Why the PS3 will not last long, let alone 10 years.

They said it was to stay for 10 years, when they were losing $200 a console.

I doubt their motive will have changed now the loss has been significantly reduced.

A lot has changed since the PS3 was launched. I will be suprised if it makes it to 2013.

If SONY start to make profits, their is no reason why they cant do with it... what they did with the PS2.

PS4 will probably be on the market by 2012/13... but dont expect to see PS3 suddenly just die like the Xbox did.

If being the keyword. Sony is stuck between a rock and a hard place. If they cut the price they will sell more consoles, but then they will be losing more money. The PS3 will most likly not see any kind of profit or a few years if at all.

 

The PS3 will be killed off as fast as possible, just like the xbox and cube were. There is no reason for sony to support the PS3 if its not making them money and its still in 3rd place. History poves this statement correct.

 

They are already making money on the 499 console, and are only 40 dollars under on the 399 console.

You really want to bet they wont make a profit on the consoles for 3+ years? I'll let you take that back right now if you want. the PS3 Slim will cut production costs even more, but sell at the same price... So how bout I say that they will turn a profit on every console sold by December this year baring a price drop and the PS3 Slim being fake. We can make this official if you want.
