You know, companies can wish for all they want....ultimately it is the consumer who decides the lifespan of any product. If general interest on today's consoles falls to the ground and software sales, especially from third parties start to decline more and more, companies like Microsoft and Sony will have NO CHOICE but to reactivate the market with something "new" to make the big $$$ for them and their partners, again.


This doesn't mean there won't be a new Xbox before that time, it means that the current Xbox 360 will be on the market by their intentions alongside the next Xbox. Based of consumer interest alone at this precise point, the Xbox 360 can justify another 3 years at least on the market with or without next generation consoles, especially if those consoles are more expensive.

 

I doubt MS will keep it alive until 2015, but I guess I'll have to see the kind of sales the 360 can make at $125 or so, within a new generation of consoles.
