Your theory fails here:

Now then, when this happens - the PS3 has basically turned into the PS2

Not in any useful way. It won't have PS2's market share or userbase size, therefore developers won't keep making games for it forever.

Also, the PS2 was the weakest console in terms of graphics. This didn't prevent it from being supported for a long time. Even then it hasn't attained 10 years yet, why will the PS3? Graphics don't matter that much.

 

This isnt correct, when was the last and final Xbox game released? Madden 09. The Xbox was discontinued in 2006. This shows that it took 2 years for all developers to finally kill production for a discontinued system.

As long as Sony keeps a small but steedy userbase with the PS3 after than next PlayStation is released than there will be developers willing to make games. Keep a system alive till its unprofitable than kill it. What is the sense in not making every dime and penny you can?

Technically, yes. The Xbox saw only saw new releases for another couple of months after being discontinued, and then got a grand total of four games in 2007: Curious George, Ratatouille, NCAA Football 08, and Madden 08 (which was the last game released for it prior to Madden 09). So they really killed off production pretty quickly.
