You realize the 10 year plan was started with the PS1 right? The PS1's production was ended in 2006... the PS2's will end probably a year before the PS4 is out or maybe a touch sooner. The Ps3 will end running up to the PS5. Its an never ending cycle.

Sony looks at it this way. Sell the new console at a lose while the old console gains them profit. Once the old console becomes worthless and costs more to manufacture than sell, can it.

He has a point though. This is the first losing console from Sony, so the old rules don't necessarily apply. The PS1 and PS2 maintained their appeal for a long time, with their huge software libraries filled with exclusives. How is the PS3 going to maintain that appeal for 10 years?

It's not just about Sony's plans, it's much more about customer's decisions.
