2008 is going to be (generally) unkind to the XBox 360 worldwide, by the end of their fiscal year they will decide to prepare their "Next Generation" console; Microsoft will require 6 to 12 months to finalize the plans for their hardware, and then they will want to give developers 12 to 18 months to prepare content for the system's launch. This means that Microsoft will launch their next system after September 2010 at the earliest and before January 2012.
