New Xbox 360 slim and Kinect extends the console's lifecycle to 2015, claims Microsoft exec

If you're waiting on the next Xbox - the XBox 720, perhaps, you've got a bit of a wait. Microsoft says that the new Kinect controller and the forthcoming launch of a new, slimmer Xbox 360 consoles extends the lifespan of the product through to 2015.

While the company is still to confirm pricing and release details on Kinect, which we expect will arrive at GamesCon in Germany this coming August, Microsoft's European boss Chris Lewis has said that the new controller tech extends the format's lifecycle through to 2015.

Xbox 360 is mid-lifecycle

Lewis told GamesIndustry.biz: "I think 2010 will be a very big year for us, it is in many ways for us mid-lifecycle.

"What you've seen is with this new sleek design and Kinect for Xbox 360 we've got at least another five years of this generation where we continue to offer great experiences for people.

"We continue to attach more games than competitive platforms and we have the healthiest ecosystem with 25 million people connected through Xbox Live. So we are uniquely placed to continue to do really, really well in this business and enjoy ongoing momentum."

如果你还在等待微软下一代主机，请先购买船票。

从这届微软E3推出的几个服务来看，微软也知道，360在美国的发展已经进入瓶颈了，所以推出espn登陆live，Kinect针对轻度玩家。

至少这2个东西不管微软升级不升级主机还是有效的，Kinect游戏就现在360机能足够了，至于核心玩家方面，cod继续360占优势，halo系列和gow系列2年一作，加上其他零零碎碎的软件，撑到15年还是可能的。
