And I also find that link laughable. Until it comes from someone like Ballmer - I'll take it with a grain of salt. If kinect flops, do you REALLY think they will keep the 360 around for another 5 years? Heck, even if it doesn't flop I will be shocked if a new MS console isn't released in the next 2-3 years. Also, maybe they just meant they would "support" it for another 5 years, doesn't mean they will not release a next gen console before 5 years :0 |
I was just throwing it out there so everyone could know, it was directed at anyone specific.
Hey, they said it, I'm not saying it's true or not. Just telling you what MS thinks.
He said that they were in the mid-cycle of the 360 and he also said that they won't get into the next gen for several more years. Of coarse he's being optimistic on Kinect. I personally don't think Kinect will be very successful, but the guys at MS probably know more than me.
So if Kinect is successful, then yes, I can see the 360 last another 3 - 5 years. which is enough time for Ps3 to catch up IMO. Even if Kinect flops, I still see the 360 lasting until Fall 2012 before the nextbox releases which again is enough time for the PS3 to catch up.
