I think 5 years may cut it, there are still a lot of things that need to be worked out: potential's there. However, they may make a new console that is more hardcore oriented in 2 years or so: keeping the casuals alive with xbox360 Kinect.

BTW: Killer App for Kinect? http://123kinect.com/kinect-gameplay-yoostar-2-movie-karaoke/

You can't compare the 60 000 members of this site to the millions and millions of gamers (both casual and hardcore) out there that would never even think to go on a video game website. People here are a minority. If this site represented the rest of the world PS3 would be sitting in first with about 80 million sold right now and Xbox 360 would be in 3rd with about 25 million.

2015, that is a long time away, especially the next gen is starting within the next year

There are two possibilities

1 - If Kinect sells well: They can let the console in the market for more time, perhaps 5 five years, but I doubt since Nintendo will try to disrupt the market one more time releasing the Wii 2 in 2011 or 2012.

2 - If Kinect doesn't sell well: The will release another console as soon as possible, maybe next year!

This is no good. I already have a hard time playing any 360 games which have PC versions... the console is old, should be retired in 2012.

Same with PS3... By 2012 Sony should re-release PS3, put a full on Cell processor in to it, not the gimped one they have now... take out that abomination of a video card and replace it with something badass.

If they want to keep this gen going they need to enable multi GPU hardware scaling or something.

2 X Xbox 360 connected together = game in true 1080p resolution

1 360 = 720p

Forza 2 and Forza 3 already do 3 monitor scaling with 3 xbox 360s and push a resolution higher than 1080p like that, so it is possible.

This only means that Microsoft and devs will support the Xbox 360 for 5 more years even if a successor gets released next year ..

They will do what Sony been doing all along with the PS2, make the PS2 last 10 years and at the same time come out with a new hardware.
