DO not say when you think the lifespan of the 360 will last, but how long YOU want it to last.  it doesnt have to be reasonable.

For me, I'd like the 360 to last at least about 3 to 4 more years before MS introduces the next console.  itll give both consumers and developers time. Though Sony is already thinking of a PS4 by 2010! thats too soon for me.

Well since the Xbox360's technology jump is so much higher than how Xbox1 was to PC's. Xbox lasted a good run, so I'm honestly hoping 360 will last a good 7 years, and will have amazing graphics by then :) And everyone would have one.

It wouldn't be:
"Dude, what's your Myspace, so I can add you!?"
Its gunna be:
"Dude, what's your GamerTag, so I can add you?!"

I was basing it off the part where he stated the Xbox 360's power to be the reason for this extended life.

5-6 years, considering that better technology can be developed within that time. Plus an added bonus would be that the quality of the purchase goes up, because then it would be well lasted.

After my PS2 I was definately ready for something more powerful, I never tried the original Xbox. I am actually happier with the power of the 360 than I thought I would be, althought I'll still be getting a PS3 most likely. As long as they keep using the great graphics engines they have been using lately (thinking Gears and Oblivion, and even Quake 4 and Prey), I don't have a problem using it for the next 5 years, if it will even last that long.
