At least, not in the way some people seem to think.



Sony stated that the PS3 would have a 10 year lifespan at the peak of their PR bullshit-a-thon.

Yes, the PS3 will still be on the market in 2016.

Yes, you should expect the next Playstation console on the market at or before 2012.

Yes, people will continue to buy the PS3 after the launch of the new console, but all of us reading this will have our eyes on the next Playstation by then.

Yes, the PS3 will continue to get better and better.

Yes, Topher is all pimp and shit.

RUN TO THE HILLS
I agree, the PS3 is great, but it won't see the success the PS2 was able to attain.
And MGS4 wont sell one million copies on day one.
JK You are probably right. Sony employees seems to enjoy talking out their asses.
I agree. It'll be on the market as a Blu-Ray player, but the PS4 will be out and all eyes will be on that.
i agree. 2016 is ten years after 2006.
Is Summa still allowed to post here? If so, I'll go get him so he can rebut this crazy ass, unfounded news.

PAH!
10 years? Are you kidding me? The system will be obsolete in 10 years. The graphics will be ASS compared to whatever is out then lol.
So, it'll play out like this generation's Playstations? Makes sense. I'm sure you'll be saying "I told you so" in 3 years when we get word of the PS4.
The PS2 rocked so much harder than the PS3 as of now...but I got faith that things will turn up.
PS2 had so much more energy out of the gate and during its first two years on the market. This is pretty much a no-brainer.
Agreed. No way 10 years..
Yep. I believe they meant 10 year lifespan as how the PS1 had and the PS2 is currently on its way to a 10 year lifespan. If people understood it differently then they assumed they meant the next playstation will not release until after 10 years from PS3 launch. Of course my assumption could be wrong too. We'll see in a few years.
"Yes, people will continue to buy the PS3 after the launch of the new console, but all of us reading this will have our eyes on the next Playstation by then. "

If its anything like the first year of PS3, a lot more people will still get the last-gen version.

But then, I've always thought Playstations were like Star Trek movies - the odd-numbered ones aren't as good. So I'll be looking forward to the PS4 in 2012, about the time I can replace my PS2 :D
i like you and all, but this blog just fails.

sowwy :(
"Yes, the PS3 will still be on the market in 2016."

Doesn't that count at a 10 year life span?
Troll.

LOL.
Wardrox wins the poll.

Buck u woose.

If PS3 continues to sell in 2016, then it is a 10 year system. and yes, same applies to other consoles, not just PS2.
