Ah, I see what you did there...
OT: I do think the 360 explosion will extend its life a bit. If the userbase is larger, it may have a better chance it will last longer (even after the next gen systems release). I don't think it will affect the release timing of Microsoft's next console, though.
There's a difference between the lifespan of a console and how long it takes for its successor to be released. The PS2 is still alive, even though the PS3 was released 2 years ago. It's hard to tell if the 360 buyers today are the type of people that will stick to it when it's aged, though.
