"worried-about playstation3"

i am very concerned about the rumours surrounding playstation 3. ive heard that by the summer of 2004, they will already have all the hardware outlines set out-is this true? i know this is music to the ears of a wealthy gamer, but i am concerned that the people at sony are not quite giving playstation 2 enough time on its own. i mean, the vast majority of ps2 owners did not buy the ps2 before 2002. and with the ps3machine on coarse for 2005, one cant help to think it's a never ending cycle of consoles-surely ps3 should only come out once ps2 has had a good run? in the next four months there are some absolutely amazing games coming out for the black beauty. i hope ps2 still has a future to look forward too?
wht do all of you out there feel about this issue??

The PS1 I think was out in 1994. PS2 I think came out in 2000 or there abouts. But I think most consoles last about 4 years before the next one comes out so it makes sense to release the PS3 around 2005-2006

that is a true point

2005 seems like a realistic time to release the PS3. The technology will be there and games will have been produced for the release.
PS2 owners will still be able to buy games from the cataloge of games already available if they decide they don't want a PS3 on release.

Also with other consoles expected to be released before/around the same time it seems like the right time to release it.
