You're struggling here arent you?. Bluray if it really takes off will ensure a long ps3 lifespan. That is unless they keep cutting the price and rely on software for profits, then it would be unsustainable.

I can buy a Bluray player for half the cost of a PS3. Why would that help prolong the PS3 life-span? I am not struggling at all. It appears your argument is floundering though.

You are struggling. In regard prices we're going on about  3, 4, 5 years into the future not now.

In the future? No one buys gaming consoles for media players except at the beginning of a generation. Five years from now Blu Ray players will be $50. Though I don't really know why I am responding after you said this:

"Only Sony consoles have continued to sell into the next generations, and thats because they've been future proofed to an extent. The same will happen with the ps3 with bluray being the biggest factor."
