I love how he talks about the importance of technology for the PS3 games, then says how futuristic the console was at launch and then patently ignores the newer technologies out there. I also love how he says 25-30% of the console life is done, love the hyperbole because im still doubting they will be releasing games that make it 'the year of the PS3' in 2014 because they'll have a PS4 by then.

if anything that would be the thing sony is not known to ignore they have the

ps2

the psp

and the PS3 already on the market all at the same time, they are not ignoring it, one thing is would it matter even if the next ps4 come's out if the PS3 happen's to get the same game as the PS4 , yes with lower resolution maybe less textures, but if indeed the PS3 would get the game also would that matter to many people as long as they get to play the game.

just look at the ps3 and xbox360 ver of the Final Fantasy XIII even with the slight thing's that someone can nitpick about the xbox360 ver does it matter many people will still buy the game. and if people keep getting game's some gamer's will still be happy, even though the PS2 was dated and the number of game's that released for japan were greater than the number of game's released for the PS2 in other region's were less the PS2 still sold well even today it's still selling. an that's with the ps2 region locked, the ps3 is not, so there is an advantage of no region lock going for the PS3 over the PS2.

 

What support is the PS2 getting from Sony developers? You can expect the same support from Sony that far into its life too. They are ignoring the PS3 and they are barely supporting the PSP. It should be getting twice the number of first party games its getting presently given the size of their 1st party and the fact that they take 1/4 the resources of a full PS3 games.

When it comes to a next generation console, a console which is released today for the same price as the PS3 probably would have a fairly significant edge in terms of performance even if it cost the same to produce.

huh? have we been on 2 completely seperate playstation 3 system's?

it's only 3 year's into the life cycle of the PS3. right off the bat one of the big staple's was the "ps3 has not game's" can that realy be said about the PS3 today?

come on do you realy think that sony is ignoring the PSP or the PS3?

In my opinion your just being rather silly.

there is the problem is it not  where is the project resources put forth, we do not know where all their developer's are at on project's ? for all we know some may have had to take a break after working on game's like Killzone 2 and needed the break, the developer's are not cow's they just cannot churn out butter at the drop of a hat..

we do not know, Sony is not Microsoft or Nintendo, trying to compare each developer's from each company are pointless , because each and ever developer is not the same.

that is if the next generation system would be released for the same price?

even Nintendo charged more for the DSi over the DS lite, the PSPGo cost's more than the PSP, the XBOX360 elite cost's more than the xbox360 arcade.

even though it may cost the same to produce would it be the same price?

I would say not very likely.

PS1 -> PS2 they killed 1st party support for the PS1 after the PS2 was released.

PS2 -> PS3 they killed 1st party support for the PS2 after the PS3 was released.

They have always kept the systems on the market and cashed in but they have never really supported them. So for the same reason why people say the PS3 will last 10 years I will say the PS3 will get no support for those last few years. If 3rd parties don't oblige then the system is dead. I don't call a crapload of singstar titles and a few other titles anything like support. Their #1 selling, still in "10 year lifecycle" PS2 is getting hardly anything. If thats the precedent then they'll drop the PS3 like a sack of bricks as soon as the PS4 is out.
