Xbox One cycle more than 10 years, says Harrison

4.6
Xbox boss Phil Harrison has confirmed that Xbox One’s cycle will last more than a decade, speaking in the first session at this year’s Eurogamer Expo today.

Harrison confirmed Xbox One is on a “more than ten-year journey.” The console releases on November 22.

After dropping new Kinect details, the Microsoft exec also showed off Xbox One’s Upload Studio, which allows users to record, trim, record additional footage and voice-over for clips using Kinect, and upload and share with whoever they wish. If you see a game you like the look of on someone else’s upload, you can easily pop over to the appropriate game-page and get buying.

“We think this is a powerful virality tool,” said Harrison. Users will be able to apply to become “anchor tenants” of the Xbox One upload channel.

ID@Xbox, Xbox One’s indie development programme, was also featured in the talk.

Harrison reiterated that Xbox One will launch with 23 games, 11 of which are billion-dollar franchises.

Harrison’s presentation is the first in a series of live sessions at Eurogamer Expo this week.

Gotta_Have_It I think it will last a lot longer than 10 years, as I've had my 360 for about 5 and its still fine.


360 has been around for 11 or 12 I think so. Its a good gaming console unlike "1"


The 360 has only been around 8 years, it came out in late 05.

Both companies said each console will last 10 years. Neither one of them stuck to that promise. The truth is it's better for us. In 10 years the components will be outdated compared to PC.......actually maybe the next year it will be outdated.


Moore's law states that computers double in power every two years and that was a few decades ago and it has been more or less correct up until now. So yeah in a year PC will be superior and in two years it will be twice as fast. (With the best parts ofc.)


PC's are already superior, what are you talking about? I'm actually pretty pissed about the console lasting so long, because consoles are going to be holding back the potential of PC games since console specs are already mediocre compared to PC.
