The 360 will be 7 years old by 2012. It's not inconceivable.

Not really, Microsoft are obviously taking Natal seriously, it's up in the air if it will suceed or not (though I'm sure you have a very unbiased opinion formed on that already) if natal doesn't do anywhere near what Microsoft had hoped, then they might call it a day by the end of 2011, a year of fighting for it.

 

If Natal is a hit, you don't think it can carry the system for a mere 2 years?

I think 2012 whether Natal is a huge hit or not is a good time frame for the next console.  Especially if they can guarantee bc with every 360 game and Natal+360 game.  An improved Natal with NextBox would mean developers could capitalize on the larger install base by developing for the 360 for a few more games and that would in turn extend the life of the 360 as well as help the NextBox and Natal 2.0 (much like the PS1 and PS2 lasted past their generation).
