In 2011 at 32nm process node a console manufacturer will be able to release a console which is at least 4x more powerful than the current generation of consoles on half as much silicon. Progress is always going to happen and people won't understand why such power is needed until it actually starts being used.

 

It is possible that by the end of 2011 (and certainly by the end of 2012) we could be working with a 22nm process which would mean that you could produce something 4 times as powerful as the PS3/XBox 360 at the cost to manufacture the Wii.

If the PS4 launches on 2011-2014 then it'll be in line with the 10 year plan for the PS3 a Sony always supports their consoles after launching a new one.

 

 

 

How many games has Sony released for the PS2 in 2008? How many Sony published games are going to be released for the PS2 in 2009?

Sony doesn't support their console much past the release of their next generation system, third party publishers continued to support their consoles because of their massive install base.

It wouldnt benefit any console manufacture to FULLY support there old console because what incentive would there be for you to upgrade to the new one.  But third party game makers will support both because as you mention large install base.
