Mmmm, bare minimum 11 years and 1 day product. 10 years just isn't enough.
But clearly you forgot to factor in the new RROD replacement program. Every 3 years your system will RROD, you send it in and MS will upgrade all the inner components for the low low price of $250 This will ensure that no 360 on the market is ever over 3 years old since since no 360 will ever reach 11 years of age the system will be future-proof and last forever!
Contry to whateverybody else believes (except you Squillium) IMHO the Xbox 360 can "span" a decade
It just has to last until Q1 of 2014 for me to be right!
but seriously this gen already looks different from past gens, 2nd and 3rd will soon overtake 2nd and 3rd from last generation.
I don't want to be "condemned" for saying this but I think the Wii has reached such a new crowd of people the majority of the previous 150M+ consoles owners will upgrade to the PS3 + 360 excluding extra growth the market gets.

If the Wii is selling primarily to new gamers then we have already faced the worst collapse in the videogame industry in history. The Wii is tracking at (basically) the same rate as the PS2, and the XBox 360 and PS3's improvement over the XBox and Gamecube could be attributed to a growth in the number of gamers who buy multiple systems (based primarily on how different the Wii is from the PS3/XBox 360).

Well first off the Wii is tracking much higher than the PS2, I don't know how much higher though, might check that out later.
and in 2 & 3 years the PS3 and 360 have already (combined) outsold the GC and Xbox combined.

the new version of xbox 360 (jasper) reduce RROD rate and futur verion will certainly fix the problem
and 250$ to fix a 360... this is nonsense you can buy a new 360 for less than that already
2010 prediction
Xbox 360 - 49m - 52
ps3-44.5 - 46m
halo reach will be the highest selling exclusive of 2010
xbox 360 will do is first million selling week in december
xbox 360 price will drop arcade - 179$ elite - 249$ and will be bundled with natal
115 or more million seller game on xbox 360

There are new gamers, but from what I have personally seen the number of multiple system households has increased dramatically and quite a few gamers have bought systems earlier this generation then they bought previous generation systems.

Well I agree with you on that one, does seem to be more duel ownership this generation.
Actually i think all consoles should last a bit longer than previous gen atleast 7 years 5 years for new console is too early imo.
On-topic. So its ps3 for 10 years and 360 11 years and Wii 15 years well we can only sit back and see what happens.
Joke post is funny. Serious debate spurred by joke post tickles me even more.
At any rate, I believe whispers of the next box will start this year.
