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.

Dine I feel like its a good estimate with how rapidly technology is advancing but I wish it would last as long as the 360
Yeah, a very good estimate but tech is advancing so quick I think it could be 5 years or less

I also wish it would last that long.
A $500 investment for something that is only going to last about 5 years kinda sucks.
It really isn't bad when you think of it. You can play the Xbox One even after the current generation ends.

Jayden- Yeah that seems about right, same amount of time the 360 and PS3 have lasted. I wonder what the generation after that will offer.
Why am I thinking about that now, it's over 5 years away most likely!
The Xbox 360 is nearly 9 years old.
That isn't the suggested lifespan of the next gens.

XeXChamp It Should Last A While PS3 & Xbox 360 Lasted Long
Because they didn't have the means of technology to pump out a new console.
There is no way the newer consoles will last more than 3/4 of what the Xbox 360 and PS3 did.

It doesn't surprise me, though I wish if I was going to spend $500 on something it would last more than just 5 years.

Ever I think if Microsoft continues to make everyone happy, they'll have no problem keeping the new generation consoles out.
and look at the graphical improvements compared to previous gen, when the xbox 360 first launched, the quality of the games, graphical eye candy, all that stuff improved at the end of the consoles life cycle, so imagine the stuff we are getting in a few years, plus 4k resolution is getting out there, if you haven't gotten one yet, I really recommend a 4k resolution display, it was worth every penny and the pixels are just too much to handle on tv.
