Xbox Microsoft: “This Generation Will Be Longer”

There has been a lot of confusion as to when this generation of game consoles will come to an end and replaced with the next generation of hardware. Sony has stuck to its guns about a 10-year life cycle, as it did with the PS2. Microsoft, however, has been a little more reserved in saying anything. Finally, Microsoft has hinted that it’s “very, very possible” that “this generation will be longer.”
Chris Lewis, VP of the Interactive Entertainment Business for Microsoft EMEA, had this to say in an interview with Edge Online.
“I think this generation will be longer, because there is so much scalability. When you look at NXE, that is a complete revision of the interface and the look and feel and every aspect of the system. That’s not predicated by new hardware. We have fundamentally done that through software and services. So if you think of that scalability and the opportunity to enhance and develop what we do with this platform, then I think it’s very, very possible–and indeed appropriate–that this generation will be longer.”
That doesn’t mean that it’s a guarantee we won’t see an Xbox 360 successor in the near future, though.
“But we’re not specific about when that will happen, and we don’t have a particular timeline that we share right now. But as I said, there’s a lot more still to come.”
We know Sony is in it for the long haul - and it kind of has to be considering how profitable the PS3 has not been for them - so there is no reason for Microsoft to rush. Also, Lewis is right in saying that the NXE shows a commitment on Microsoft’s part. With the 360 celebrating its third birthday just days ago, it is unlikely Microsoft would invest so much time and energy in an all-new interface this late in the game if they planned to wrap up shop in a couple of years.

Não sei nao, a sony está se a ver muito aflita.
pensando melhor uma ps4 nao, mas uma PS3 slim ou uma porcaria assim á Lá Playstation...

Espero bem que este tempo todo lhes de tempo para fazer uma coisa decente, e nao uma melhoria de hardware (mais uma vez Á Lá Playstation.)
 
A 360 ainda está a dar muito, acreditem que ela vai durar ainda muitos anos, saiu agora o NXE, saiu o GOW2, saiu o Fable2, vai sair o Halo 3 Recon, vai sair o Halo Wars, querem mais?
 
Alan Wake cry on e a lista continua acho que estamos bem encaminhados em relaçao ao ano 2009 e muitas surpresas estao para vir (ja sabemos como e a MS nao faz muito hype a volta dos seus jogos uns 2 ou 3 anos antes de sair), por isso reserva as surpresas para o final.

"sonho com killer instinct 3" xD
