Actually, I am sure it is confirmed for X1, X360 and W8: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/news/a490027/project-spark-free-to-play-cross-platform-on-xbox-one-360-windows-8.html
I does seem like a vast improvement from MS compared to the original XBox, don´t you agree?

Yup, because the 360 has no big third party games scheduled for release on it except for the occasinal licensed shovelware like the PS1 and PS2 did.
Oh wait...

The 360 version of GTAV alone will likely surpass the PS2's entire software totals for 2008.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
They are used to supporting their older products for years, look at Windows XP, there's been 3 generations of OS since XP and they are only now ditching support.
Consoles aren't OS's though. The people who keep things chugging along for a console in late generation are the new buyers and the core gamer (in this sense I mean core gamer in that they buy video games on a monthly basis and have a stack of about 40 games, or more, after a few years). Early and mid gen casual gamers (who only have a collection of 10 or fewer games by the time the generation gets to its later years) are not using their consoles enough to make continued support worthwhile. So MS will only continue to support XB360 as long as there's new buyers and the core doesn't jump straight on to Xb one.
The silver lining in the bad start Xb one PR had is that perhaps some of the core crowd will continue with Xb360 for a while, and for a year or two new buyers might decide to go with the 360.
This generation is different, but what is typically the next gen transition for the third placed console? I would think that the console that's selling best at the end of a generation (not necessarily the most LTD) has the best chance of continued sales well into the next generation.
All that said I think XB360 will be off the shelves after 3 Christmases post Xb one launch., so technically that means "years" and that makes the statement from MS true.

They will of course reduce their commitment for X360, but of course they will support it for at least two years, There is just too much money in it. It is the same reason Sony supported PS2 for so long, they made a whole bunch of cash of it.
| Nsanity said: VideoGamer Microsoft has vowed to continue supporting the Xbox 360 for "years," despite the imminent arrival of its successor, the Xbox One. Quizzed by OXM on how much longer the platform holder will be supporting the Xbox 360, corporate VP of Microsoft Studios Phil Spencer said: "Years. Last generation was different for us, we moved pretty quickly. This time, you will see us staying committed to the Xbox 360." He added: "I think it's a great platform. In certain areas, like trying to switch apps quickly, it shows that it was built in a different era, but in terms of the price point, the content library - I don't have the stats, but I bet it's the largest content library ever created in the history of the game space." Spencer believes now is a great time to get into the Xbox 360, and added that you can expect more games for the system in the future. "It's something we'll remain committed to on the content side as well as the platform itself," he concluded. VideoGamer.com Analysis The Xbox 360 is creeping its way towards the magical £99 price point, making it a hugely tempting platform given its wealth of games and services – something the similarly powered Wii U simply can't offer. As an entry level console the Xbox 360 shouldn't hurt sales of Xbox One either. http://www.videogamer.com/news/microsoft_committed_to_supporting_xbox_360_with_new_content.html |
So we'll be able to enjoy Halo 5 on the Xbox360 so? I can't wait.

No offense but who cares about how strongly the XBLA games appeal to you? The issue at hand is whether or not MS supports the console.
You might "care less" about games like State of Decay, Motocross Madness, Skulls of the Shogun, Battleblock Theater, Charlie Murder, Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, World of Tanks, Ascend, Crimson Dragon, Super TIME Force, etc, doesn't mean they don't exist and the support is not there.

On a side note, if you want to make a comparison, yeah, Sony is having a much better deal regarding quantity about exclusives this year. I don't deny this fact. I'm just saying that, if they say they will keep supporting, and they do, I won't complain. As I said before, some support is better than no support. |
Quantity and quality...
Ni No Kuni (Arguably one of the best JRPG's out this gen)
Tales of Xillia
God of War Ascension
The Last of Us (one of the greatest PS3 exclusives of all time)
Beyond: Two Souls
Gran Turismo 6
Sly Cooper: Thieves in time

I dont need to name PSN games. Sony covers their end where it matters.

Sony doesn't have nothing to do with Beyond and Xillia, though. That's the developers choosing which platform do they want to put their game on.
