You might wanna shorten that to 3 or 4.
yeah they "hell to no"-Cole train, will not give up. The thing is, they want to become the only source of entertainment. They are getting into hand held systems now. They always work on something till they perfect it, so you'll probably see the 360 get remodeled and improved over the years.hahahahaha dude what are u been smokin.. look at the games out there on 360, better then other consoles and so far its doin great!!! i think in 5 years or 6, they will make another one...

They already improved it a bit more with the release of the Elite. That system hasn't reported having any problems except for one poster claiming something happend to his. But it's working fine now.
MS has been out of the red zone, in the console area, because of the 360. they are making way too much money and only plan to expand, if anyone is making their last console its sony. look at what all they have lost already. Lach0121
hell ya they messed up what used to be a fun system (ps2) and made the crappy PS3 xbox360 is going to be bigger than the ps2 was and bigger then the ps3 will ever be
Wow, you'd think at least one Sony fanboy would be searching our boards, and vote "yes".

MS actually said they want this console to last way past 2010.

well i wasnt a big fan of the ps2, thought it was seriously overrated, but i really loved the ps1, it was a great system, it had some great games. like FFVII, parasite eve, silent hill. resident evil. and many more. but not a big fan of ps2.
[QUOTE="LadyWolf1677"]I'm asking this question because MS is losing 1.5 bill. due to re embersing people that had to pay for repair costs and extended warrentiesRelived
1.5 bil is NOTHING to them. They'll make that up in Halo 3 and subsequent 360 sales.
hell halo3 has 4 million reserves so far. now lets just say that they are all the normal addition, thats 50 times 4 million. which is 200 million dollars. thats just if they were all normal editions, which we know there were orders of the collectors and legendary editions.[QUOTE="Relived"][QUOTE="LadyWolf1677"]I'm asking this question because MS is losing 1.5 bill. due to re embersing people that had to pay for repair costs and extended warrentiesLach0121

hahaha no way
M$ make too much money for it 2 be the last console... + M$ want to lead in everyithing including gaming
I have a feeling in 3 1/2 years we will get word on a new system which will be the end of 2010, and then they will unveil it at E3 or some show in the summer of 2011 and it will come out Q4 2011 assuming they even make another one, you never know, they still are not profiting from the 360 yet, they missed the estimated target by 400K and now they upgraded the warranty and are having to replace a bunch of broken consoles, plus they lost like a zillion dollars on the original xbox, so unless they see a profit thats substantial sometime soon which halo 3, mass effect and all the third party games coming out this year will help, they could very easily give up in the console business and who knows maybe someone like Sega could jump in again (not a good idea) or maybe even Apple (their console would cost $2000) or maybe Nintendo and Sony would be able to come out with really strong systems that are about even and Nintendo could reign as the Market leader once again just like the old days or at least come close, but who knows it just depends on how the breeze blows and really im not to worried about the future right now, what happens, happens, right now im just worried about what games im gonna get this year, there are so many coming out on all the consoles and my income is not any bigger then what its been in years past so I might have to skip out on friday night pizza and saturday night eat out and a couple of lunches at McDonald's to get all the games I want but im glad its like that this year, Its been a long time since theres been a year like this, say '98 or so ;)hahahahaha dude what are u been smokin (what have I been smokin?).. look at the games out there on 360, better then other consoles and so far its doin great!!! i think in 5 years or 6, they will make another one...

i am sure with this warranty crap that will drop them right back in the Red, but i do doubt its there last one, they will just be much more careful in production the next time around i can assure that. but microsoft is here to stay and sony will not go anywhere as much trouble they are having still early plus member gamecube got crushe last time but they stillmanaged to stick around (nintendo i mean) so not matter how bad it gets it wont get thatbad for niether to give up

It's the power supply comment of yours that I would like to talk about.
I got both the ROD and supply prob at the same time. When I sent in my first dud, I had my son hook up his 360 to my existing cables....including my supply. He then got the rod. When we hooked up his supply, all was fine with his console but not with mine.
I explained this little bit of trouble shooting when talking to the M$ rep. They didn't believe me.:|
They said that a green light on the supply (which I was getting,) meant no problemo. I told them I would curse like a sailor if the sent me back a box (all during the Halo beta mind you,) and it turned out to be something else.
Sure enough, I still got the rod.
To make a long story short, i had to pay to have my supply shipped to them and they sent me a new one.
I missed over half of the beta because of it....
