Yes. PS3 will be supported for a minimum of 10 years, this does not rule out the PS4 coming before 10 years. This is what SONY means by 10-year life cycle. 

PS2 was still supported after PS3 came out. 

PS3 will still be supported after PS4 comes out until at least 2016.

How do you know that what Sony means?

Because PS2 had a "10 year life cycle", yet the PS3 came out in 6 years. Games still came out for PS2 for a minimum of 10 years though. Same applies to PS3. They wouldn't make up some arbitrary number since a new console release depends on the state of the industry, technological advancements and competitors releasing their consoles. You can't decide 10 years in advance and Sony never have.
