Intresting thread. However I see three (fictional) scenarios how the PS3 could reach a 10 year life.

1st Scenario: There will be no PS4. The PS3 will be Sonys last console. But it will last 10 years. (Maybe even longer.)

2nd Scenario: There will be a PS4 with no backward-compatibility. The PS3 will still be sold to play PS3-Games with it.

3rd scenario: Sony will not release a new console, but upgrade the PS3 with firmware updates and additional motion controllers into a PS3.5.

You forgot the most likely scenario:

The PS4 will essentially be a faster PS3 (faster CPU and GPU & extra memory) with motion controls and perfect backwards compatibility that will be called PS4 but essentially be what the Wii is to the GC...



PSN ID: T_Gears

End of 2009 ltd sales:

Wii = 67-68m

X360 = 38-39m

PS3 = 34-35m

Prediction: The PS3 will surpass the 360 on weekly sales after it drops to $299 on all regular weeks (no big releases).
