Patcher or whatever his name was said PS3 will be the most suceesful, but also said HD-DVD will win in that article. In my opinion if blu-ray fails PS3 will too
I think that the PS3 is the only console with the horsepower nessissary to last 10 years. FoamingPanda
took the words right out of my mouth. sony consoles have always had the 10 year life cycle. psone did it. ps2 is on the verge of doing it now in its seventh year and going strong.
PS3 is the only one built to last that long...... without bigger storage capacity 360 will barely survive the next couple years. The Wii is gone as soon as the hype around it dies and the price is like $100. The Wii could last a long time like Gameboy or something but there will be a new console soon.

Mmm he clearly said that he thinks Sony will win the format war.
Anyways this one seems to have lasted longer due to the PS2 but let's see if anyone launches the rocket early like MS did.

Rightfully said.It all boils down to which console can handle the devs needs in the future,and the Ps3 is the only console that can accomplish all their needs. I can't wait to hear MGS4 being ported onto the 360 as a boxed set.
Despite, or perhaps because of, the hardware of the PS3, Sony will announce a new machine before Nintendo or Microsoft, thus ending the generation.

The Wii 2 will be out before 2009,not too sure about the Xbox 720.
No. There will be no incentive for the market-leading Wii or the profitable 360 to disrupt their software flow by instituting a generational shift. The generation will end with a new entrant or Sony attempting another run at the brass ring.
Until the PS3 has a game out that blows the 360 out of the water in terms of graphics I don't see any of them lasting 10 years. The 360 is going to be replaced in maximum 5 years, and I doubt the Wii will last any longer. Sony might make the PS3 like the PS2 is now but I'd see that as a mistake, because GoW 2 on the PS3 would have been huge.
in 10 years the PS3 & 360 will be so oldschool, who knows what they will have by then! Thats a very bold, and silly question. PS3 still selling in 10 years heck they can't even sell it now :roll:

We'll see what market the Wii leads in 2009,when the biggest title on it,Mario Galaxy,is out,and the biggest Ps3 title,Gran Turismo 5,is out.
One of the reason I had no problem buying a ps3 is sony always supports their old systems even when the new one comes out ie gow2 on the ps2. Nintendo and ms kill their console when the new one comes out and force you to upgrade or be left with no games ie cube and xbox.
no. by then, processing power and graphical power will be quintuple what it is now atleast (seeing as how that seems in line with this "peak" were supposedly coming towards in technology)
right now 360's pretty even with dx10 games, but in 10 years, the console will age terribly.

I guess we will. I don't think that we'll have to wait until 2009 for Galaxy though.
I still disagree with everyone about it not lasting 10 years. Horsepower has very little to do with the life of the console. Hell the psx 1 was still successful years after the gamecube/ps2/xbox generation had launched. People just cared about the quality games and not the power behind them. I
It all is gonna depend on if each console maker plays by the rules. If all are willing to wait to release a new console then they will last 10 years. However, if one jumps the gun then it puts pressure on the other 2.
I could see Sony wanting to hold onto the PS3 for as long as possible, given the amount of time & money that went into that system. But MS has had the extra year benefit this year of being out and Nintendo knows there hardware will need a significant upgrade, those two will probably be racing to be out first in 2010-2011.

They are supporting the 360 at the end of its life cycle in another 4 yrs because it will, at that time be the PS2's new successor which will put Sony in a tough position seeing that their relying solely on profits right now from the PS2 in their games devision.
The only console that can last ten years is the PS3. Wether or not it'll be succesful in those 10 years remains to be seen. but X360's DVD format will be seriously holding it back from being a serious competitor as early as 2-3 years from now. Wii won't be recognized because PS3 and 360 will be so cheap andso much better than it that Wii would seem like a rip off. Why buy Wii for 100 when 360 and PS3 are 200 250 respectively? But Nintendo will come out with something new before that happens.
