Xbox One & PS4 generation to last 5-6 years, says EA’s Soderlund
Speaking with MCV, Soderlund said, “This console cycle may have gone on a little bit longer than I would have wanted,” and added, “At the same time, you have seen games like The Last of Us and GTA V at the end of a cycle which perhaps you would not have expected a few years ago. But a five, six year gap is what I expect going forward.”
Moving forward and innovating is key however, and Soderlund feels that EA is capable of doing just that. Next stop: Titanfall. He reckons that praise for Respawn’s shooter has proven this fact. “That response is telling us that gamers don’t want to play the same game every year,” he continued. “And even the games we build on an iterative basis, we have to make sure we keep on innovating or people won’t give us their money.”
Do you think the current cycle will be shorter than the PS3 and Xbox 360 generation? Let us know what you think below.

I will still be playing my 360. Haven't considered purchasing a new console. Not till they are at least a few hundred dollars cheaper.

ORL_MAGIC-CP Um, not according to this: http://www.thetechgame.com/News/sid=5769/sony-uk-thinks-ps4-lifecycle-might-be-shorter-than-ps3.html
Contradict yourself much?
First off ttg doesn't write these articles. Their "sources" are just other gaming news websites from who they copy and paste. I don't really have a problem with it considering I still get to hear all the news, but I can diffidently see where some people might have a problem with it.
Also what do you mean its contradicting? They both say the console life will be shorter.
Sorry, should have been more specific. I meant to add that it is a contradicting report to what was initially said. Before they came out, they were supposed to last forever, and now it is not the case. I was not saying TTG contradicted itself.
