Forums - Sony - SONY : PS3 Will have a "MINIMUM" Lifespan Of 10 YEARS.....50 Million Consoles Sold Is JUST THE START!!

 

Will PS3 have a 10 year Lifespan at the minimum?

TROLLLLLLLLLL NO! 56 27.72%
 
Yes it will, and I will l... 17 8.42%
 
Yes it will, with strong ... 129 63.86%
 
Total:202

It'll last 10 years, PS1 lasted 10 years, PS2 has lasted 11 years and counting, PSP has lasted 7 years and counting, PS3 has lasted 5 years and counting. My guess is that PS4 will launch in 2013 which would require PS3 to survive for 3 years to hit the 10 year mark. A feat rather easy when looking at the history of PlayStation platforms.

I'm a little skeptical, but I hope it turns out to be true :)



 

It should be fine. It has future proof tech such as blu-ray and 3D.

Ni ellos se la creen, Wii U, XBOX 3 y hasta su PS4 (que tendrán que sacar gracias a que se les adelantó Nintendo) no le dejarán vender más.

Nor do they believe it, U Wii, Xbox 3 and PS4 until (they will have to get through to them ahead of Nintendo) will not let you sell more.

 

Translated so everyone can see what he said!



It's certainly possible.

2 or 3 more years as the primary console.

And then 3 or 2 more years as the secondary console.

IT depends what they mean by 10 years.... 10 years w/o launching ps4? doubt it... 10 years selling small amounts like the ps2 has being doing since the launch of ps3? yes, i can picture that



i can watch blu ray,dvd,stream,download films,record and watch tv plus other internet shit and also play a library of games and the price will be cheaper,its a no brainer and will carry on selling around the world if marketed right
