I agree, I don't see how making it to 2016 in the retail market is entirely possible. The recession has really stuck a knife in right at the third year mark and all the systems are unexpectedly down this generation. However I do see it making it to the 6-7 year mark at least in software. As for the hardware, well thats as much up to consumers as it is Sony and really somewhere in between 5-6 years from launch is ensured and the rest is earnt by performance the PS3 hasn't yet demonstrated.
Tease.
