Sony consoles have had increasing lifecycles. The PS1 was on the market for 5 years before the PS2 launched (and 6 years afterwards), the PS2 for 6 years before the PS3 (and three years afterwards to date), so will the PS3 be on the market for 7 years without a successor?
A while back, Sony said that they intended to launch the PS9 in 2072.

Do you believe this? I say it's possible, but I doubt it. I predict:
PS1: 1995
PS2: 2000
PS3: 2006
PS4: 2013
PS5: 2020
PS6: 2028
PS7: 2036
PS8: 2045
PS9: 2055
PS10: 2066
PS11: 2078
PS12: 2090
PS Century (Or PS 2100, they'll want to avoid PS13): 2100.
This is, of course, assuming that Sony continues to create consoles for the next century. What do you think?
