Actually its the 8th year on the market, and believe me on a ww basis the PSP will easily have a 10 year lifecycle The thing is that the Vita killed the PSP in the US while its still doing some decent numbers in EMEA and Japan.

... It was released December 2004 in Japan, March 2005 America and September 2005 EU. Any of those dates means it's at least in it's 7th year or sixth. Either 7 years 5 months for Japan, 7 years 2 months for NA or 6 years 8 months for the EU. So no, not a chance that on a worldwide basis it will have a 10 year cycle.
In Japan it's possible. NA and EU? No way. Even in Japan I would say it's doubtful. It looks like Sony may have already finished releasing games for it. Another 2 years 7 months? Unlikely.
Also I'm pretty sure when you use a winking smiley you should probably check you are right first. Or even look at the numbers.

Who the hell cares?
PSP might last 9 years instead of the stupidely announced 10 year plan, woopidty fucking doo.

If you don't care then why come to a gaming forum? Why enter the thread? The point is that people who believe Sony when it talks about 10 year plans are deluded. Like I said, it is always up to the market to decide that. Will the PS3 have a 10 year span? Possibly but it hasn't even reached it's sixth year yet so has a LONG way to go. However we can pretty much guarantee that when the PS4 is announced and Sony likely again talk about a 10 year plan there will be fools nodding their heads.
