When Sony says "10 year lifespan" they mean it about as much as they mean "4d graphics" or "playing the PS2 feels the same as jacking into the Matrix".
Commercially succesful consoles have a long lifespan. This is not a specific feature of the Playstations, but rather an effect of the first two being so succesful. The scenario of the PS3 staying as a viable platform for games occurs in the same universe as it selling over 100 million copies. Sony still claim both are happening, but we know better by now.
endimion: Oh right, it's not like Ubisoft is an internal studio of Microsoft's. It would be different if it was Bungie saying the 360 is superior, or Naughty Dog praising the PS3, but I suppose Ubi is fairly neutral on this.
