As long as MS makes money on the 360,they will support it. Look at ps2 -> 120$ for a 8 year old machine that will not receive new games compared to 200$ 3 year old machine with many exclusive games coming and plenty of support.
Sony is making money with ps2 and has removed BC on the ps3 just to keep making money.
MS is making money off Xbox Live and downloads,plus games. As long as they do this,the 360 will be on the market just as the ps2 is.
Don`t see nothing wrong with that. But trust me,it`s not that the 360 GPU is a little more performant that ps3`s GPU,it`s not that 360`s CPU is more powerful that ps3`s CPU,it`s about how easy is for the developers to make and support games on the 360. We all know that is very easy,so the developers and MS will make money off the 360 because the userbase will grow and grow.
Now do you get the 10-11 year plan? With rising cost of game development (100 mil for GTA4 comes to mind) nobody wants another console with small userbase just like we don`t want to buy a 720,so the 360 WILL stay on the market longer than ps3 because of the price and ease of development.
