And what happens after 10 years?

10 years is supposed to be a minimum estimated lifespan. It wouldn't be feasible  to put a 10 year experation date:). Eventually when xb1's successor comes around it will probably be x86-64 architecture as well. Meaning it wouldn't be to difficult to make it backwards compatible with xb1:). Our xb1 games will most likely work on xb2.
