| Netyaroze said: MS recently said that the new Slim Xbox was beeing released in the middle of the total Lifespan and that the Xbox360 still has 5 years time. (Hopefully this will end this 10 year plan joke since MS is on the same plan as Sony) PS3 is still at 299. And I doubt this was the last PS3 Slim. 5 Mln (or 6 if it goes really well for MS next months) is not that much if we are in the middle (like MS and Sony said) of this gen. The Industry cant afford the high development cost increase which is coming with a new platform yet. So they most certainly are going to support PS3 and Xbox360 a while longer. Like Sony said its a Marathon and not a Sprint. Nothing is set in Stone yet.

I agree with what you've said here, and theres also the fact that PS3 has only just started to see a profit. and the key thing here is that the Wii is selling better and the top Wii software is selling well as well. so its definitly not about hardware power.
so at the moment i think the 360 could outsell PS3 this year, but i dont see it selling at the same level after that. M$ want Kinect to increase the lifespan by 5 years. maybe it will work. but as a core gamer i'm more interested in the next 5 or 6 years with the PS3. imo the console isnt going anywhere for the next years and the games are just going to power through.
