Intro
i want to keep it short so i will say that PS3 launch is known to everyone and even diehard PS fans are not going to call it a success. Many assumed that Sony will exit from this high risk, low margin business. But so far they have not only remained in the race but they are doing ok. i will say its NTS/G state. (not too sorry & neither too good state). Anyway, leaving past and present aside, my point is that why PS3 is going to survive the longest or more than PS2.

Reason 1: Its The technology 
PS2 was launched in 2000 with DVD Drive but at that time DVD drive was pretty common and so within few yrs (2 i think) BD consortium was formed.  At the time of PS2 launch DVD was well rooted in the market. But PS3 which has the BD drive was no where in the market. So it was actually PS3 which introduced BD and also created a market for it. So the technology PS3 has got should help it to remain easily for longer period in the market. 

This is not true.  When the PS2 came out is was the cheapest DVD player out there and it helped shift from VHS to DVD especially in Japan.

Reason 2. Games
When PS2 launched all the its major IPs franchises like GTA, GT, FFXIII launched within 2 yrs. or around 2 yrs. But many of these major franchises for PS3 has yet to be released. GT and FFXIII and God OF War III. In my view only 1 major IP has been released on PS3 yet which is MGS4.

Oh there have been other major IP's but they haven't been any good. Lair anyone??  Not to mention 360 has stolen a lot of the 3rd party thunder.
