^^^that's kinda stupid,,,cause it will hurt their own console(360)the most as people will think that console is about to be replaced.

 

 ==> no,

u can announce a new one and continue to massively release new title for your console

Remember, if u only have 200$ u have no choice than buy a Xbox360 console OR save ur money for a PS3

If u know the "next" gen is coming then u just buy the cheap Xbox360 and u will later to buy a Xbox720 forgetting the outdated/expensive PS3...

release a new console =/= discontinuating an old console

 

 

To early. If anything, Xbox 360 should live alone at least for 6 total years before a successor.

Developers need a while to recover costs and making profit.

Might also lead to gamers waiting for the next generation Xbox or just skipping Xbox alltogether to jup to Sony's "10 year plan" PS3.

And with the worlds economical problems, it might be a to big investment for both Microsoft and the potential buyers.
