He tried to prove me wrong by saying," Wait. You realize that both the Wii and 360 also update their firmware on a continual basis, right?" This says it all. His trying to make a point by saying, if the PS3 is able to survive that long so will the 360 and Wii. When I never said anything involving the Wii or 360.
Here I thought people were saying , "Graphics don't matter!" What happened to that?
Blue-Ray wont be selling in 2016? Dvds sell today in 2008...

I can't speak for anyone else, but I tend to think that an improvement in graphics are no longer the primary reason why someone upgrades their console; and it is the overall improvement offered by a console which attracts consumers (which includes user-interface, ai, physics, graphics, etc.) ... The processing power difference is just the easiest to explain
Besides that, Blu-Ray is a storage format and has (very) little to do with how impressive the graphics of a game are ... consider that the XBox 360 produces graphics at the same level as the PS3 using DVD rather than Blu-Ray.

You stated, "The problem is that consumers will still need to be interested in the PS3 after the next generation of consoles are released, and I have never seen a single firmware update which has produced any public interest in any product." I said, Blue-ray won't be selling in 2016? What I meant by this was that there are reasons for people to buy a PS3 even in that time.I'll assure you Blue-Ray isn't going anywhere in the next 8 years. I could be right or I could be wrong. Only time will tell.

Just because Blu-Ray continues to be a viable movie format for many years does not mean that it will help sell the PS3 after the next generation begins ... From (roughly) 2011 it is likely that the PS3 will be 2 to 4 times the price of a stand alone Blu-Ray player, and it is highly likely that all other gaming systems will include a Blu-Ray player because the cost to include it will be minimal.

Next Nintendo console going Blue-Ray? No point of arguing with you.
