The PS3 will be on store shelves for 7 more years. It will sell for 7 more years. They said the PS Brand was profitable.

Sony opperates differently than Nintendo. Its far to early to say whether or not it ends up as a failure for them.

I consider a console where, I chose games like wii fit plus and rabbids go home as my contenders for game of the year to be a failure.

Personally, it's just an opinion.

PS3 will sell for 10 more years?  Who will buy it?  What companies will support it?  Companies don't decide how long a product sells, consumers do, sales and profits do,  and currently the only console with any chance at longevity is the Wii.

 

The Wii will be off the shelves in less than 2 years. It has absolutely nothing left for it besides nintendo first party games. There is absolutely nothing left to look forward to for it in terms of 3rd party games.

Developers don't even want to support it anymore as it has generally been a loss for them in terms of profit. The Wii was last place for profit for a number of big publishers this year.

I'm not saying it's a failure, it's obviously not. But its audience isn't buying software that doesn't have nintendo strapped to it.

The Wii is an amazing machine, but even with an upgrade it will still not be as powerful as a ps3. The PS3 and the 360 will far outlast the wii in terms of shelf life.

Why does any of that matter, the only concerns for how long it lasts is one, whether it makes Nitnendo a profit, it does, and whether it sells the most, it does, so why would its shelf life be affected by third parites, if people keep buying it more than PS3 and 360 and it make Nintendo a bunch of profit, its not going anywhere.

You don't seem to get it consumers, profits and sales are all that matter to how long a console lasts.  Wii has them, PS3 doesn't
