the expect the new system in 4 or 5 year's is because Sony tend's to release a new system mid way point of the current system, though this system is not even iin its midway point yet.

So if the PS3 has a 10 year lifespan and we should expect its successor at the mid-way point and the PS3 is about mid-way through it's 4th year, we should expect it end of next year, by their own definitions. it's not Quite that simple: mid way through it's 4 year every where  the problem is if they do release it would have to be a staggered release because not every region recieved the ps3 at the same time.

give it more time excuse is more valid than you may think, before the previous generation all developemnt was single core in right now the PS3 is a multi-core system, and not just a multi-core that developer's have had year's of experience with.

Uh a number of developers and Sonys own first parties are saying they maxed the system out, don't be naive. saying something is Maxed is not the same as that they the developer  have all the SPE's running all thread's, and that there is no more way's they can optimize the game engine to get better results You can max it's hardware running at the same time but the system will not be 100% fully optimized, which you can never truely do. it wouild take too much time., one only has to read what developer's suckerpunch and naughty dog have to say about that, and I have some experience about that also.

outside of Sony many developer did not have the developemnt kit's until 2006 and 2007,

Baloney.

no it's 100% the truth, did you not se when was the first prototype for the ps3 cell processor shown jun 2005!

this in 2005

"Kutaragi surprised the crowd by revealing that, to date, only 450 PS3 dev kits have been shipped worldwide."

abnd that does not include when the PS3's cell processor was first released to 3rd parties, the prototype was jun 2005

So devs had it for 18 months before launch, but also didn't have them in 2007? Oh cripes.

"Sony plans to release an additional 200 units in August and 300 more in September, but most developers probably will have to wait until October, when the company will ramp up its production to 3,000 units per month. For the time being though, Kutaragi admitted that the current shortage is a problem. "We've been getting a lot of requests from developers since E3 that they want more development kits for the PS3," he said. "The demand for the kits has gone beyond what we can handle. We've been discussing what we can do about it.""

the had shortages of development kit's

at Uncharted 2, look at sucker punch, insomniac would you say the software they made for the PS3 was pretty good this generation?

They all seem to be filler except for Uncharted 2. No their output has been very poor, suckerpunch and Naughty Dog have made fewer games this gen, only insomniac have made more, but their quality suffered also.

filler? i will just leave it at that, you negative nancy/ just kidding
