Sony VP of hardware marketing John Koller has let customers know this week that the company plans to support the PlayStation 3 through 2015, at the very least.
Says the exec: "A lot of great content is coming. And over the next 2-3 years, the PS3 has got an incredible lineup. We're going to continue supporting the PS3 for the next few years. Absolutely. And we're going to continue supporting it not only that long, but as long as there is a development spigot that's running hot."
Koller then compared the console to the best-selling console of all-time, the PS2, which even to this day sees some new games despite being released in 2000.
In 2006, Sony stated plans for a ten-year life cycle for the PS3, and it looks like the company will try to hold that original commitment.
Sony's PS4 is expected to launch next year before the holidays.
