Microsoft: We expect to support Xbox One for 10 YEARS!!

Microsoft Microsoft corporate vice president Phil Harrison says that the upcoming next-generation Xbox One console is expected to have decade-long lifecycle. The Xbox One's launch on November 22 will commence the platform's "more than 10-year journey," Harrison said today during his Eurogamer Expo keynote address. Through features and services - including the cloud, Microsoft plans to support the Xbox One for more than a decade, Harrison said. Microsoft said earlier in the year that its current generation Xbox 360 console will be supported for another three years. That system launched in late 2005. Harrison also reiterated that Microsoft has 300,000 dedicated servers for the Xbox One to support features like multiplayer and various networking services, as well as for cloud processing and artificial intelligence.

Oh man. I was hoping for eleven years of support :(

I'm sure they'll keep the system in production for 10 years like they're planning to do with the 360. However, considering the 360's 1st Party support is one HD remaster away from dead 8 years in, it won't be full support like Sony does.FlamesOfGrey

Oh boy, consoles are going to be even worse than i imagined if this is true for both the PS4 and Xbone.

Isn't this Sony line?

They'd be the first, but I doubt it.

Any time any console maker has come out and said they'd support a platform after the successor's launch, it doesn't amount to anything much.

Of course. They'll provide the yearly XBL rip off and Xbox One production for 10 years while game support will be dropped within 3 years of release :P.

Your bias comments are too weak to last the rest of this thread. :lol:

They said it'll last 10+ yrs. XBox 360 will be around for a couple more years.

Nah.. they're still supporting the XBox 360. Over 100 games being released for it over the next year. That's more then what the Wii U will get, that's for sure.

Only 10 years? What is this load of crap? I thought the cloud was supposed to make X1 THE ONE. The last ONE you'll ever need. Not the only one you'll ever need ....... for the next ten years. 

Ouch, 10 years of knowing PC is better.

Wow, good luck with that Microsoft.

Yes they did. They still support and will beyond the point they need to. Thats why the PS2 still had a couple games released for it this year and you can still buy them , you can still buy new psp systems and they still have games coming out for it. The PS4 is on the horizon and sony is still releasing big named games for the PS3.

And yes, people forget about the first xbox for a reason. It was a poor mans ps2 that would have gone under if not for halo.

And microsoft will support xb1 for 10 years, support as in continue to sell the systems and periphals. But microsoft hasnt done shit for the 360 in the past year or two really.

To be fair that's based on what? The PS2? Fair enough it lasted a LONG time, but how do we know the same will happen with the PS3? Not saying it won't I hope it does, same with the 360, i'm not changing consoles for a while. Just sayin'

Microsoft said the same thing about the xbox, and they said the exact same thing about the xbox 360 Im tired of Microsoft's PR bullshit. Actions speak louder than words. Sony actually proved it by supporting the PS3 in its last year with its biggest year ever Meanwhile, when is the last time the 360 just even had an exclusive that wasnt a Gears/Halo/Forza sequel lol You would have to go back more than half a decade lol The 360 has had one of the worst and most pathetic exclusive libraries in console history (just boring repetitive yearly sequels of Gears/Halo/Forza etc) The 360 has pretty much been dead in the water for several years now. If there is one thing we have learned by now, its that you can NEVER trust Microsoft. Remember, Microsoft is also the same mega shady corp who tried to take away our consumer rights...Microsoft only pulled the plug at the last second because they were losing pre order sales. Microsoft is the worst of the big 3 by far....I will NEVER support Microsoft or give them a dime of my money. FUK you Microsoft Its PS4 all the way. The PS4 was made with gamers in mind from the start by Sony. It does everything better for less. 50% more powerful 100$ cheaper etc...Sony has awlays proven to support their consoles much longer....and i can keep going on and on etc If you are a real gamer take a stand and support Sony who supports core gaming the most If you are a real gamer, the PS4 is the correct optionBoxingandGaming

Are you a Mormon?

both consoles are pretty weak if theyre lowest common denominator. very happy dark souls 2 has pc as primary platform. 

With those specs, it will be interesting to see if MS and Sony can keep their consoles relevent for that long.
