Sony UK thinks PS4 lifecycle might be shorter than PS3
Sony's next-gen console launches in Europe at midnight tonight, seven years after PS3 debuted in Japan and the US and more than six and half years after it arrived on these shores.
On the eve of the launch, Sony Computer Entertainment UK boss Gara told TechRadar: "I think there's reason to believe that the next cycle might be shorter in markets such as the UK.
"It's probably a sign of the times and how much has changed in seven years, but I think the willingness and the appetite to pick up new technology fast has probably changed quite a bit.
Sony has put aside an unspecified number of PS4 consoles to purchase at its official London launch event tonight, while 300 GAME stores, 150 Tesco stores and 155 Asda stores will have stock at launch for UK consumers who haven't pre-ordered the system.

Ryc They most likely rushed a few things and now it may not last as long as PS3.
They definitely could have spent some more time working on the console but overall they did a good job.

Technology moves so fast now I wouldn't expect it to last more than a few years.

Even with how fast technology is going now days?
I would exact the PS4 to not even last as long as the 4-5 years they projected.
I personally think that it will last around 5 years.. any shorter and i will be a little disappointed, but not surprised

With technology evolving so quick then its obvious the conoles will have shorter life cycle. Roll on #XboxTwo
Yup, most likely, and also even though the PC is easy to upgrade, so is the Xbox and PS.
The PC is like $100 a year to upgrade, these consoles are $400 every 5 years minimum so its not much difference. The community is better on console though
You don't upgrade a PC every year.
You upgrade a PC every 5 years or more.

It always was, and is, no matter what console you have if it better than the PC, and those Alienware computers are terrible, I had one and they are like the worst.
I think I will always use console for gaming, and PC just for general PC use. But these consoles are pretty much PC's in their selves!
Except they are amazingly fast PC's with a lot of better hardware in side of them.
Yeah, I was using the Xbone at work today and you really can flick from application in speed :D
Yeah I bet it is really fast, they said the hardware in them is a lot faster than the Xbox 360 and even the 360 was fast.
