I think the 10 year lisfespan plan is impossible to carry out and Sony Knows it

The Ps3 has the lowest hardware and software sales of all 3 system how exactly do they pan to keep a system with the least exclusive thrid party support, least developer friendly hardware and most expensive production costs?

To last that Long a console needs

• Largest Userbase (Wii)
• Highest Monthly Hardware Sales WW (Wii/Ds)
• Highest Monthly Software sales (Wii/Ds)
• Abundant Exclusive Third Party Support (Xbox360/Wii)
• A Masterful marketing (Wii/Nintendo)
• Reasonable or lowest price (Wii)

Lets not forget about the infamous amount of 3 billion dollars sony lost with the Ps3, why do they lie to the costumer so blatantly promising something that its clearly impossible? The Ps3 will never surpass The Wii or 360's userbases and that alone nails the coffin for that ridiculous plan.

Sony has never had a 10 year console cycle, they have ALLways released between 6-7 years after the launch of the previous generation.

The console can remain in the market even if their predecessor is released (Ps2 for example), sony allegedly wants the Ps3 to last TEN years in the market which is laughable imo.

Look how long the PS2 lasted...and how long they supported it for, why does it seem impossible? Your basically saying that as time goes on the PS3 gets worser, lol.

Bluray was part of the plan.

Sony backs the plan up with what they did with the PS2, lets just wait and see.

BTW, PS2's been out since 2000 in japan.

remaining on the market is different then a cycle a cycle basically means a generation, and sony has never had a 10 year generation. I just wanted to clear that up for the cows that would come in saying they'd done it before.

the PS2 debuted in 2000 in japan...what year is it now?

To those of you saying Sony is still supporting the PS2, what big games is coming out for the PS2 from them? They stopped support after God of War 2.

The sole reason the PS1 and PS2 remained in the market was because they were popular enough to warrant it. Unless the PS3 starts selling well (which it's not),it makes no sense for sony to keep a dead weight product on shelves for an entire decade.

Welll that really all depends. While the Playstation did kinda came to a grinding halt after seven years, it still got a game every now and then. So technically it was alive for ten years.
And I'd say the PS2 has another few years before it comletly dies out. It's still getting games and they still sell fairly well. Just last year it had a few games that made it past the million mark.

The rest of the year will see the release of some pretty big PS2 games as well. Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories, Dragon Ball Z Infinite World, Rockband 2, Guitar Hero: World Tour, Sonic Unleashed, Spider-man: Web of Shadows and Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4.

Im glad your finally coming to your senses Mi6 the ps3's been a sinking ship for a while and this ten year life cycle is such a joke Gh0st_Of_0nyx

its funny that the ps2 still sells better in japan than the x360 and ps3

I wouldn't call it a "sinking ship", but simply a ship that's not magically flying through space like the PS2.

Never say never Unless you can see the future, we won't know if PS3 lasts 10 years or not. I'm not saying it will, i'm not saying it won't.StingerVXIII

Ok, then I'll use my amazing powers of common sense and say, yes there's a "chance" it will, but there's a much much higher chance that it won't.

At this point, it's hard to tell whether or not Sony will continue to support the PS3 after the PS4 is released. Really I can see PS3 getting like 8 years if Sony learned not to rush out the gate next gen.

It will be around for 10 years, but not all those 10 years as Sony's most current generation model. By 2011-2012, we'll see the PS4 (or what ever it'll be called).

So it'll be 5-6 years as the current gen model.
4-5 years as the last gen model

Just like it was for PS2 and PS1 before it. Of course when PS4 comes out, it will overshadow the PS3, taking away the spotlight and glory as the hot new shining star.

Funny the same thing was said about the PSP and look how well it's doing now.

which is dead last in handheld sales?

10 year Lifespan?

Translation:

We just lost billions of dollars just making the PS3 and now we're losing even more. So **** it, we're not making a PS4 until the PS3 sold 200m units

no, but the above poster had suggested how great the PSP is doing, and its failing miserably to the DS.

the PS2 is selling for 8 years so far, 10 years is not so hard to achieve looking at Sony's past consoles, the PS3 is only 2 years old, "just wait".

The PSP has sold roughly twice as many units as the XBox360 and they were released around the same time. I get a huge chuckle everytime some hater calls it a failure. I wish I has stock invested in that "failure"

I'm gonna dig up this thread in 10 years for future ownage :DSpinoRaptor

Do you think... you'll post in this forum in ten years from now?

Anyway, the Ps3 shouldn't last long after the Ps4 is released for less than 300 $ XD!!!!!!!!! 260$? 230$?

Im sure they will remember what happens when you release a 600$ console, it works wonders to your market share :D!

Errrrr, Sony specifically said 10 year life span, not cycle. Therefore, it means 10 years on the market rather than 10 years before they release another console.....

Wow, people still don't understand the ten year span?
