That's no reason to avoid buying a PS3. There's tons of good content on the PS3 and more yet to come. Even if PS4 gets announced at E3 this year for release in 2011 (not gonna happen) PS3 only becomes obsolete TO YOU if you buy a PS4 at launch. If you waited this long to think about getting a PS3 then you can surely wait a year or 2 after PS4 comes out before you pick one up. That way you can easily get 4-5 years of gaming out of your PS3. Also once a new system comes out all the games for the previous system get cheaper, even new releases. There are plenty of advantages to sticking with the "old" system in the early stages of a new console generation. Not least of which is avoiding the inevitable higher hardware failures of the first release batches, compared to latter batches.
PS3 can play PS2 games: All PS2 Singstar games are playable on PS3, as long as you have a PS3 Singstar game. OK OK I know it's not in your list of favourite genres, but it's still a form of backwards compatibility with PS2.
