I assume it's because since no more games are being released for the old systems, The Big Three believe they're making less money from supporting 7G than just abandoning it altogether and forcing people to move on to 8G. With basically no new games being made for Wii, PS3 or Xbox 360 (can you name 5 disc-based (not digital download-only) that were released this year?), The Big Three aren't seeing any actual profit from them.

Most sales for 7G, be they consoles or games, nowadays are used sales. The Big Three don't get a red cent out of the used games market. Meanwhile, they have keep supporting 7G with online content, such as DLC, title updates and online servers.

A single game (JD2016) is hardly enough to offset that. I think The Big Three are just slowly trying to whittle down the userbase of 7G so they can shut down all of their online servers connected to 7G without there being a huge uproar. And one step in doing that is to have a bunch of people switch over to 8G to play the newest games, or in JD2016's case, the newest games with all of the bells and whistles.
