In English, word `PS3` can not be used in genetive case together with word `future`

:D

Well, to sum things up, the Sony fanboys will say that yes, it'll be around because of the 10-year plan, and surpass the 360. (A few that are delusional will say that it'll even pass the Wii.) The anti-Sony fanboys will say that it will be dead in a year. Both sides have been saying this for a couple of years. Truth is, we don't know. Games being in development mean very little; look at the number of games cancelled in the prior generation.

My take is that Sony will still be around in a year with the PS3, but I don't know in what condition. Do they do a price drop that causes sales to skyrocket? Or do they do too little, too late, and find themselves on life support? That I can't tell you.

It may not last 10 years as Sony wish (is just financially impossible) but it will last at least 2-3 years more before a new console is announced.

what is at stake is not the PS3, it's an eventual PS4, so you can spend your money on it.... or buy a 360 for half the price and 90% of the same games...

i would love to know how you think this?

I don't think the PS3 is going anywhere for a while, but you may want to see if there's a price drop if you can wait. Even if they did discontinue it in the near future (not likely), there's a ton of good games already for the PS3, there's more good ones on the way, so I don't think you would be totally disappointed.

anybody who thinks sony wil be on life support this gen is delusional.

Cant wait til the price drop. because everyone seems to 4get the xbox is only selling how it is now because of a series of price drops. Everyone also forgets that the xbox has of yet to sell more then 15k of the ps3 weekly total lately. if ps3 is on life support so is the 360 so the OP should get a wii. 

OT: get w/e you like. its your money dont have people on the internet tell you what to get. look for games you like and buy the system that plays those games.

- Its not lacking exclusives at all. I think its second to just Nintendo in exclusives. Just because some of Playstations key titles has ended up on other consoles this generation dosent meen it lacks exclusives. We've also seen a bunch of new IPs being released and all of them seem to hold their own with great reviews and gaming experiences.

- Price drop will eventually happen but not in the near future.

- And "dead last" out of 3 possible positions shouldnt affect your purchase what so ever.

By the lack of contrary evidence. 

Until now, every console generation lasted 5 years. This one is 4 years old. 

I can't see any special reasons why people will keep buying the current generation consoles for longer than usual, only the companies wishful comments about how long they want to keep them on the market.
