Could the PS3 take the place of PS4 Next Gen?

PS2 has many thousands of games (between 7,000 and 8,000). It's the price IN ADDITION to that which makes it sell the way it does currently. And the only reason it got so many was because it was the leading platform. If you want to argue that PS3 will be the leading platform in five or six years, it's completely nonsense, but at least it's a real argument.

 

Yeah, but just because PS3 is "non-leading" because of Wii (it'll pass 360), doesn't mean that PS3 can't sustain a long time.  It needs a big strong game library, low price point, Blu-Ray player, and good movie downloads, and it can sustain great sales.

If your point was anything < PS2 equals failure or anything < market leader can't sustain good sales long term, you're wrong.

 

  You are correct it is not leading cause of the WII, it MAY pass the 360 but that dosent mean much since it may take it 3-4 years to do and it wont be a signficant margin. It has been shown historically that a console life span is 5-6 years why do you think they make a new one every 5-6 heck even the PS2 did?
