Xbox One will live as long as the 360, says UK marketing chief

We'll see. But I personally wouldn't mind a generation that is similarly long as the last one, maybe a year shorter.

Try 2 years. MS made the huge mistake of keeping 360 on the market for 8 years before launching the successor. If X1 doesn't pick up fast, they might be forced to "flip the board" and start anew, and force Sonys hand to follow. Same goes for Nintendo where they and MS might both launch first to get the jump.

Yeah, I really don't want MS to "flip the board", that would destroy my PS4 prediction.

At this moment I don't fear a lot from Nintendo, but MS could really fuck the PS4 over with coming out too early with the Xbox 2 or whatever. Let's hope the X1 picks up.
