There's no need for a new Xbox, says Microsoft

We all know that the games business goes in cycles and that a new generation of consoles always comes along to replace whatever is popular today. In fact, we should now be talking about the Xbox 720, Sony PlayStation 4 and Wii II, or whatever they might be called, because game developers need a couple of years to create new games to exploit the new hardware capabilities that justify the launch of a new generation. But we aren't, and Microsoft doesn't want us to.

"I think it's important to say that the Xbox 360 is the console of the long future for us. There is no need to launch a new console, because we're able to give this console new life either with software upgrades or hardware upgrades like Project Natal," said David Hufford, senior director of Xbox product management in a briefing at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. "The Xbox 360 was designed for a long life, and I don't even know if we're at the midpoint yet."

Haha I'm pretty excited for Xbox 360's future. They launched quick a nice amount of hits as far as game releases lately and the line-up heading into the summer is looking very promising. If they were to launch a new system I don't think my pockets could handle it ... let alone my bills allow for me to have the leisure of paying for such a thing. Can't wait for FFXIII and Mass Effect 2 that's for certain !!

Yea I would rather see them try and improve on the xbox 360 rather than just say the H*** with it. Plus I am not too excited about having to spend another 400$ for a new system.

Nice post Neil, +REP for you.
I agree aswell, xbox has no need to release a new console, Project Natal should be interesting.
