Old Boy, VM will support V6s for as long as there is a significant number of customers with them (though some of it will be out of their hands). The support will then likely taper off as the numbers drop and also depending on the technical/monetary requirements. For example, there have been instances where certain technology changes have been brought about because the media suppliers, be that film studios, TV production companies or record labels have insisted on certain levels of protection for their content. As the levels change so too have the supported tech requirements for the end user.

If the systems that the V6 uses no longer provide the levels of protection required by the content companies, the app providers may be forced to withdraw their app(s) even though VM would still like them on their platform.
