What would happen in the console war if the PS3 got discontinued?

Anybody want to take me up on a bet that the PS3 will not be discontinued till at least two years into the next generation? I say 2012-2014.

I think the odds are not very high it will be discontinued, a few days ago I said less than 5% though now I'd put them a bit higher than that (not much though).

However, this is still off-topic.

@WiiStation360: That's true, but the console market was doing fine for a while with only two consoles. But of course one of the three dropping in the middle of the generation would still be a big deal to gamers.
