Of course Sony's 10 year plan failed.. They thought they'd be having a little under PS2-like success but over a longer period so that eventually they'd have as much or an even larger install base. The PS3 will last around 7 or maybe even 8 years only because Sony will push it for as long as they possibly can and it has a lot of room on it's price..

However that said, they will release a console in 2012, i'm sure of that.. 10 year plan doesn't mean no console for 10 years, PS3 came out in the 6th year of the PS2's life and that console is very much what Sony aimed for with their 10 year plan.

yah thats right ps3 may bot go full 10 years but going 8 years is still not a failure!!n sony may also release the next console in 2012 but i hope they release it in 2013 n be smart about it

 

Well it's a failure in that it wasn't 10 years of a 10 year plan but no in terms of system life, 8 years is by no means a failure.

However I think the PS3 will end up being a failed product by the end of its life as it will probably only barely break even if it does.. It does have one thing going for it though, it helped Blu-Ray win the system war with HD-DVD and perhaps the profits from Blu-Ray will end up outweighing the losses from the PS3.

Sony just need a clearer business plan and create a product for the consumers not a product for the hardware fanatics. Doesn't mean they shouldn't strive for the best but they should know their limits.
