On top of that, the law of diminished returns has hit the wall, there isnt much left graphically to improve. It is gonig to have to be about the games finally. the question is can gamers collectively maintain interest in a gaming platform for more than five years? they havent had to for the past 30 years.

Well, the PS1 lasted 10 years, and we are at about the 10 years mark for the PS2. Sony announced at E3 that they would be publishing 100 games for the PS2 this year.

Blast Entertainment alone published (and publishes) an enourmous amount of games for the PS2, of course they're in the UK, so their stuff is PAL. What footage I've seen on YouTube for their PS2 games THUNDERBIRDS and BEVERELY HILLS COP look more like early PS1 games. They could use another 10 years or so to get the hang of the PS2.
