8 years is roughly the lifespan for a games console though.
And I say this as someone who hates Sony perhaps more than most, having lived through their the CD rootkit and PS3 OtherOS debacles. And been burned by their substandard yet overpriced audio equipment.
Game consoles are not biological beasts which decay as a matter of nature or fact.
They are tools, toys, they are devices. I can still play my PS1 as before, I just need to pop in a CD and I'm good to go.
