Thats what I believe. Does anyone have any good reason to counter that without referencing a 10 year plan?

Retailers and consumers decide how long something remains on the shelves. So if there are next generation consoles competing for shelf space, that shelf space is only going to come out of the lowest selling consoles alotment. It happens every time a generation switch over occours, and there has never been a precedent where 2-3 next generation and 2-3 current generation consoles have been sold at the same time at retail. So why would we face anything different if the same basic reasons behind this are the same? Since the PS3 is the lowest selling console, it will be the first to get kicked to the curb.

 

The recession isn't over yet.  It won't be over in 2010.  By 2012 no one will even hope for the end becase they will hav by then faced reality. The recession will continue for about a decade or so, if we're lucky, and consumer spending will continue to go down as unemployment continues to go up.  In the face of such a horrible economic climate no one will want to release new products until it's absolutely necessary.  For the video game market it is not necessary to release a new wave of products for at least 2-3 years.  Sony continues to support old products after the new product is out.  If there's no need for a PS4 before 2012, there's no way in hell it will lose retail support by then.  In fact, you're ****ing crazy (or is it crazzy?) to make such a suggestion.  Good luck with your new jacket.



You do not have the right to never be offended.
