I wonder how long it will take until they leave the last gen behind.


I would bet they would support Destiny on 360/PS3 until the end like next gen consoles. 

MMO's typically have great legs look at how long they last:

World of Warcraft 2004-present

Guild Wars 2005-2012

Eve Online 2003-present 

Everquest 2 2004-pressent 

Lineage 2 2003-present 

These are just a small segment and others exsist. 

 

While Destiny is not a true MMO like the ones above it does share many characteristics of one.  What will make this successful is not having a subscription at the start had games like Warhammer, Rift, Star Wars and other failed MMO's done what Guild wars had done I and not turn into micro transaction messes (RIFT, Starwars) after failing with the subscription modle I bet those games would have been more popular.  That's what is going to help Destiny. 

I see Destiny getting supported to the very end, Bungie knows better! it would be suicide otherwise, they could offer old content to be transferable to next gen consoles to help you switch (speculation of course) but they will be supported. In my personal opinion I don't see a destiny 2 until the next gen... You will see 360/PS3 drop and current consoles take there place.  A game like Destiny does not need to come out every 2-3 years, it's MMO elements allow this game the legs it needs to have one per gen.
