Om vi ska tro på 343 Industries-bossen och Halo 4-producenten Frank O'Connor finns det fortfarande mycket liv kvar i denna generation. Och när de nya konsolerna väl kommer, så kommer både Playstation 3 och Xbox 360 leva vidare, säger han i en intervju med Games Industry.
"I would actually strongly contest the fact that the Xbox 360 is at the end of its life cycle, this has already been one of the longest generations and there's a really good reason for it, which is that current consoles are incredibly flexible and still really powerful. The reason that Halo 4 looks good is that that machine has an awful lot of untapped power still and it's going to continue to.", säger O'Connor.
Han avrundar sitt resonemang: "I think that looking forward into the future I can see years from now, even after next-gen platforms are out, that you'll have lower priced versions of the existing consoles happily living side by side and serving really valuable functions. Not just becoming the little brothers like cast offs, but still being your Netflix player, still being you DVD player, your Blu-ray player in the case of the PS3, and still doing really vital things around your house. And that means if people are still using it they're still going to want gaming experiences on it."
Vad säger Gamereactors läsare, har nuvarande generation fortfarande många år framför sig?
