primary function. Did the GameCube replace the PS2?

If they didn't buy it the first time, it's not re-purchasing... Either way, it's doesn't matter much. At least there should be an answer for you...

You can certainly replace a PS2 with a Game Cube since they both serve the same function. Whether or not it'd be a good replacement is a different matter.

I'm not denying what the second definition is. I'm denying that this situation fits that second definition.

No they don't, unless you generalize like you're doing.

getting a new thing with the sole intent that it does things better than this other thing is literally replacing said other thing with the new thing.

what the new thing does better than the other thing is entirely subjective

If we accept this, then whether or not the new thing does anything better is also subjective.

He's saying they both play games. Which is true. So, you could basically replace a PS2 with a GameCube if the PS2 didn't have any games you wanted to play, but the GameCube did...

But it doesn't do things better than the PS3.

Having new games that the other doesn't have could be considered better...

Yeah. That's why everyone always has different opinions on what's the best system. So like older systems for things they think they did better. Whole some like newer systems because they think the newer systems did whatever it was better...

Lol? That was the attitude in like 2006/2007 but after that it became the console MOST worth owning in that generation.

A little. But it's not unheard of. I've had friends who have told me they replaced a system in their house with a system from another company because they didn't really play it anymore and had no games for it. It's over-generalizing a little, but still works.
