The reason they brought up the 10 year thing was because they were trying to reassure consumers that their product was a long term products, one in part to concern over price and two in regards to recent consoles losing all support like the Xbox and Gamecube. Sony supports their console even after the next one, not asking their consumer bases to purchase the new machine to get new games. That's another reason why MS made the claim for the 360 later, to reassure consumers. Anything outside of that was taken out of context by the very media that was asking them the questions that gave them that answer.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

what do you mean? i think he was trying to assure customers not to worry about something new and better coming so soon after they purchased the ps3, my  whole point is that after reading the quote, for me at least, it appears that in 06 sony plans where to release the ps4 much later, as i said early the adapted to the changing market, as a good company should, and decided to released this year, around the 7 year mark, i think it was a direct response to microsoft and rumors of their launch plans

No, he was drawing a parrallel to the stragety they are taking with the Ps3 to the strageties they took with the Ps1 and Ps2. Both of which lasted longer than 10 years AND their predeccesor launched before 10 years.

huh? wasnt the ps2 released in 2000 and the ps3 in 2006, a six year difference, now in 2006 he is quoted as saying"I think that we are offering a very good value for the consumers. We look at our products having a 10-year life cycle, which we've proven with the PlayStation. Therefore, the PlayStation 3 is going to be a console that's going to be with you again for 10 years. We're not going to ask the consumers to suddenly buy another PlayStation console in five years time, and basically have their investment go by the wayside. So for all those reasons, I think at $599 we're offering a very good value to the consumers"  he specifically says not to expect another console in five years time, Why not if the transistion from ps2 to ps3 was only six years isnt five reasonable? Parrallels?  As i said before i believe when it came to the ps3, in 06 they believed it would last alot longer before the need to release a new console, But since we're just repeating ourselfs ill end it with this Agreed to Disagree.

"Our PRODUCTS" meaning the Ps1/2... and like you said the Ps3 launched 6 years after the Ps2... "We look at [ps1 and ps2] having a 10-year cycle, which we have proven." ...So how the hell can their products have a 10 year cycle if they are being launched 5 and 6 years after their predecessors? The obvious answer is they are talking about the entire time its on the shelf and not until the next product launches

And I won't agree to disagree because you are flat out completely wrong. Just accept it

hahaha read my responses i never said that 10 life cycle meant how long it would be until they release a new system, that was the other guy bucky who made that mistake, sloppy anyways im out

Without the PS3, Sony wouldnt have won the High definition optical disc format war. Now they make money off every Blu-Ray disk sold thanks to PS3.

Only the Wii and the DS were financial profits this gen if we go by what you say. I guess MS and SONY shouldn't have even bothered to release consoles this gen. OR let's try this concept. Wait until the consoles actually stop selling and THEN assess whether they were financial disasters. We might as well say the 3DS and the WiiU are financial disasters since they haven't recouped on the losses yet.

"We might as well say the 3DS and the WiiU are financial disasters since they haven't recouped on the losses yet."..  sureee okay!

lets ignore that the 3DS is only 2 years old with bare losses and is already profitable.. and the wiiU is 5 months old.. and then as a Nintendo fan I will find something else to blame for the losses.. since they dont sell tvs.. I will blame the losses to the cost of building a new huge Nintendo HQ! yeh thats it..  Nintendo is a financial disaster!... is that good enough for you?..

Your comprehension skills leave much to be desired. I never said anything related to Nintendo being a financial disaster.

So let me see if I understand this thread.
A xbox360 fan after reading the other post about PS3 making the greatest comeback ever (I would say the Wii made the greatest come back ever in the gaming industry) realizing that the PS3 XBOX360 Gap went from 7 millions to 1 millions and that PS3 might in the near feature even take the second place over the Xbox360 went on reading around 5 Sony financial reports ( 80 pages average each) just to post SONY PS3 lost????
