I don't believe that a third place console (PS3) will outlast a first place console (PS2). It just doesn't make sense.

why

The first place console always lasts well into the next generation of consoles.  2nd place, 3rd place, and the rest never do.  It happened with the Atari 2600, NES, SNES, PS1, and PS2.  Everything else faded away much faster.

has anybody realized that SONY has crushed alot of traditional belief of last place consoles???, has anybody realized that this gen itself broke alot of traditions, we cant let the past tell the future, hence why SONY is in this situation

Rubang hit the nail on the head.

What traditional beliefs are you talking about?

I feel that Sony is at a Fork in the Road due to the Sales of this Gen....The Wii is basically a Naomi Board...(LOL) and has dominated this far...The trouble Sony might run into is A NextBox with Major 3rd party support...If a NextBox launches first with higher capabilities than the PS3 and Major 3rd Party support Sony would almost certanly have to clip PS3 software support and bring the PS4......Ofcourse only time will tell...But if the plan on sticking to their 10 year plan it can turn into the situation where the NextBox gets games PS3 wont.....just saying..And Nevermind What Nintendo might do next.....

Doubt it will have a LONGER lifespan, but it will be close.

SONY is really persistent with the 10 year plan

History is really important in this market. If you can create a new audience and sustain them, you will win. The arcade did it, Atari brought 'em home, Nintendo did it, Sony did it, and Nintendo did it again.

Sony is bleeding money as a direct result of launching a console that costs too much for the average consumer. History predicted that would happen too. $500 game systems have never made money before.

I take it you think that after some price cuts the PS3 will pick up steam and last longer than the Wii or at least longer than the 360?

Yep I can see that Happening...And Acording to MS they Plan on doing the Same.....Or they are atleast trying to pull a good bluff...If rumors are true..Like the one about the PS4 luanching first than any other..Sony will be doing itself damage...Sure the PS3 will have awesome capabilities..but Will Third Parties want to make the Same game for NextBox,PS4 and PS3(And If the 360 is still being produced aswell) I don't think so...

Aside from the Wii..Im happy that the Gen war will be decided by Software.....and again...I don't see 3rd party "Next gen" games being ported to older Gen system when the 360 and PS3 are the older Gen (Ok maybe capcom will..But then Again stuff Like DEAD RISING Chop till you drop was a swing at money)

Sony has either got to go for sales or profit, they can NOT do both. If they dropped the price to $300 soon they could come at least second this gen but take a huge loss of money.

Or they could keep it at $400, use the 45nm chip to lower costs and make a profit.

If they do the latter we're more likely to see a PS4.

Once the new generation lanches the third party dev. aren't going to invest some 30 million on a thrid place console with the smallest userbase. The wii will be like the PS2. All the others will get next to nothing.

Why would any third party dev. spend that kind of money when the wii is at least 50% cheaper and has the largest installbase which dwarfs the two others. People, think. That makes no sense.

The PS3 is a fine console and a very good bargain for what it delivers. But it is the GC of this generation. Nintendo dropped it like a brick, so will Sony. It sucks but what are you going to do about it.
