I don't see why the PS3 can't last 10 years, I mean if graphics no longer matter who cares if it's outdated in the latter half of it's life. Chances are the people buying it in the latter part of it's life are those mass market consumers who don't put graphics at a high priority.
I also suspect that since both Sony and Microsoft were badly burned by going to market with new powerful expensive machines that they'll extend the lifespans of them in order to try to recoup their investments and wait until a significantly more powerful machine is cheaper to produce than the PS3 and 360 originally were.
