Sony reduces PS3 lifespan estimate

Though maintaining even as recently as a month ago the PlayStation 3 would have a ten-year lifespan, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe boss David Reeves has expressed uncertainty on that front in an upcoming interview with Play magazine.

"The competition will have new models on the market by the end of the PS3," he commented. "I have no doubt and we’ll have to be fast on our feet.....I don’t know whether the PS3 lifespan will be eight, nine or ten years."

He noted PlayStation 4 is not as of now "on the horizon".

Sony stated two weeks ago their current console is "inherently future-proof", and would surely outlast the PS2, which is now going eight years strong.

I would like to think I am not buying any more systems. They are shitty quality, it seems like every other 360 or ps3 is kicking the bucket (both of mine have had bad luck)

Business strategy changes! Surprise!

Have you never clicked on a supergrafxengine thread before?

Losing consoles don't last 10 years, this was already a given. Much like the Saturn, N64, Xbox, and Gamecube, the PS3 will be dead with in months of the competition launching their new systems.

The PS3 is already dead.

It has a large following, and some great exclusives. It won't be the juggernaut that PS2 is, but it will be fine for the next few years.

» PS4 will launch when MS & Sony launch their next systems

no kiddin', ps4 will launch when sony launches the successor to PS3 :o
