^PS3 hasnt got a 9 year library Soriku ;)

 

And it won't ever get a library like the PS2's because...

1. The Wii's success WILL make third parties jump ship.
2. 360 keeps getting multiplat games with the PS3.

The PS3 isn't going to last like the PS2. Sony need to focus on next gen and see if they can make a decent profit or else they're screwed a lot more.

 

Actually I see it out lasting PS2, due to SONY wanting to make a decent profit which they will, and Firmware updates to keep it fresh.

 

They cant do it, MS will launch another console and make the PS3 look like the PS3 makes the WII look now.  Heck even the WII will launch another console.  They have 5-7 years max

 most of those third party devs produce shovelware imo

nothing in the near future can make a PS3 look like a wii

You cant really beleive that processor power doubles every two years (Moores Law) so 4 years from know something will be at least 4 times more powerful.  The PS3 and the 360 graphics wise are a dead heat give MS 4-5 years and they will make the Ps3 look like a WII

 



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

I am not saying Sony couldnt make a system who would be as powerful if not more powerful than the next MS I am saying if they stick with the PS3

PS2 still does really well, whats to say PS3 wont be like PS2 today, but when PS4 launches?

Just because Sony WANT to doesn't mean they will. Every console manufacturer wants to be in first. Every game developer wants their games to sell well. Does that mean it will happen? No. And Sony isn't exactly doing anything much to help the PS3's life span very much.

@Obliterator

Because firmware updates will bring FF XIV, MGS5, Ninja Gaiden 3, and GTA V...exclusively for PS3 ;P

I didnt say it Will, its a possibility.

Because PS2 had like 90% market share of that generations consoles. PS2 install base was MASSIVE.  PS3 as you can see will NEVER have the same conditions that the PS2 had.  They can not get anywhere near the market share they did.  There competion was the Gamecube (sorry ninetendo fans) a dud system and the Dreamcast.  So it was a slam dunk.  This time MS made a decent system and WII knocked it out of the park.  They are fighting for second place.  There is no comparsion between the PS2 and PS3.  Ps2 made tons of money the PS3 has lost billions

Because the PS3 won't be as dominant as the PS2?

For now at least, The PS3 is only 18 months old ( which is when PS2 took off), and its still a 400$ 500$ System. When PS3 hits sub 299 its a wrap imo

The PS3 is a great system its just they made a few crucial erros this round.  I hope boht MS and Sony relaize you cant relaase a new system at over $400.00.  $600.00 was a HUGE mistake and crippled sony for the first 6-10 months

In a couple years time when the PS3 and maybe the Xbox 360 (seems like the 360 might already be at it's max) will be at its max with there graphics, it'll already look so realistic that the next generation won't seem that much different (graphics wise). Sony and MS won't really be able to say "hey look at are video game system and how much better the graphic are from last generation" because it won't be that much different compared to how different it was with the PS2 and PS3. So they'll likely be looking for something innovative and something we've not seen before, instead of focusing on improving the graphics.
