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.

I-DA-KING I doubt that in 10 years someone is still going to be using a xbox one, Its like the wii, It had its life cycle & now they just sit on peoples shelves collecting dust


You can't really compare them as Lia said. The Xbox has way more games,live players, ext

The wii and the Xbox are a completely different type of console aimed at different audiences, same goes for the ps3/4.

SliceFX They're going to have to release a new console in the next couple of years to catch up on the specs of the new games...


Where does this make any sense?


I don't understand it either. I don't think there will be another console for quite some time. The Xbox One and PS4 will be able to handle games for quite some time to come.

And by this I'm sure ps4 will almost the exact same cycle. Games aren't going to be that advanced in the time but I guess they'll release another updated console in the time

I'm not sure, if technology keeps advancing as it has done, the Xbox One will no doubt look severely outdated in 2023.

Mentalist I'm pretty sure not every console is going to last that long, my first xbox only lasted for 2 years...


But that was the Xbox 360(or original xbox) this is new and companies are smarter


Lucky enough for me my Xbox 360 I got in 2008 and it's still going to this day so I have had no problems with mine but a 10 year life span for the X1 I don't think so 6-7 years is long enough.
