David M Ewalt says:

One of the things that make boxes like the Xbox and PS3 more useful is that they're connected to the internet, and can download new software updates that radically change the feel of the machine. In some ways, the "New Xbox Experience" released last years was like getting a whole new system.

But don't expect a new Xbox just because we're another four years out -- Microsoft Xbox chief Robbie Bach says the 360 will be it for a while longer.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2009/1/microsoft-no-xbox-360-successor-anytime-soon-msft"><P>"Just coming up with something that's faster and prettier isn't going to be sufficient," said Bach, 47. "The life cycle for this generation of consoles — and I'm not just talking about Xbox, I'd include Wii and PS3 as well — is probably going to be a little longer than previous generations."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2009/1/microsoft-no-xbox-360-successor-anytime-soon-msft"><P>Smart move by Microsoft. Game consoles have generally been evolving faster than the TVs they pair with, <EM>one</EM> of the problems with the PS3 is few gamers have the kind of HDTV sets that make its Blu-ray capabilities worth the premium over the Xbox's "upconverting" DVD drive. Throw in the recession, and the time isn't right to try to push a new console on consumers.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E23F6C19-F6E7-44B9-971F-3C1118A39789/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
