The PS3 is not the PS2

Kwaad said: Darc Requiem said: Erik is right. People keep touting the 10 year life span for the PS3. If Sony is in third place this gen, the PS3 will not have a 10 year life span. If its in Second place it most likely won't either. The first place system almost always has an extended life span. Third party developers have a hard time leaving behind the industry's largest userbase. Honestly I don't see any of the three current gen consoles having a 10 year life span at this point. The 360 will probably have a 6 or 7 year life span. The Wii* and PS3 will most likely have a 5 year lifespan. *I don't see the Wii going beyond 5 years unless it absolutely dominates the market in a NES/PS1/PS2/GB/GBA/DS type fashion. Why do you think the 360 will have that long of a life? their already scrapping it. And launching a new model. It's been 15 months. You think it can go another 60?

that's pretty funny... The only thing being scrapped is the PS3's BC. Not only is Sony releasing a newer model PS3, but it's actually worse then the original. I think thats a first in console history...
