I know Sony has a history of  supporting the older consoles, but I don't see why MS can't do the same. Nvidia was the main problem for the original Xbox, so they HAD to stop producing it. This is different this gen.


yes this is a gen but falling sales could be a reason to stop supporting

and low sales like now at low price can tell us how sales in future will perform

and resources to push a new console may also take them off supporting 360.as MS already struggling with their console at a low price with other competitor at high price,what will they do with the competitor at low price

and MS said previously,they didn't make an XBOX handheld cause then they couldn't support the 360 in the same way.so they might do the same with 720


-You seem to oversimplify things to suit your argument. For one, the perceived value of a low priced arcade will be different from the perceive value of a low priced xbox 360 redesigned. And you seem to forgot to factor in the digital value of the xbox 360..There was an article that claimed that xbox live generated 1.2billion revenue for last fiscal year..Thats 1.2billion reason to continuing support the xbox 360 for quiet sometime. TBH if anyone is struggling this gen, its SONY.

-and could you please provide a source to your handheld argument where you claimed "microsoft said...blah blah". Because you dont need to look far than to the PSP being raped by DS to see why microsoft didnt want to invest in this market.
