I don't think so, I think they will give Natal at least four years before they go for the next box.

I highly doubt it, there's no way Natal can carry the 360 by itself for 4 years

They will continue its use with the 720 by including it with the console at launch
The 2 years following Natal's release will be used to breath life into the 360 and act as a time for developers to get used to the system so they can integrate its controls into 720 titles from launch.

This way they can continue selling the 360 as a cut price console, including Natal after the 720s release. It will offer developers the chance to port 720 games back to the 360, both with Natal controls so they aren't selling to just a small 720 market at launch.

I dunno, you may be right, but  I think it can. The Xbox sales are still pretty strong, then you add a new 360 SKU with slightly upgraded hardware and Natal. Four years sounds about right.
