But it was older. I think the lifespan will be roughly the same, but the advanced tech means the PS3 can still cope with some of the advancements in game development nowadays. 

Yeah, nah. That's goal post shifting, let's not do that.

Xbox 360 2005 - 2016. (11 years.)
Playstation 3 2006 - 2016. (10 years). Multiple countries it was stopped in 2015. (9 years.)

Ironically here in Australia I can still buy brand new Xbox 360's, but not Playstation 3's from multiple retailers, despite the 360's production having ceased.

And let's be honest, the PS3 wasn't that *far* ahead of the 360 in terms of visuals, Halo 4 proved that, tons of multiplats were better on the 360 as well.

My original intention was pointing the difference between both out, so I haven't changed the goal posts. 

The difference between the time they were on the market and the life expectancy of each console are two different things. 

As for perfomance... Programming issues... 

(Edit: relative lifespan).
