There won't be a new Xbox in 2018, nor a new Playstation. We just finished up a console generation where the Xbox 360 and PS3 went 8 and 7 years respectively before their successors were released. Both M$ and Sony have invested billions in the X1 and PS4 and they are both in it for the long haul, This generation isn't going to go back to the old 5 year cycle just because. Only Nintendo will be releasing a new console by 2018, and that's because the Wii U will have run completely out of whatever steam it has left by then. And the 360 in 2013 was "nothing?" In its 8th year on the market, it moved over 6 million hardware units and over 118 million software units. That's a heckuvalot more than nothing. In fact its far more than what the mighty PS2 did in its 8th year in existence. M$ will not pull the plug early on the X1 like they did with the original Xbox in favor of a jumpstart on Sony. The X1 will once again have a minimum 7-8 year life cycle, and that should easily carry it past the SNES, probably in less than 5 years on the market as well. |
Do you really think people will still buying the xbo on 2022? If Microsoft and playstation waits till 2022 to realease a new console... then they are pretty much doomed, pc is gonna eat them alive.
