The original xbox lasted 4 years from 2001 to 2005, so the 360 should have already been replaced in 2009 if Microsoft wanted to get a new one out every 4 years. But the original xbox was only replaced because it stopped selling, Microsoft was the first on the market with a nextgen (HD) console and because of that they've been able to stay ahead of the PS3. I'm sure they'll release their next console before the PS4 to use the same trick again but the PS3 is supposed to last until 2016. I doubt they'll succeed as Microsoft and Nintendo also decide when a new generation starts and Sony doesn't want to miss out. But I think it is safe to say that the 360 will stay in out living rooms for atleast a few more years.
