Shane Kim said back in 07 that the 360 would follow the PS3's lifespan until Sony stopped their cycle. Havent you noticed that they havent stopped support just yet unlike their first gen? Much like they are to Apple...Microsoft is a Sony's shadow in the gaming realm. They will follow the PS4 until its dying day.

Who, what? Shadow what? In my opinion, the bc plan of MS will make the lifespan even longer, at least for the ecosystem and the games. There is no reason for MS to follow Sony's plan when it comes to PS3, at all.

This guy was the head of the Xbox division in 07. I remember reading an article with him saying they would follow Sony. Every move Microsoft has ever made has been a response to Sony.  The Xbox 360 RROD, Fixing the clock speed of the Xbox One late  in the game, The investment in the Kinect after seeing sony create the eyetoy, Creating a project scorpio when there was no necessity for Microsoft to do it and copying Sony's ten year plan (well...eleven for Microsoft now...but they made this plan a year after Sony launched and revealed they would support the PS3 for ten years). I could go on and on. Its all they really do if you actually pay attention.

As I said..Microsoft is a shadow of their greatest competitors. 

 

Honorable mention for Microsoft in competition with Sony:

-Not giving a damn about HD DVD's fate by when trying to use them to get people to veer way from Blu Ray and failing. Instead of putting  HD DVD in the Xbox 360 they sold it seperately and let it die while Sony took the loss for the Blu Ray and saved it.

-Microsoft creates a augmented reality to outshow Sony's VR which was in development and realizes its too expensive and ahead of its time to sell at the moment. 

-Eager to take Sony's table scraps when Sony lets go of developers for their top teir studios. Rarely if ever do you hear of Sony doing the same.
