I agree that the Xbox 360's life will be longer then the Xbox's (haha!) but to say these will last 15 years as the key console is just absolutely moronic. I do see them pushing 8-10...but going 15 leaves the door open for places like OnLive to get a foot in the door with outstanding PC like graphics with a simplistic Console like interface and cost.

"PC Gaming is dead"
2009 - pc.ign.com/articles/106/1065101p1.html "... unit sales of games sold on Steam went up 205 percent... 25 million active user accounts in 2009 ... Steam now has over 1,000 games to download from over 100 developers and publishers." 2008 - http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/...tory=22378 "Steam currently boasts 20 million users and 350 games, and the service is seeing consistent year-on-year growth of 100 percent." |

People don't own both consoles yet?
Its 5 years into the lifespan. You should own all 3 of the current Gen consoles if you want the full experience. Theres plenty of exclusives on either system. Who cares what system sells more. It's not going to change companies focus and more and more games are becoming cross platform anyways. The more each console sells the more reason publishers will have to jump across platforms and place the big name games on both which is a win win for gamers. |

Truth hurts. Bow down. Love it when fanboys get their feelings hurt. Dont take it personal, just eat your cheerios and crawl out from under your rock. Good to know skeeza and phrozt still ride my coattails... how's it going Nancy's?
And who's talking about computers? This is a console discussion. Lifespan will be 15 years... there is no debate. Deal with it. Last edited by WaltonsMountain; 04-05-2011 at 09:20 AM.. My First Build

And who is getting their feelings hurt? I was just pointing out the fact that 99% of the stuff you spew around here makes you sound like a total fvckronaut. |

15 year console generation is just ludicrous. That puts the 360 successor at 2020. The HD gen has 2-3 years before the next one comes out. And congrats to Sony for succeeding in losing a ridiculous amount of money this gen so that they could go from a dominating 1st place last gen to a precarious 1st loser this gen.

i'm telling you... I see a lifespan of 15 years on these consoles. 5 years flew by, I dont see why its so ludicrous to expect them to last another 10? I definitely dont see PS4 coming out till 2020... and Xbox 720? We may see in 5-7 years but if these numbers and trends continue I definitely see PS3 as the long term winner...

At one point I had all 3 consoles and at different times I've had any 2 of the 3 depending on bills/time etc. Now I don't have enough time to justify all 3 and found that I play the 360 more than the others so that's all I have left. I really don't care if it's superior/inferior to whatever in whatever ways. It's what I like and if others hate it, then great. Why do people attach so much pride/emotion to which is "winning" or "better" I just don't see the point. Play what you want and let others do the same. |
