Microsoft: Xbox 360 to continue for at least five more years

Posted on Wednesday, June 23 2010 @ 7:27 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
The Xbox 360 has been on the market since late 2005 and if it's up to Microsoft the console will stay alive for at least five more years:
Microsoft's Chris Lewis has commented that the Xbox 360 console has "at least" five more years of competition in it thanks to new ideas like Kinect, MS' new controller.

An official European price for the Kinect controller hasn't yet been announced, but Lewis reckons that Kinect will go down a storm across the continent when Kinect is finally released.

"Kinect for 360 is big for France, Italy, Germany and Spain, where there is a market for the casual gaming appetite that we can now address without the physical barrier of the controller," Lewis told GI.biz.
