So when nintendo's new console is released, the wii will stop selling? Also I doubt the ps3 will last 10 years.

You are both right and wrong, depending on the way it should last so long. Being an "hardcore console" in no way PS3 could last 10 years as top Sony model, but it could last 5 to 7 years as top, then, after price reductions and PS4's release, last another 3 years as low end, like PS2 is doing. In 5 years, when PS3 will be 7, its components should cost really little money, like do now PS2's ones.
Obviously the same could easily happen to Wii when Wii2 comes, but as for MS I really don't know, this time they killed their old console little after the new one was born, what they want to do in the future isn't clear, we have only one precedent, it's difficult to draw a pattern, a behaviour, although in the markets where MS is strong, it always tries to kill its old products to make room for the new ones.
