That's too bad.

I was looking forward to seeing Milo reach adulthood.

Well let's hope so..the large franchises which are to support should start scoring soon for that.

Soo, they are basically telling us that they intend the Xbox 360 to last for 10 years? Lol good luck with that one Microsoft. Odd how they go from a 4 year console with the original Xbox, to a supposed 10 year one with the 360. That's good for me though I guess if it turns out to be true, means I won't have to buy another console for awhile.

Nintendo has made the Gamecube last for 9 years by adding a motion controller and rebranding it, giving it a huge resurgence.  Why wouldn't MS be able to do the same with the 360?

And, for the record, that's not a slight to the Wii.  That's a HI FIVE to Nintendo for its ingenious approach.  MS has a chance to be successful in a different way because consumers only have to buy an add-on and not a whole new console.  Now they just have to deliver on the hype to the right audience and they're set.  Too bad its not going to be that easy ...
