Their motive is still the same, but their losses have increased substantially. They lossed 1.7 billion for 2008's fiscal year.

So the losses haven't been significantly reduced. They are still losing money on every PS3 sold. Sony has already predicted that they will have another $1 billion in losses for $2009 as well. So chances of the PS3 going 10 yrs might be slim. Sony may relaunch the PS3 as a Slim model before that time and at a much cheaper price. $300 or less. Still Blu-Ray is much more expensive then DVD right now, so a Slim PS3 probably won't happen until 2yrs from now.
