So, pardon?!?!?!?!

And yes, some of those add features which is good, but when your latest release includes "The playback quality of some PlayStation 3 format software has been improved." you cannot tell me that the thing works properly.

Please Sony, just stop chatting pish. If there's one thing they shoulda learnt this generation it's to be a bit more humble.

You haven't really been here long, so let me fill ya' in. The bolded part has no way of being true. You are looking at the longetivity of the system solely based from a graphical standpoint. Consumers have shown that they don't care about graphics as much as we think they do, given proof by the threads we see asking if the PS360 combined can make it to 50m before the Wi does alone. The Wii is one of the fastest selling consoles in history; how could it be "replaced" after only 4 years? As for the Wii not having games for 2009 announced yet............ There are about 20 games I could tell you right now to deem that statement as false, but whatever.

 The PS3 has "hinted" at having things we don't know much about, and I doubt whatever those things may be can spur sales, that includes a new controller or a music store.

PR folks never are in touch with reality, thats' how they get the job. That said; this one deserves some sort of asshat medal for being incredibly dumb. YoY increases are high allround and no one's on their way down yet.

for all the doubters on Sony's 10yr Plan!

What in holy hell makes you think that they will not reach this goal? Think about what they have done with the PS3 in the first place. They made it as future proof as they possibly could. The PS3 boasts BluRay, Cell Technology, etc. Pretty advanced shit by any means. The 360 and Wii do not come close to matching it in hardware.

Sony has implemented these things so when the standard of what people are expecting in games rises again their system will be well prepared, at least on a PS2-XBOX level.

There is also simply too much riding on the success of the PS3 for Sony to break their own plan. Think about it. When formulating the inclusiongs of your next console you upgrade not downgrade! What could the PS4 possibly have over the PS3? Will it not contain bluray as the PS3 did? That would be silly as the PS3 is the savior of bluray. Sony will implement BR into everything possible. Will it use cell tech? Most likely, another home grown production of Sony and they have alot riding on it as well. Will it have the already existing userbase?NO, PS3 will have accumilated a hefty one by then though, while if they start over with the PS4 they will have to gain them all over again. Will it have better graphics card, ram? yea, but is it really need?

So far the PS4 would have to have bluray(faster drive), cell(better in some way), better graphics card, better ram, with no userbase. If the PS3 costs about 500 now with all these features that means that the PS4 will be somewhere around the same price. So you people are expecting a PS4 at $600 price tag to do better then the PS3 who is ALREADY ahead of it's time at about $400. All that would do is completely recreate all the big issues Sony had with the PS3 ALL OVER again. Why, when it would be much smarter is to stick with PS3 and work on those issues and fullfill the 10yr life cycle as planned so all of the big issues(price mostly) can be eradicated.

 ehmm Firmware Updates? I mean there were hubdreds of them.

 ehmm Installations? The PS3 is the only console which does not deliver plug n play, because u have to install games.

@Dominicator: The thing here is, that what else Sony can do? Whether we like their stupidities, all they can do is try to give positive impression (in context) about the future. They aren't going to "fuck off for not getting the PS3" (although the PR have hinted to this around 2 years ago).
So i don't think the comment was to shareholders, atleast as much it was for the public, since PS3 is practically in a price deadlock due to BD and 360 had a pricut, which Sony can't call. So they want to assure the public that 360 (and Wii) isn't the right purchase.

@Grooski: Apparently you aren't getting why Wii is specswise more "futureproof" than PS360 (since you apparenty hinted to this). Currently Wiis specs are outdated and it will remain this way. When the next gen arrives, it can't hit Wii for its specs, but it will outdate PS3 and 360, which will both lose their "high performance" -value. Of course, the next gen will mimic Wii to an extent, but Wii will likely have a price and game advantage and late adopters most likely will get a console with cheap price, loads of cheap games and large aftermarket. And Nintendo will have the brand advantage, unless someone can disrupt Nintendo.

Yes, Sony is in remarkable position at the moment, which reminds me about the "old wisdom" of finnish sports commentators: (10 000 meters run starts) "Martti was left last at the start and is getting into remarkable striking position". (after 5000 meters) "Martti is still last and his position is only getting better as the race advances". (The race finishes) "Martti was left two rounds behind in the last place, but the run was strategically remarkable for him keeping in striking distance through the whole race".

He can say what he wants. I am still waiting for a good game on the PS3.

You should apply for a job as an exec at Sony.  You would fit right in.

Quoted for truth

Hit the nail on the head!This doesn't mean the PS3's a bad system, but those are definitely not the attributes it is known for! xD
