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.

Rant I'm sticking with my Xbox 360 over the Xbox One, at least until the price comes down, if at all.
You will need to upgrade anyway. They're gonna stop supporting the 360 after 3 years I think

Dine I feel like its a good estimate with how rapidly technology is advancing but I wish it would last as long as the 360
The Xbox One will definitely not last as long as the 360 imo.

I also wish it would last that long.
A $500 investment for something that is only going to last about 5 years kinda sucks.
It really isn't bad when you think of it. You can play the Xbox One even after the current generation ends.
Yes, but how many people will still play it?
Most people move on once new consoles come out.
True, many people will stop playing the Xbox One when the next console is released. Some people may stick with it for a year or two though, just like people are doing with the Xbox 360 and PS3

Yeah, a very good estimate but tech is advancing so quick I think it could be 5 years or less
Xbox One definitely won't last as long as Xbox 360 did.

This is why I don't understand as to why console players don't just invest in a new PC.
You can upgrade as technology is released, which is much cheaper and you aren't forced to buy a bunch of things you don't actually want.
