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

[SaviorX]

Smashchu, I'm sorry that these Sony guys (with the exception of the honorable Squilliam) jumped on you like a pack of hyenas.

At least you have the fact that I believed you to give you comfort.

I hear the same excuses coming from you guys all the time. Great games COMING. Where are they now? Stop preaching about how Sony's software will miraculously turn hardware sales around. 70m Lifetime? Please. You act like MS will just be twiddling its thumbs while Sony tries to recuperate from their financial beating.

Then, the price cut. 300 or 200, what makes you think 4 years after the gen starts, a price cut will just boost sales to near Wii levels? A price cut usually does boost HW, but this is 2010 we are taking about where this will take place. Consumer interest may be ninexistent at that point. Did a price drop help the Gamecube?

And it is funny that you guys somehowcooked up a theory that the Wii will somehow lose 3rd party support? In this "economy" that has "put a knife in third years sales" (as Squilliam put it") how in the world would devs just start making games for the most taxing and expensive console on the market?

Smashchu said hardware is supported by software, and ho couldn't be any more right in this case. What game does Sony have that all consumers may want to play, not Kojima aficionados or former PS2 owners?
They don't have a game over 5m yet, and until Gran Turismo comes out, they may not ever. Killzone 2 will take several more months to touch 2m, not nearly enough to help Sony at all. People complain about the Wii library, but that thing sells everything.

PS3 will be dead in the water before 10 years are up.
