In Sonys eyes what was best case scenario?

PS2 owners massively shift to PS3 creating the anaylists' expected PS3 sales overdrive.

 

Although that is admitedly what they expected, they threw that plan out the window long ago.  A large portion of those loyal PS2 fans bought an XBOX 360 because of the PS3 launch delays.  So I don't think that Sony expects a mass exodus of PS2 users, because that already happened, and a lot of those users chose Wii and the 360.

Sony's only hope in my opinion is to drag their console out for a very long haul, and just hope they can continue to get the support of quality 3rd party developers in the mean time. 

And that really is expecting a lot if Sony's "10-year plan" is actually their strategy for success. 

Sony's has an uphill battle because they are way behind in the race for space in the living room, and are battling this upward slant in a very poor market environment.
