Microsoft: this generation of consoles will have longer life cycle |

Talks of a new generation of consoles have been heard in whispers
lately, since we are nearing the end of the 4-5 year time span between
console releases. According to Microsoft's Robbie Bach though, this current generation is so good that we won't see a new generation anytime soon:
Just coming up with something that's faster and prettier isn't going to be sufficient.
The life cycle for this generation of consoles - and I'm not just talking about Xbox, I'd include Wii and PS3 as well - is probably going to be a little longer than previous generations.
At CES, he also said that Microsoft is sticking to the Xbox 360 longer than usual because fewer people want to upgrade. Seeing as we're smack dab in the middle of an economic crisis, I would say that that's the smart thing to do.

I feel that such leaps and bounds in innovation - in terms of the kinds of things we're doing in games, the varied types and the over all freshness of just about every genre leads to much more that can be done to improve play. That's not even touching on the hardware side of things where developers are now just learning how to pump out better and better looking, performing & sounding games. Take the Uncharted series for example - the first looked great, but it's sequel looks to whoop it's a$s in that department - and it's not 2 years since we got the first.
It's like developers are just scratching the surface of this generation of gaming and it has a long ways to go.

when consoles get hacked, games usually start to appear with more competitive prices. and that's usually when hardware developers start thinking of bringing another generation to the market - to protect their profits (for a while).
