bottom line, if MS and nintendo released a new console ps3 could compete head to head, and even have multiplat on the new console and the ps3, thats not really true of either of the others

Very, VERY bold statement.
If MS introduced a new gen 360 with updated hardware and a new optical media, like say HVD, at a good price point PS3 would become very obsolete, very quickly

The argument is stupid because MS said that Kinect would boost 360 's lifespan another 5 years.

Is your statement directed to me, or to Unknown? If directed to me, I think you took my reply to Unknown out of context. I was replying to his statement that PS3 could go head to head with a next gen console.
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.

ps3 on average sells a bit over a million more a year then the 360 and the gap is about 3 and half million, so 3-4 years and the ps3 will over take the 360 in sales, or if the ps3 is on the market a few months after the 360 stops being sold it will over take the 360, frankly I don't see a way the 360 can win WW in the long term
