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.


PS1 1994-2006

PS2 2000 - present day

ps3 2006 - present day

psp  2005 - present day

I don't get your point. You say that Sony don't decide but they make these claims on there knowledge of the market and how long they plan on supporting that console. They proved that they can do it, twice with PS1 and PS2. The PS3 Just had it's two best years halfway through its 10 year plan and when sales do drop they will release a slim PS3 (no we havent had slim yet) for $99- $150.

The only console that looks likely to not make the 10 plan is the PSP but they still had good intentions of honoring the 10 life plan. But we still don't know their plans for PSP.


... good grief now I understand why Doogle is your avatar. Sony didn't prove they could do it. The market conditions a were such that they could do it. The PSP and PS3 have been no where near as successful in sales as the PS1 or PS2. 

ALSO how long they plan on supporting the console? Well in that case the PSP had a 7 year span. Sony have released no games this year and as far as I know have no plans to.

Also they already did a slim PS3, it's even called the slim. Likewise reducing the size of the PS3 isn't anywhere near as easy as with the PS1 or PS2, what with the issues they have. They have also already done HUGE price drops in the last few years. Don't go expecting a new revision or further price drops anytime soon. 

Oh and killerzX I know. You just took my own post and replied it back to me. It has been 7 years 5 months in Japan. Worldwide it varies though and everywhere else is less than that. In the EU it hasn't even hit 7 years yet. 



Turkish says and I'm allowed to quote that: Uncharted 3 and God Of War 3 look better than Unreal Engine 4 games will or the tech demo does. Also the Naughty Dog PS3 ENGINE PLAYS better than the UE4 ENGINE.
