When Kikizo asked whether preliminary work had begun on the next next-gen, Chris Lewis - Microsoft Home & Entertainment, nodded in agreement with the view that “as soon as you develop something, it’s old”, and said: “Of course we’re thinking about that… we’re constantly thinking about the next thing, we have to. It’s my point about complacency - you can’t sit back on your laurels in this business - the consumer won’t let you, the developers certainly won’t let us. So that’s happening right now.”
He went on: “We keep our development cycles very fast and high, that is the nature of the company and how we operate in terms of research and development, and that’s no different than any other part of Microsoft.
“You’ll see more over time - certainly we’re not talking about the next version yet, so give us a chance to catch a breath, will you?”
However, Lewis stressed that he thinks the lifecycle of 360 will be longer than that of Xbox 1 - which would mean 360 will be hot right into 2010

Ms Only Wants to Do so, So that the PS3 will feel dated even when It is young. BTW Seeing that the transition will be so early. It will be more like a Jump from GC to Wii rather than a jump from PS2 to PS3.

Most people had to upgrade their pc’s every 2 years (400 dollars video card?) The next xbox released in 2010 is perfect timing, gives me time to save up for a 1080p TV, my current one only runs @ 720p, with that being said the next generation will be more about digital content, higher resolutions and 60fps which will rival any rig for the lifetime of the console; at this point midway through xbox 360’s lifespan, the video cards have still passed it up due to higher resolutions

Ive laughed as if I just laughed for the very first time reading this thread . MS will not go broke with xbox live making 60x more profit than any consoles being sold added together . and ps3’s online isnt even stable or free , every developered owned game server can be charged for a fee . Sony cannot compete with xbox live . face the facts ,
