Yeah 3 zelda games and 1 mario game were on the Sega CD (add on for sega genesis.)
If you think your living under a rock cause you don't know about these 4 games, well thats a good rock to live.

Haha, as the guy below this post said, it would be impossible.

Nintendo would never ever give their franchises to a Sega console. I forgot all about the CDi

There were still games coming out for the NES in the late 90s, yet the console was by no means still on it's life cycle, fact of the matter is, the PS2 is gone, sure people still play it and the odd game might be released for it now and then, but the console isn't still in it's 'lifecycle.'

Actually the NES's life cycle was considered to end in either 92 or 95. I keep getting different answers. Which that would fit with a 10 year life cycle. But Sony has said there will be a 1- year life cycle for all of their consoles. It's arguable apparently whether they succeeded or not, but it doesn't change the fact that they have said it for the PS, PS2, and PS3. They will more than likely say it for the PS4, and the PS5, and however many more playstations there will be.

It does to an extent, while it was always known that once the PS4 came out, support for PS3 would continue, as it did for the PS2, it won't continue for that long, It the PS4 is released in 2013, they won't still be making PS3 games in 2017.

Also, It has been stated that they don't plan on a new console till 2017, but that statement was a long time ago and is very unlikely to happen.

Really, because they still make games for the PS2.

I hate to break it to you but the PS2 is not in it's 11th year, it went out back in 2008 (about a year after PS3's release), just because people still play it, or there might be a game ported to it every now and then doesn't mean it's still on it's lifecycle.
If they want the PS3 to last till 2017 then the PS4 can't come out until late 2016.
The NES wasn't officially discontinued in Japan until 2003, but that was after the GCN came out (3 consoles later!) does that mean it had a life cycle of 18 years? No.

There are still games made for the PS2

If they are still making games for it, it's life cycle hasn't ended.

Sony did state that they thought the PS3 could last a decade, though I do think we'll be seeing something new before 2017, it won't be till 2014 I don't think.

The 10 year life cycle of the PS3 has nothing to do about when new consoles are coming.
