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.
|
The market is completly different than the PS1 and PS2 days IOS and android are in the mix now. How many devs will still be making games for PS3.? Even the price point of the PS4 changes things. (took this from qoute i made to ethonmaz, added ps1). The market has changed since then.

It's different and yet it's the longest generation in history.
Also you're confused in what the 10 year cycle means. The last PS1 game to be released was in 2004, perfectly 10 years after the Japanese launch. The last PS2 game came out only six months ago, 12 years after the launch. That is what the 10 year cycle means. Sony even in your link it states the 10 year cycle was proven with the PS1 yet the PS2 came out 6 years later so why would it be different with the PS3?
