Realistically, you can't really expect any of the consoles existing (much) longer than 4 to 6 years before they bring out a follow up console. I wouldn't expect Microsoft to release a console in 2009 because that would be twice when they released a console after only 4 years (meaning that people would automatically expect a short life), and whether Microsoft aims for a 2010 or 2011 release will (probably) depend on how the console sells in 2008.
