Six More Years With the Xbox 360?
Asked if Xbox is still growing at this "late stage in a console lifecycle", Lewis said:
"We see it as about halfway through. But yes you are right, Xbox is defying the normal curve you might expect. There's no doubt that Kinect put a huge shot of adrenaline into the business.
"What we are now seeing is massive swathes of families and younger audiences flocking to it. As you saw at the press conference, we are now in line with what we projected at E3 2010."
Lewis went on to explain that Microsoft deliberately focused on families and kids first with Kinect, and now it's moving on to provide "complimentary" experiences for core gamers.
"What you won't see is us contriving that," he said. "What you will see is us using Kinect to enhance the experience and not detract from it. I don't think our core gamers will tolerate anything else from us."

CasperChaosxvi the xbox is slowly losing its power with all these new games coming out i cant wait till they cant run a game and lose lots of moneyYou know that blueray is slower than a normal disk right? Thats why ps3 has to install like half of every game you put in it.... Plus blur ray on a cross platform game isnt any better... And that is because its coded no different and dont have a different engine... its ALL the same... The only time a ps3 might get better graphics is on a ps3 exclusive

Yea this was mentioned in an article in OXM that I got today. They said the next Xbox may not even be called Xbox and will probably be expected in 2014. So 3 years, not 6.

DizzyFX TBH i think microsoft, should just stay with the 360, as it is getting so advanced, with sky, youtube coming soon, we have video rentals, ps3 cant beat us no matter how hard they try, by putting blu ray in, if we stick with the 360, and really we have the new 360 which is only a year old if they keep updaing out consoles every 5 years i see no reason why not stick with the 360 for ever :)
As games get more advanced so will the specs of a console. Xbox is getting a bit out-dated, sadly.

Cross-platform games are made so they can be perfectly run on all consoles :)

I really want them to wait longer for a newe console. If there going to make a new one it better be 10x better then the 360 cause if its just the same ol thing it would be a waste of money.

demoralize when battle field 3 is released we will see a rise in pc gaming because people will realize how inferior the xbox is to the pc. hopefully we get a new console in the next 24 months max.
People will never realize that, and if the xbox is inferior its not by much, imo.
