Does the original PS3 have an pre determined life cycle??

Ok, before you label this as flaimbait, may I just start off by saying I am a very Proud supporter of Sony and their products and they normally all are so reliable, but recently I have noticed lots of failure posts about original PS3's failing.

Unfortunatley, quite a few origianl PS3's have been failing from either YLOD or Blu-ray drive failures, which makes me think more and more about wheter maybe Sony had put a pre determined lifecycle on these things, as I never have had any problems myself before and I have always looked after my consoles, but even my PS3 is having major problems and I am replacing it with a Slim.

If indeed Sony did do this, they would know for sure they would get extra sales as a boost from failures, anyway feel free to discuss.

So why exactly would Sony force you to spend 300$ on console they are not making any profit 2 or 3 years after losing more than $100 for selling first one to you ? Please give me at least one logical answer how they benefit from it (instead of you having $300 to spend on games which would be pure profit for them).

the only way i could see them benefitting, is obviously more sales and to finally secure that second position, I only said what if, nowhere at all did I actually accuse Soony of doing so, and I would never do so, also like I have said previously, even if they do lose some money on each second PS3 sold, it is better to lose some then lose everything they have ever poured into PS3, do you understand now??

Edit: I apologise if i have offended any of you, it was not meant to offend, just meant as a mature discussion ok
