what? ever?

what a ridiculous statement

of course there will be a 4... so they are going to say, skip 4... 3 is just that good... the next PS is the PS5!?

I presume they meant that the ps3 will go up againt the next wii and next xbox. So the PS3 will have to compete for 2 gens?... then... well.. I guess sony better prepare to be slaughtered.

It is a very solid machine, wouldn't MS and Nintendo be playing catch up in terms of hardware performance?

Whatever Nintendo puts out in 2-3 years could easily outdo the PS3 even at a $250 price point. If Microsoft follows a similar path as it did before (think powerful console), then it will destroy the PS3s capabilities at $400.

Heck, the PS3 (nor X360) really even do HD. Most games are rendered below 720p and then upscalled before output, and very few games can even manage 1080p. The next round of systems should be able to easily do 1080p with almost every game.

Besides the technical differences of the systems, the PS3 will be well into decline mode and won't be able to support sales. Looking at the past only the market leader has successfully stayed on the market once the next generation begins. 3rd parties will move on and won't support the PS3 as they'll be busy supporting the current market leader (Wii) and the newer real HD systems.

I agree with the last section of your post. good point.
