With the exception of the Neo-Geo, no non-dominant console has never lived longer than 5 years with enough support to have 2 games released every month; and Sony's 10 year plan doesn't seem to be preventing the PSP's upcomming software line-up from rapidly shrinking. Why will Sony be successful with the PS3 when so many others (including Sony) have failed before them?
Being that the bulk of the PS3's current fanbase seems to be early adopter (graphic whore) gamers who seem to be the first to flee, to move onto the next-best thing, what's going to keep these gamers on the PS3 when it is (drastically) outperformed in every way by a system that is very affordable?
With massive development costs preventing game developers, who focus on games that appeal to the mass-market (typical) gamer, from developing games on the PS3 why are the gamers who tend to buy and/or support a system later in its life going to buy a PS3?
When Blu-Ray players are sold at Walmart for $50 (or less) why are people going to be looking to buy a PS3 for Blu-Ray functionality?
The fact is that the PS3 getting outsold 2:1 by the Wii today is a good indication that the PS3 will be outsold by the Wii through out its life, and even if the PS3 has a long life for a trailing console the Wii's lifespan will probably be longer.
