Maybe not 2015, my guess is 2013 or 2014. Personally i wouldn't complain about that.

Yes, and they should last that long. This gives developers more time and save money in milking out the marrows of life on each console. Creating more quality games and boosting more value on the console, giving consumers a good long term investment from their wallets.

Well I am guesing they will last at least that long, look at the ps2, it is selling like crazy still with no signs of letting up. It will happen again with this gen. The other systems will come out simetime around 2011 or 2012. PS4 might not come to 2013.

No....what they mean when they say their current consoles will have a ten year lifespan is that they will continue to support the consoles for ten years after their release date (2015/2016). Take the Playstation 3....the Playstation 2 was released in 2000, the PS3 was released in 2006. God of War 2, a first-party Sony title, was released on PS2 in 2007. Basically, expect the new consoles to hit roughly around 2011. Perhaps later. But definitely not 2015.

Depends on the economy and the costs of the new hardware parts. Consoles need to be affordable and progress well with advanced technological trends. If a console comes out too powerful too soon, it'll have no choice but to charge crazy amounts of dollars in order to match costs and make profit. Sony is still learning this lesson with the PS3, and the job cuts and studio closures aren't helping either.

So yeah, it is very possible that current consoles may last until 2015.

Well we all know they're working on next gen consoles already and I really don't believe it'll be a year past 2012 until the new consoles arrive.
