I'm pretty sure that Sony's plan -- whatever it was -- was to outsell the Wii in years 1 & 2, not be a distant 3rd and losing ground to both of its competitors.
So...
The real point is, Sony's off their original plan and have been for a long time. It doesn't matter whether the PS3 is technically "on the market" for 8, 9, 10 years, or whatever. I mean, if they decide that they might have a better shot at getting their game back by releasing the PS4 sooner than later -- if they think they'll make more money that way -- then they'll do it in a heartbeat.
