If you looked at just the sales aspect of things, then yes I would have to agree that it would be around for quite a long time. However, there is also the RROD factor, which means that MS has to spend a certain amount of $$$ for 1 out of every X 360s to be refurbished, has to spend extra for the extra heatsinks, fans, etc. as well, so the big load to bear might influence MS to end development for thet 360 a bit sooner than we think.
My best guess is that the 360 will still sell hardware for perhaps at most 2 years after the date that the next console actually comes out. So in that regard, yes it will be a while, but....not as long as the PS2 though.
