Okay so you are saying that the PS3 will only last 3 and 1/2 years on the market?  Dude for real you need to re-think your prediction.  In the first paragraph you said think logically about what your saying.  Well it seems like you didn't take your own advice.  I'm not trying to talk trash or anything, but seriously why would sony bring out a new system next summer when all of there big games are coming out at the same time for the PS3. 

2010 would be 4 years, not 3 and a half.

@Spoon!: The last paragraph is bolded becuase it way though it was bolded, and I could not change it back (I pasted your name and it happens whenever I do that).

While I'll make a full responce to your post, understand the purpose is that inversors hold power of a corperation. Money is power, and these guys are the suppliers of said money. They sway a lot of desicions becuase they want to see their investment to have some kind of return. If the PS3 is never profitable, then they will not back a PS4. R&D has large cost that can take a year or two before seeing profit. A PS4 will not happen if the PS3 doesn't show to have some use to the company. Right now, it isn't since it is bleeding money.
