Rememeber, the Xbox 360 was only destined to last 4 years because the original Xbox only lasted that long.

You are kidding me right?

No he's right...

Everyone who's been on this site for a couple months should know that MS is going to stop supporting the 360! I know someone who's roomate works in the MS fax room... he says that he see's faxes about the "end" date, I promised not to tell anyone, but I can hint that Squilly date is pretty close!

Congrats 360! You did a lot better then your older brother.. hopefully the next box will last longer than 4 years...

 

PS - I'm going to buy 4 more Xbox 360's and keep them as collector's items!

That's simply crap.. I doubt MS is going to stop supporting its 30 million users in less than half a year. I bet most of them don't have money to buy a new console, and even if they announce a new console, they will announce it at least one year in advance, and the only reason MS stopped supporting the old Xbox is because they had trouble with nVidia thus they were forced to stop production, and they had a small installed base anyway. This time, the story is way different. This Xbox is really not comparable to the last Xbox, not on hardware sales, and certainly not on game sales, and I bet developers will still want to support it, even when the next one comes out, just like the PS2 is still getting games now.

Besides, even if what I just said turns out to be false, why would they stop supporting the X360 in 180 days when they are just getting started with 1 vs 100? You think they will just say, never mind, we'll go to the nextbox? I doubt it...
