Depends on what sells the most, so my guess is PS3.

PS3. Sony's too poor for a PS4 in 5-6 years.

Nope. Xbox would have been out another year if MS hadn't thought the PS3 was going to make early 06 and Gamecube stayed on well past its death. I don't think current success levels had much impact.

PS3 will probably have the longest life span if Blu-Ray succeeds.

 I personally favor the PS3, however, i am here to give a fair analysis on all 3 consoles. As aforementioned (i like using big words) i favor the PS3 and i think that it'll last the longest, but for a logical reason. This is where SONY was smart. They built the PS3 for the future; there are all new technologies in it. The Cell, The RSX, Blu-Ray, etc. are all ahead of their times.     

The 360 would most likely have the 2nd longest lifespan due to the fact that Microsoft has also made it pretty powerful. The HD-DVD component, however is failing; not only due to the fact that Blu-Ray is catching up (and will soon surpass) HD-DVD, but because it has only one big exclusive developer, and that is univeral studios. Despite this however, the 360 will have a long lifespan.

The wii, in my opinion will have the shortest lifespan. For the time being however, the Wii is amazing with it's motion sensing technology. However, this will soon get old, and seeing as though the Wii has no real futuristic technology in terms of graphics, it will not last as long as the PS3 or 360.

I'm going to have to go with Sony on this one because the company itself has said that they see the PS3 as having a 10 year life cycle. I think by 2016, Microsoft and Nintendo will both have new consoles, which will likely be technologically superior to the PS3,......well the MS console will be anyways. The PS3 will have to be around for quite a while in order to recoup all the R & D costs, as well as the losses from hardware sales. It should be interesting once the PS3 price drops to a more realistic price.

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"][QUOTE="nanomecha4"]This is probably the best topic for a poll. but somehow the 360 wont lose...i have a feeling. lolol 360 is the obvious answer though.

Want to know why it's the obvious answer? Because it's the best there is, the best there ever was, and the best there ever will be. :)

PS3 no doubt. PS3's fate is intertwined with Blue-Ray. PS3s are sold at a huge loss, more if a price drop happens in 07. Sony is literally betting 1/2 the company on this standard succeding.

Wii is a game-only system. Wiis have always been sold for a profit

360 is a more advanced, (compared to Wii) good-online, game-only system. 360s are now being sold at a profit.




Sony has the most to lose by canceling their current system.

Sony has stated how they built the PS3 to last 10+ years. MS and Nintendo haven't said anything like that. Also MS seems to like to come out with new ones faster.

PS3 will be longest because of advance technology

360 second technology is good but dvd will be outdated later

wii- it is already out dated the remote can't last that long

Tecnolgy is meaningful such as even though VCR is real cheap it is gone washed out because old tecnology the Wii if it was powerful it would be longest but this dosen't mean PS3 will not fail it might lets wait and see. PS3 will win yea :?

The Xbox 360 is my favorite system out there, don't get me wrong, but the PS3 will be "on shelves" a lot longer than the 360 or Wii...

With the Wii - it's about to get blown away in two years or so by the next Nintendo handheld. It will have games, certainly, but with Nintendo making money on hardware, I see them being keen to get the next Gameboy on the market.

Xbox 360...how long will Microsoft sit before they want to launch a new console? It'll be cheaper for them to jump to their next platform than it will be for Sony...

Sony is locked into the PS3, like it or not they're in it for the long haul, trying to recoup costs and such. They aren't going to have an easy time getting on PS4 development, especially if the PS3 bleeds money.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's face it the PS3 is going to have the longest shelf life out of all the systems thats not really saying much because it's not selling so it will stay on the shelf for another 10 maybe 15 years!!!!

The reason the PS2 continues to be supported is that it has a HUGE install base and it did the best last generation. Of course you will continue to have a few new games here and there. Especially with the lack of install base the PS3 currently has they know a lot of people are still playing the PS2 and will most likely buy games. In fact , right now you have A LOT more potential of making money by making a PS2 game then a PS3 game. The reason Xbox and the Gamecube "abandoned" their console is because it was like beating a dead horse. All the consoles were pushing their limits near the end as far as performance you know your current console cannot really offer anything extremly new to shift the tides so it's time to move on. Let's say in 5 years from now Microsoft and Nintendo are doing fantastic and for some reason the PS3 is in 3rd place and not selling well. Do you honestly think that PS3 will not try and come out with a console earlier then previous predicted. You know the answer!!

It’s hard to predict imo. First of all i think the Wii will continue to sell well for a few more years, but the dated graphics may stop people from buying them 2-3 years from now so Nintendo might be forced to create a new console.

If PS3 sales do not pick up then I think Sony may be forced into cutting its lifespan short and create a new console.

If the 360 continues to be the market leader then im sure MS will support it for much longer then they supported the Xbox. If the Wii(good possibility) or somehow the PS3 start to outsell the 360 by a large margin then I suspect MS might abandon the console like they did with the original Xbox. Judging all the consoles current sales right now I would have to say the PS3 is the most likely of the 3 to have the shortest lifespan.

the PS3, just look at the PS2, there are a lot of games to come. And there a great games in those like God Of war 2. If they keep pushig their old console like this when it'll be time for the PS4, it'll be the ps3 that'll have the longer life span.
