The PSone and PS2 both endured long spells even though they had even rougher starts. I think the PSone didn't even have games at launch and the PS2 was so complex to design for at the time that devs were complaining and dooming the system on a regular basis.
When the PS3 came out, everyone went on to say that Blu-ray was the wrong bet to place on the PS3 and it turned out that it won the format war. They said that the PS3 was too complex to design for and now devs are saying they see so much potential in the PS3. At the begining, u had companies like Valve who went on to do crappy ports on the PS3 and now, u have companies doing games like mirrors edge and putting the PS3 as their main platform for the game.
At the begining, u didn't have games to showcase the PS3, it had no games(or at least, so few) and now, it is the 'console' system with the most exclusive in the works.
From an unbiased point of view, as many know I'm not a PS3 fan nor even own a PS3, I'd say the Sony PR is damn believable and way more credible that you would give it credit for. I'm even starting to believe that their 10 year life cycle isn't so far fetched afterall...
I am a Gamer... I play games and not consoles. I have a PC and Console on which I game... I like games. End of Story!
