I just wanted to know if anyone can answer that question.....cause i know that the n-gage failed, the dreamcast failed....the only thing im scared about is that if i buy a PS3 third parties would drop support and im left with a system like the dreamcast...can someone answer??

Buy a console based on games you WANT to play, that are available NOW. A console should NOT be a long term investment, that you have to plan for, thinking that something may could out in a year or two that you want to play.

There were some great games for the DC (esp. Soul Calibre), and I almost ended up with one.

None of the current gen consoles will "fail" - Im pretty certain the DC is the last console that will ever happen to (unless a new player enters the hardware market).
