My understanding is their sales are declining each year too. The
AS400 has a much larger installed base and many more ISVs than the
3000 ever had, so IBM can sustain the platform much longer. IBM
also has been more aggressive with the AS400, from what I've seen,
so I expect it to last quite a few more years -- but eventually it
too will be obsoleted.
FWIW,
