... 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. 

Stop being so pretentious. You're going to be one of those that will just argue and argue. I will try anyway and explain.

First of all yes they proved they can do a 10 year life span because they, well they did it. Like with the PS1 and PS2. When they prove they can do a 10 year cycle you say the market conditions let them BUT THEY STILL DID. Then go on as if the PSP and PS3 have died already and have failed to do a 10 year life cycle.

You are right about the PSP, thats why i said it's the only one likely  not to reach the 10 life cycle I told you this. PSP was plagued at the start with problems and piracy. never sold much games but it's still selling 7 years later. But yes there is has no support for it, just japan, because thats the only place where sw sells.

Yes they do have the  so called"slim" but I believe it's a redesign to rapidly reduce the production costs. Thats why I said I dont believe they have released the slim so less of your smug comments. I say this because traditionally the slim is alot slimmer that the original (this slim seem to concentrate on making it cheaper rather than reducing size), also the slims cost is a lot lower at retail and usually the slim come later in the consoles life cycle. And no I don't expect a price drop or a, super slim anytime soon. I also didnt say this. They will do it when the sales start to dip. They just come off the back of their best 2 years so why price drop?

Your post is full of wrong. Sorry but you go on about the market. What do you mean? the market is at it's best its ever been even through recession. It's the first time that 3 consoles have survived side by side. And the 360 and ps3 show no sign of giving up. You also act like you know about reducing the size of consoles. how do you kno they struggle to reduce the size? I think there will be a super slim in the future and the PS3 retail price will be sub $100 in the future. PS3 showing not even a little sign of not reaching 10 years.

So to conclude All their consoles have or well on the way to reaching 10 years. Except the PSP. Which is what I said in the first place. BYE!
