Xbox One & PS4 generation to last 5-6 years, says EA’s Soderlund
Speaking with MCV, Soderlund said, “This console cycle may have gone on a little bit longer than I would have wanted,” and added, “At the same time, you have seen games like The Last of Us and GTA V at the end of a cycle which perhaps you would not have expected a few years ago. But a five, six year gap is what I expect going forward.”
Moving forward and innovating is key however, and Soderlund feels that EA is capable of doing just that. Next stop: Titanfall. He reckons that praise for Respawn’s shooter has proven this fact. “That response is telling us that gamers don’t want to play the same game every year,” he continued. “And even the games we build on an iterative basis, we have to make sure we keep on innovating or people won’t give us their money.”
Do you think the current cycle will be shorter than the PS3 and Xbox 360 generation? Let us know what you think below.

Why are people talking about the lifespan of the systems? This article says nothing about that, when they say cycle they mean the transition into the next next-gen

There is no way. This has to at least last for 7. Both consoles will last a long time and are amazing.

JimboSlice I mean the 360 lasted for 7 years so I would think the One and PS4 could make it at least 8 or 9.
Not even close. Technology is getting better and better, quicker and quicker.. New consoles will come out like new iPhones before you know it

5-6 years? The way you guys advertised made it seem like it would last for 10+ years.
