I just picked up a PS3 and am enjoying what little games that I can enjoy at the ,moment. Gamespot put out an article with Sony saying the life span of their consoles are 10 years. This explains why they are not hurt by the low sales this past year.
This statement really troubled me, because of all the Crap people talk about Sony, this is the point that hurts them the most. The reason is because of Moore's Law which states the progression of technology and how fast it grows over time (google it). The original Playstation did in fact have a 10 year life span. The PS2 is different. I don't see the PS2 being around in the year 2011. If Sony looked at this seriously, they should be worried about what kind of life span the PS3 will really have.
The other point Sony makes is that the cell processor has not even been tapped yet. Well, this is true, however by the time developers actually get to that point the next Xbox and Nintendo will have already been out.
Anybody else feel the same or completely disagree?

My PlayStation still works great and it's getting to be pretty old. It still has a couple years to go until it's reached ten years, though, so I'll just have to wait and see. I sure hope it doesn't stop anytime soon, I still have fun with it!

In regards to guitar hero, sites like gamestop give the game a lower rating vs. the same exact game on next-gen system because it does not look as good. I think that games like that should not be compared because it makes people want the next gen version when the PS2 version is just as good. This is yet another influence on faster turnaround.
