It goes without saying that a console's predecessor will be released before the end of that console's lifespan. So I do see the PS4 being released before the end of the PS3. But I also see the PS3 still being pushed for some time since they are about to make a profit on the hardware. Why invest so much R&D on a new console when they are about to profit from the PS3 hardware? And with the current economy, all software parties will financially benefit by not having to spend more resources in learning to develop for newer hardware. The projection for the PS3 is 10 years which is understandable because of the success of the PS2. But the PS3 is not quite acheiving the same succes of the PS2at the current rate. But then again ironicly because of the economic turn down, I see the higher potential of a 10 year PS3 lifespan because it would be most cost effecient to push and develop for a product as much as you can to maximize profits. So if it takes the PS4 longer to come out, they so be it. It's make the PS3 more worth the purchase, and it potentially make the PS4 a better system as technology improves over time.
Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.
