Sony's VP of hardware marketing John Koller has revealed the company will continue to support the PS3 until at least 2015 with a range of first-party content. "A lot of great content is coming," Koller suggested, continuing, "And over the next 2-3 years, the PS3 has got an incredible lineup."

In an interview with Gamespot, Koller also said "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. And I can tell you right now, the development spigot for PS3 is very hot. A lot of great games coming."

Quite what these games may be remains a mystery, especially extending so far into the future, but it's interesting to ponder what this means in relation to when the PS4 will be released. It seems pretty likely that there's going to be some overlap between the PS3 and PS4 in terms of support, the question is for just how long?

Let the speculation begin!

I'm very happy about this.

Or we'll be getting a ps3 ultra super slim.

we all knew this would happen its just the same as ps2/ps3

I don't know why this is news when Sony repeats themselves each E3 that they have a 10 year life cycle. They did this with PSOne, The did it with PS2, they're doing it with the PSP, and they'll obviously do it with the PS3.

PS4 better be backwards compatible :x :x

Just keep your PS3.

Good. I plan on holding on to my PS3 to 2015 and beyond. I always love to go back and play older games.
