I dont have to wait 10 years to tell you some of the user experience sony is delivering are from other world. I have never felt the way I have today with my ps3 and the experience Im living as a Gamer.
The machine itself is so complex that even my pcgaming dreams have come true with keyboard and mouse support at least on 1 game with unreal tournament 3, just to mention 1 thing. No other console can make this happen, it has endless ways to evolve not just home or the psn.
I was a pirate before the ps3, didnt buy any game no matter which one, after the ps3 I have bought every single game that plays on my ps3 because its worth it.

But what about peer pressure? If all my friends and even my rivals are going and becoming better then do i really want to be the one guy thats being left behind? Also money is a really big motivator too. Offer people the possibility of millions of dollars or whatever to do something that is normally against them, or the opposite of what they said and they do it so fast it wouldnt be funny. But i love my PS3 and the $600 ive spent on is one of the few monetary decisions i look back and am content with. So 8-9 MORE YEARS!!!
I absolutely love my ps3, I've already gotten 4 of my friends to purchase one, 2 of them being XBOX360 fanboys, and they were convinced and converted...
sadly, it is completely unrealistic that sony hopes to keep the ps3 for ten years. Now i love PS3, i think 360 is one on a long list of failures for microsoft, but, that being, the hardware will be too out of day by then, and we the gamers will actually pay the price.
Think like this, Moore's Law, in ten years, there will be over 30 times the number of transistors on computer chips that means that the PS3 will be so out of date that it wont be able to keep up with next gen systems and either sony gets left in the dust or the gaming industry will have to slow itself down.
Both ways suck. Unless sony plans on rereleasing different version of the ps3 like the 360 inwhich case, ahh, yeah thats what we call a "new" system. The shinning ray of hope is that the PS3 is a computer not a gaming console, so the install file system should keep us in buisness for some time.

ps3 cant stay around for ten years, its just not possible. xbox360 is already almost equall with it.. if and when the new xbox comes out ps3 isn't going to stand a chance itll be like the PS2 compared with xbox 360.
however, as normand says the regular updates should keep it together in time but the graphics will always only be able to take so much.

Only those new rediculous 8 core computers are really faster. I think the ps3 is obviously more advanced than wii or 360, considering the internals are faster and it incorperates some of the technology that wii provides. However ten years is a long time. With new advances in technology I think there's just no way that its gonna be able to compete with a new generation of systems in ten years. That said, ps3 is still pretty bad ass.
I just cant see the PS3 lasting ten years.
As has already been said in 10 years what seems so powerful now will be very weak. Also now that the backwards compatibility is gone so is a major draw, one of the things that appealed and kept the PS2 alive so long was you could play old favorites without needing to keep an older system around.

not sure, but if the PS1 and 2 are any measure im sure it will sell and sell well PAST the 10 year mark.. i mean look at the ps2 current sale numbers. :)
