It's been defined twice already
I think that the PS3 has a great chance of being supported until 2016. Why?
-The PS4 will have BC, or will most likely. Every story out about the PS4 says that it will use the Cell design so this should make BC pretty easy. BC will mean that more PS3 gen games are coming out, which will in turn give people with a PS3 a reason to buy more games and consoles.
-We probably aren't done with the price cuts I could see another one in 2011 after we move down to 32nm
Maybe they are waiting for a Valve game to be made for the system so they can discontinue support the day before release, the ultimate revenge!

The system will be supported for at least 10 years.

This. And it's pretty premature to think that there will be a PS4. Sony's in NO financial position to start development on it.

Microsoft had no choice but to ditch it, Nvidia stopped producing the GPU, meaning they couldn't make any more units.

With Bluray as storage medium it can handle growth in games and be supported for 10 years as opposed to the 360 which is pushing HD games on a DVD which easily points to a much shorter shelf life and will most likely be discontinued earlier as was the case for it's predecessor the Xbox.

The fact that PS1 and PS2 fit the 10 year plan tells you that the 10 year plan means 10 years available for sale on the market, though other Sony consoles might be available as well.
What you are attempting to do is to say that because under SOME definition Sony hasn't met a 10-year goal, therefore we can't say that Sony has met the goal. But that's dumb.
Sony is in fine position to "start development" on PS4. And, using Cell and Blu-Ray again in PS4 (they are now established tech) was probably part of their likely plan when hey were developing PS3. PS3 costs will then be repaid -- and profited upon -- partly by PS4.
speculation: PS4 or PS3.5 will involve Playstation Cloud utilizing server farms with Cell processors anyway.

I don't believe cloud gaming is a short-term reality. But, they already said that Cell architecture will be there again but obviously improved. Some expert in programing explain this please, if sony uses the same architecture dev. costs and time will be estabilized for next-gen?
