I can't help but disagree. Sony will want to try to keep this gen going, since they built such a massive system and are still trying to recover market share. Nintendo needs to get into HD, and MS will likely want to re-engineer to finally get rid of the RROD nightmare they've been plagued with this gen. I give it 2 more years at most before we see a next gen console.


Most of the new customers getting a Kinect and Xbox360 dont have any idea about RROD. That is an industry term, that people who frequent gaming sites, or look up things about games for reviews or otherwise. Your common person picking up a console would have noooo idea about RROD. 

I'm not so sure I acan agree here. I mean, perhaps if you're talking about casual gamers buying a 360 just for Kinect, perhaps. But most of the people buying 360s are still in that "core market", who are in the know, and at minimum, would have friends that have mentioned RROD.  I personally feel Kinect was MS testing the waters before the commit to "motion control only" console next gen. I think this is their litmus test.
