Question with PS3 versus 360

I was wondering for the people who debate which of these consoles comes out on top in this generation what is the time restriction

What I mean is PS3 is being supported for 10 years, the xbox 360 may or may not be supported for this long. If in say 2011 the new Xbox is released and the 360 is still beating the PS3, and Microsoft stopped supporting the 360 soon after and the PS3 overtook the 360 in sales in say 2014 does Sony win? I guss the issue is when a generation technically ends and the "next gen" begins. I know Microsoft is claiming they will beat PS3 this gen, do they mean overall in unit sales or just having a lead until their new console is realeased. Do you think Microsoft will support the 360 for ten full years?

Sorry this is a random question, but hey I'm bored from studying for exams.

they are gonna have the lead untill the new xbox comes out, and then the ps3 will be ahead of the 360, so if sony wants to call that a win.. sure lol.jeezers

What makes you think the PS3 will last 10 years?SpinoRaptor24

Sony has a policy that they support consoles in a 10 year cycle. Thats why PS2 is still being supported.
