PS3 Until 2018?

this post is utter crap. there's no way a console can last that long, especially in this age.

and it's not up to Sony. even if Sony wants to keep it around forever, if the third parties and the consumers don't support it, they'll be forced to make a new console.

and that part about developers only scratching the surface on the ps3 is a worthless argument. even if it is true, it's not going to affect anything.

 

I agree.  Afterall, there were companies still creating games for the NeoGeo up until a few years ago.  It didn't matter, because the sales of the software didn't make a ripple on the gaming market.

You can continue to sell whatever you want, but unless there is a steady stream of quality games for it, it won't matter.

And the old arguement that developers are "only scratching the surface" is starting to get a little old.

It's either not as good as they thought/said, or the cell-technology is too difficult and not cost effective for 3rd party developers.  Either way, it's starting to look as though Sony 800-lb. gorilla might actually just be a 100-lb. chimpanzee.
