The very bottum.

"Eventually we’re going to have to, over the course of a seven-, eight-year lifecycle, you’re going to try to drive it down to the same price points as you see PS2 at, for example. That is how the game should be played out"

a console's lifespan is purely a function of how long 3rd party devs will continue to support it. 1st party support makes it look a bit more legit, but it's not necessary.

Good for you Lems, now you won't have to worry about a discontinued console after 4 years.
And maybe they'll make a better BC plan so you won't have to keep your 360!

Sony didn't do anything genius by "supporting" the PS2. Nintendo and Microsoft would have "supported" them as well if they shipped 100 million units. But like people already stated in this thread, the real support comes from third party developers.

Nothing is set in stone...whatsoever. The changing trends of the market and the competition will always prompt change, and it's likely that the 360 won't last that long as hardware, especially PC hardware, continues to evolve.

What's your point?  Do you win something because you spent less money than me or something? :roll: Is it a competition to see who can get the most out of their dollar?

I don't get it...We're talking about the awful lifespan of a powerful console...

Yeah, that's why I got myself a Wii instead. No problems so far and very few reported by other users despite already selling 4.5+ million :)

That a dumb thing to say. A consoles life span is affected by that but only AFTER the next generation is out. The PS2 is still going well because of support but if there is no successor to the 360 in 7 to 8 years then there will still be 3rd party support. They don't wait for the dev's to stop making games before they release a new console.

The key thing is to make sure you’re…this is going to sound trite, but make sure that you listen to your customers. For example, when we launched Video Marketplace, lots of people said, “That’s great, but now I’d like to have bigger storage, because not only am I downloading Arcade games and other content now, but I’ve got this video content as well.” Seems pretty reasonable…I think we’ll look at that and do something along those lines. You’ve got to be looking at what’s best for your customers from a capabilities standpoint, and then you have to figure out when you put it all together, what’s the right mix? Is it part of your cost reduction, or is it going to be something that’s at the same price, but you’ve added more capabilities and you’ve created more value for your customers?

I think this pretty much confirms Zephyr.

Even Microsoft is bragging about how HDMI and DVI can provide better content with the 'premium content' in Windows Vista. HDMI is about the copy protection too.

I'm just saying, I have seen plenty of Xbox 360s with DVD drives that are not the ones it came with...Do you really think they are going to let you 'rent' content Napster forbidden>

Yeah that is mainly to do with TV manufactures being pressured from the Movie Studios in Hollywood. HDMI will be outdated in less than 10 years and TVs will use another output by than.

Yeah I think they are going to have to do something with all new TVs supporting HDMI. I guess you can blame MS for not thinking ahead 2 to 3 years.

Why are people upset ???

 This is god news for everyone .... you guys do realise that Microsoft forced a pre-emptive jump to current gen dont you ...
   PS3 im sure SONY wanted a 2007 launch ...
  Wii im sure Nintendo wanted a 2006 launch ...
 Microsoft saw this and launched the 360 in 2005 due to the fact it would leave their competitors struggling to complete their planned products to prevent Mircosoft from gaining too much marketshare ....

 Now that Microsoft is basically saying "Yea shareholders are pissed off we lost so much on Xbox 1 we are going to make sure we are making money off 360 for years and years" -- via having a 8 year lifespan ...

  Why is this good news for SONY -- well PS3 is meant to have a 10 year lifespan .... well in 8 years time when Microsoft are launching Xbox 3 - SONY can launch PS4 and still say PS3 had a 7 lifespan + how evermany more years it takes for PS3 to die ... 

 Nintendo might just that 8 years is a LONG lifespan for the Wii however i believe that this will let Nintendo view what their competitors are doing -- how the Wii is doing -- and let them if they want enter the next-gen market first - with a system more powerful than PS3 and 360 -- weaker than the enietable PS4 / Xbox 3 but still extremly competitive via a pricing strategy ...

 And what do we the gamer get ? -- well we get to spend longer with the current gen systems before we need to fork out large sumsof money to go "next-gen" ....
