1. Comment - How long can Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 survive on life support?

   (Jun 9, 2009 - 5:41 PM)

   The "10-year Life Cycle" does not necessarily mean that it will be their flagship console for that entire time. There will be a new console in a few years, with ongoing support for the X360 -- much as there has been for the PS2. Longer life cycles are really necessary for consoles that also serve as media hubs for the living room -- not just gaming devices. The X360 might be reaching the ceiling on its processing prowess (not sure that I agree with EA on that claim), but it certainly can have a long life in regards to music serving, downloadable videos, streaming content, light-weight (read: XBLA) gaming, and so forth. Unless it gets the RRoD.
   
   Don't get all twisted up about the 10-year Life Cycle.
