Microsoft Says No New Xbox?!
Are you happy with your Xbox 360? Can you see yourself playing it without the desire for a newer generation Xbox in 2015? Because according to Microsoft’s David Hufford, senior director of Xbox product management, we won’t be seeing a new Xbox for several years, and quite possibly not even by 2015.
As the Guardian originally reported, Hufford stated in a briefing at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show, “I think it’s important to say that the Xbox 360 is the console of the long future for us. There is no need to launch a new console, because we’re able to give this console new life either with software upgrades or hardware upgrades like Project Natal.” And to make matters worse he stated, “The Xbox 360 was designed for a long life, and I don’t even know if we’re at the midpoint yet.”
What!? As far as I can remember usually after 3-4 years of a console being released there has always been talks of the next generation and looking forward to the future. Even the Playstation 2 with its “10 year life cycle” didn’t stop Sony from giving us the PS3. For Microsoft to delay the development of a new console seems to be cheating their diehard fans always looking forward to the improving consoles and graphics. We already have the Wii for our fun motion sensing games, and we don’t Xbox to sacrifice giving us new graphics in order to add on some gimmick to their system.
Also seeing as I’m currently on my 3rd Xbox 360, and I’m now out of my warranty, is this why Microsoft is really delaying the release of a new console? More of the Xbox owners I know have had to repair their console at least once since buying it, and those few who haven’t usually just bought their consoles. With the terrible hardware flaws in the 360 console, the majority of users might not even have a working console in a couple years, with their warranty expired and now forced to buy a new console, thus garnering a huge amount of sales for Microsoft.
Hopefully Sony and Nintendo will not hold off on their new consoles, and we’ll be hearing about their new systems at E3. But, what do you guys think? Will you be satisfied with playing our current generation of consoles in 2015? Or like me do you demand these companies strive to bring us a better console in the next few years?

quem o diz é David Hufford, director da divisão da Xbox, no fim da CES 2010, que diz que não veremos nenhuma xbox nova nos próximos anos, possivelmente, nem em 2015 ainda..
a x360 foi pensada desde o inicio a ser uma consola para durar ( [kdiabo] ) muito tempo e que com a capacidade da microsoft em reinventar a consola através do software e hardware, manterá a consola sempre fresca e recente, como será mostrado com o lançamento do Natal brevemente, e que a x360 não chegou ainda a metade do seu ciclo de vida.
