Ni ellos se la creen, Wii U, XBOX 3 y hasta su PS4 (que tendrán que sacar gracias a que se les adelantó Nintendo) no le dejarán vender más.

Nor do they believe it, U Wii, Xbox 3 and PS4 until (they will have to get through to them ahead of Nintendo) will not let you sell more.

 

Translated so everyone can see what he said!

Your translation isn't quite good :P. He said something like:

"They don't even believe it themselves. Wii U, Xbox 3 and even their own PS4 (which they'll have to launch thanks to Nintendo launching earlier than expected) won't allow them to sell any more (PS3s)"

 

That's pretty silly since the PS1 kept selling even though the PS2, Gamecube and Xbox were around and the PS2 keeps selling until this day even though the Xbox 360 was released in 2005 and PS3 and Wii in 2006... the new consoles shouldn't stop PS3 sales just like they didn't stop PS1 and PS2 from selling.

Yes but the PS1 and PS2 dominated those generations. PS3 hasn't. You didn't see the XBox, Gamecube, Dreamcast or N64 continue selling far into the next generation.

Sony will only ship new PS3s for as long as stores are buying them. I don't see that lasting the full 10 years.

I know, but they'll probably sell crappy numbers in it's 9th and 10th year... like 1 million or less but it could still be sold. Let's say PS4 releases in 2013, that'd be 7 years already and only 3 more to go... the PS3 could still live with PSVita ports for a while until it dies. They could sell 15m PS3s in 2011, 11m in 2012, 7m in 2013, 4m in 2014, 2m in 2015 and 1m in 2016... as long as they don't decide to stop producing PS3s and pull them out of the market before reaching the 10 years they could make it. I don't know if they'll stop making them when they see the low sales (if sales drop like that) and decide it's not worth it anymore.

Who knows =P
