Their (Sony's) 10 year plan was a failure. |
atleast say it after the 10 years are over
|
Sonys next console release wasn't supposed to happen until 10 years after the launch of the PS3 (Not 5 years).. So they cuold recover the losses of the R+D, production, etc.
|
i dont think you realize what the 10 year life cycle is
|
Do you know what Sonys 10 year plan (is) was? Releasing the PS4 now, was not part of it.
|
yes it was, or they wouldnt have started work on the ps4 5 years ago. the life of the ps3 doesnt depends on when the ps4 launches. its really that simple

Good find. but that quote happened in 06 before microsofts success put a kink into the system, they were forced to adapt. but your point is taken sony initial plan was to release the ps4 much later, it was one of the arguements to justify their huge price point. Microsoft changed the rules to them game.
|
Um no. The PS3 10 year lifespan means the PS3 will be supported for 10 years. That's even what Kaz said. It has nothing to do with when the next console launches.
Look at PS1 and PS2 as proof.

Idk, did you read the quote, when he says "We're not going to ask the consumers to suddenly buy another PlayStation console in five years time, and basically have their investment go by the wayside. So for all those reasons, I think at $599 we're offering a very good value to the consumers." kinda alludes that the ps4 was going to be released near the end of that lifecyle, idk maybe the eight year or so, looking at the ps2 which had 13 years or so, you would thing the high tech ps3 with bluray, cell and all the bells and whistles would get support that at least match that.

Kaz was directly comparing the Ps3 with previous playstation products and their stragety with those products...
