In an interview with Venturebeat for VG247.com, Microsoft Executive Shane Kim, Kim states that he firmly believes that the Xbox 360 will have a life cycle of 10 years, giving us 360 gamers at least 6 more years on our beloved console. He states that innovations like Project Natal will definitely increase the lifespan of the current console.
What I take away from this: Just because Shane Kim says that the Xbox 360 will have a life cycle of 10 years, absolutely does not mean that their will not be a next gen Xbox console before then. They are simply following the Sony strategy with the PS2, which is a great strategy to follow. I also must agree with Kim that the innovations to the NXE, Social Networking Capabilities, 1080p Video Service, Radio, Primetime Game Shows, and most of all Project Natal will keep this console fresh and will keep a healthy (abundance) of games coming as the install base will continue to grow rapidly.
