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.

The consoles only last about that long. 360 was out for what 7-8 yrs?

The advancements are crazy I cant imagine the next generation consoles already, RIP 360 time to move on I guess. I think it'll be shorter than the 360 with more and more demand for better product

I think if Microsoft continues to make everyone happy, they'll have no problem keeping the new generation consoles out.

Xbox 360 lasted some 7 years and 5 years is a pretty good time scale, however MS and SONY don't expect you to stop using your console and throw it away after 5 years. You can still use it you know.

Zero_Point_Five I know it wont last as long as the current gen (360 and ps3) but i think 5 years is too small... Maybe 7 years imo
why 7? i think they only need 4-5years. and if you people are that cheap then you don't need a console.

I swear they released news on this before, stating that the Xbox One would last up to ten years, oh well.
