What do you guys think? I think if this is the 10 year plan Sony has made - I love it, whether it works or fails, you've got to respect them for risking it and trying a new tactic.

1. It wont be the most powerful console if MS and ninty release new systems.

2. Dedciated players will be far under $150 by 2010-2012

3. Then why wouldnt they pick up a 360 or Wii? Remember that the PS2 outsold the 360 during its first year on the market.

 

Anyways, what the 10 year plan meant wasn't what you just laid out. They meant it in the same vein that the PS1 had a ten year life, or how the PS2 is nearing 10 years. That is to say you replace the system in your primary market and sell the previous one as a discount system all the while you can continue to push the older system in undeveloped markets.
