Rumours has it saying a successor to the xbo360 will be out somewhere in early 2012 or late 2011. So Valhalla xbox360 owners has 2 years in front of them to enjoy single player and multiplayer xbox live services to the fullest without any worries of machine disorders.

Indeed it is true, Playstation claimed Ps3 would last 10 years; until 2016, I reckon Microsoft would yet again have a headstart in the next Gen console war.

Sony 10 year lifespan implies that the hardware will have continue support of software titles. It doesn't mean after 10 years they will only launch a new console.

SONY PSX launched in 1995... End of life cycle should be around 2005 or 2006 (Hardware no longer in production).

SONY Playstation 2 launched in 2000.. ( Currently still in production but sticking to the 10 year life cycle, SONY should be discontinuing

it's production somewhere in 2010 or 2011).

SONY Playstation 3 launched in November 2006.... (from the looks of it, the successor to Playstation 3 should be on the shelves

somewhere in 2011 or 2012 thus starts another console war flex.gif . Playstation 3 will continue to be supported till 2016 to 2017).

* I believe the launch of Playstation 3 was somewhat delayed (it took almost 7 years to launch) due to the development of CELL BE. It

shouldn't happen to Playstation 4 though since rumors has been saying that Playstation 4 will be utilizing an enhanced version of CELL

BE thus there shouldn't be any delay in development of the console..

Even if its out in 2011/2012...i think for average joes like me would only buy them at least 2 years after that...launch prices are always  sweat.gif i meant the

new next gen consoles... ph34r.gif

Ya! this I agree. I bought my PS3 a year after launch... doh.gif

Do bare in mind that launch units are mostly the inferior ones. I feel that these units serves as guinea pigs for manufacturers to upgrade & enhance the later revision consoles.

That's not what i meant... If you look into PS1 and PS2, there are so many hardware revision (though mostly in the form of motherboard layout).
