The ps2 you bought at launch still has the same functionality as the ps2 people are buying now because it was not possible to update the functionality of the system without releasing entirely new hardware. Now, fast forward to the ps3 gen. Think of the XMB and its functionality at launch and compare it to what we have now. It feels like we are already using ps4. Someone posted a link that I can't remember now where it was stated in the article that there is still lots of room for updates in the ps3 built in flash drive. They stated that it isn't even up to half way full yet with the massive updates the sytem has gone through. There leaves a lot of hope for the future when this data could be compressible. Add that to the fact that functionality not power has become the new trend and we may have a real long-lasting system on our hands. |
So would the 360 be equivalent to the PS4 since day one since it has had everything the XMB currently has, and more, since launch?
Anyways, there is no way that the PS3 will still be the main Sony console in 2016. They might still sell new consoles, and it will likely still be supported, but there is no way it would be the lead system.
