Gaming - PS3's future - View Post

I dont think that the console will be canned, but there is a chance that third party support will wane in later years.

Its called the N64, Dreamcast, Gamecube effect.

It sucks but its down to commercial viability of a product.

One problem that the PS3 has introduced is a large number of non gaming owners. They have bought the console as a Blu Ray player and not as a Games machine. They have never bought a game and probably never will. A total waste if you ask me.

However it means third party devs are scratching their heads at why blockbuster titles simply dont ship in the same ratio as games for the PS3's chief competitor.

I would say if you want to get one go ahead. Sony will always support the console and they will not let the machine become totally unsupported.
