FYI,

the PS1 lasted over 11 years.

the PS2 is at the 9th year and counting.

get your fact straight before accusing others lying.

I'm sorry but this post is B.S. . Why do people still insist on making these doom thread's about consols. 22 million in 2 years sold at 400 euroes does not mean a fail , stop with these threads. This is a whole 10 minutes of my life I've wasted reading this crap. I've tried thinking logically but to be honest thats very hard when the OP isn't thinking logically writing B.S. like that. Goodbye

PS1 came out at the start of 1995. You're telling me PS1 games were coming out in 2006? 6 Years after the PS2 was released? It did get a few PS2 ports in and rereleases 2002 but most if not all developers had moved on by then.

PS2 has gotten alot of support past the PS3's release, but it was mostly due to the PS3's underwhelming sales. Now that the PS3 has gained ground, support will drop, save a few rereleases and ports for a short time in the future.

I guess in the literal sense of First and last game released you could count these systems lasting 10 years but there's no way any "generation" is going to last that long. And yeah. Sony does lie. As does Nintendo. And Microsoft. They are companies. It's just what they do.

You know it's not hard to do a little bit of research.

The PlayStation (abbreviated PS, PSone, PS1, or PSX due to its internal code name PlayStation Experimental[9]) is a 32-bit fifth generation video game console released by Sony Computer Entertainment in December 1994.[1] The name "PlayStation" is the opposite of the existent word "workstation". The PlayStation was the first of the ubiquitous PlayStation series of console and handheld game devices. which was first created and released in Japan. Successor consoles and upgrades include the Net Yaroze, PS one, PSX, PocketStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and the PlayStation 3. On March 31, 2005, the PlayStation and PS one reached a combined total of 102.49 million units shipped,[6] becoming the first video game console to reach the 100 million mark.[10] As of July 20, 2008, the PlayStation has sold 102 million units.[5] Sony ceased production of the PlayStation on March 23, 2006, over 11 years after it was first produced.

The PlayStation 2 ("PS2") is a sixth-generation video game console manufactured by Sony. The successor to the PlayStation, and the predecessor to the PlayStation 3, the PlayStation 2 forms part of the PlayStation series of video game consoles. Its development was announced in March 1999 and it was released a year later in Japan. The PS2 is the best-selling console to date, having reached over 136 million units sell-in as of the end of December 2008[2] and a software library projected to exceed 1,900 games in 2009.

Also for your specific question.

According to wiki,

Production Run

Lasting over 11 years, the PlayStation enjoyed one of the longest production runs in the video game industry. On March 23, 2006, Sony announced the end of production. However, Duel Masters: Sempai Legends!, the last game for the PlayStation was released on September 29, 2006.^[11]

 

So far Sony did not lie about their "10 years plan".

Ok now we are really just arguing the semantics of the word "last long." I never doubted sony wouldn't still be producing PS3s in 2017. It's just this generation will be long gone by then and PS3, as well as 360 and the Wii will just be a nostalgic memory when we play our PS4's, Xbox720's and whatever nintendo's new console is.

They kept the promise and produced the consoles for around 10 years.
What's the problem now?

They didn't say the "10 years plan" means that the PS3 will be hot selling for 10 years.
They meant to produce and support it for 10 years under their plan.

You made a bold statement saying "NO system will be around for 10 years."

I just happen to disagree with you.

With analysts as bad as they are, I think I did a good job in surpassing them. Kind of sad really......

lol.
