Forget about the 10-year cycle, it's just a PR gimmick. Console lifecycles are decided by customers, not companies.

Besides, even if the PS3 has a 10-year cycle, that doesn't mean the PS4 will come in 10 years. Look at how the PS2 is still selling well into PS3's lifecycle.

 

 

so you think if sony dropped support for ps2 it would still sell?

Sony is barely supporting the PS2 right now and it's still selling. They're making hardware and shipping software and that's about it. After a console has taken off, it doesn't need much support to continue, developers and customers do most of the work.
