I think Ken was the first to mention the 10 year lifespan, this was before the PS3 launched and that's what it's designed for with Blu-Ray and the Cell processor.
I think what the Wii truly demonstrates, is that this is more than feasible with effort. 8 years from now the PS3 game engines will be a lot more advanced and optimised than is currently the case. It will have an even far more awesome game library, as the Wii demonstrates the PS3 can survive with newer higher specced consoles by then. The Wii controller can be used on the PS3 already without problem, they could do something similar but more advanced like adding virtual reality support or other stuff like that. I wouldn't be surprised if the PS3 would last even longer.
