That's the stupidest controller I have ever seen. And I remember when the "Rev-mote" was first shown

It is a joke. 

On topic: 5-6 years is plenty but I think it is a mistake. Graphics are good enough for consoles, they need to focus on recouping all their previous losses. Continue making great games for 360, release a new style with MUCH bigger hard drive and Wireless N with a 10/100/1000 port. Speed up Live. If they do a fully new console, it will fail.

Why stop now?

360 sells 120k plus a week... if they drop the price to 250 for the theoretical package above and throw-in some 360 classics (GoW, Halo3, whatever 3 year old game they want to pack in) in 2010 that will be 30 million in sales a week. Plus controller number 2 = 6 million. Games 1 million a week * 8 (figure they make $8 off of lisencing, a number I pulled out of my ass) = ~8 million

44 million every week in revenue * 56 (52 weeks in a year, modest double 4 weeks for holidays) =
2.5 Billion a year revenue, low estimate.

If they release in 2011 and no more huge blunders happen, the 360 will be seeing its fourth year of profit out of six.

That's plenty of time and in 3 1/2 years, those graphics are going to look awfully stale compared to PC hardware. It will be time for a hardware refresh with Blu-ray, uncompressed sound, 1080p, etc etc etc.
