Microsoft will continue to support Xbox 360 for three years
Xbox chief marketing and strategy officer Yusuf Mehdi said at the Citi Global Technology Conference yesterday: "If you look at Xbox 360 that platform [has] lasted for seven to eight years and it's going to go for another three years. It's incredibly profitable now in the tail."
Mehdi went on to assure consumers not yet ready to jump on the next-gen bandwagon that there will be plenty of new games released for Xbox 360.
"We are going to continue to invest in Xbox 360 and the two devices can work in concert," he said. "So it isn't just like the day we ship Xbox One, Xbox 360 won't work, we will continue to support it. In fact, we are going to ship over 100 new games on Xbox 360, so you will still be able to play your games, just not on the same exact box."
Mehdi also said Xbox One is currently in full production after Microsoft boosted the system's CPU from 1.6 GHz to 1.75 GHz.
Xbox One will launch in 13 markets this November priced at £430 / €500 / $500. The Xbox One release date will be announced later today, a pair of UK retailers suggested this morning.

THE-DEL-BOY-TROTTER-CP That's nice. The Xbox was basically obsolete right after the Xbox 360 came out, lmao
its because the xbox didnt have live and thats where the 360 is making its money from so thats problay a big reason that the xbox died once the 360 came out
"xbox didnt have live" where have you been? i never owned an xbox original but even i knew they had it...

THE-DEL-BOY-TROTTERInsanitizeGroovyD3FEKTSmeargle So I've got 3 more years to save for an Xbox One...
600 AUD is my weekly pay lol its not that expensive.
Well it's nice to know that,
Most of the marketed players will be people under 18 meaning that a lot won't be working
This is common sense
You can be 14 years of age and still work.
I've heard of kids at 12 working, but only with excellent grades.
the legal age in the uk is 16 so because that when you get your national insurance number if you are under the age of 16 then it is classified as child labour which is against the law in the uk so by right you shouldn't be working at 12 or 14 so the guy above is right that most people buying the new xbox will probably not get it on release day but will have to wait to Christmas for their parents to buy it to them
You can work part time at 13 in the UK.. i don't know what you're talking about

I do not know where you got your info, but the original xbox did in fact have xbox live, because I played it.

gtapro151 dam only 3 years? ps2 just recently stopped getting support and the 360 will be useless without live :/
what support does a ps2 need? plus only sports games still made ps2 games. 11 years of support is a long time. especially seeing as we go through smartphones and computers within 2 years.
