It'll be a while before they stop supporting it. Even if it's selling just 20-25K world wide each week for a while, those are still significant figures and bring in not only revenue but profit. Then there's software to consider. It makes sense to support for a quite a few more years but simply on a smaller scale. If I'm not mistaken, the snes wasn't discontinued until 2003 and it was first released in 1990. PS2 is selling at a much better sales curve than the SNES so one would expect it to last longer than the SNES' 13 years if anything.
