Console expected life time support.

RedEye Expr3ss · Sep 7, 2015

Hello Lei Fang, No torches here I'm just out of space. On my gaming tv is the XB1, Ps4, Ps3, Wiiu, Dreamcast modded for SD and ps2 with BBA and 500gb hdd. I simply have no space left and the 360 just didn't make it.

@Azreal, this is why most consoles are BC, to encourage owners to upgrade. For people like me with minimal space it's the best way to go.

I say at least 5 years, it's just that even though this gens updates is enough

I'm on my Xbox 1 console tonight. Apparently there's a service alert:

Xbox Live Core ServicesLimited

Affected platforms:

Xbox 360

Affected services:

Signing into Xbox Live

8/09/2015 9:46:05 p.m. NZST:

We know you’re having difficulty signing in to Xbox Live, and our best engineers are working to get it fixed ASAP. Thanks for your patience in the meantime. We’ll update you as soon as there are any changes.

Well Xbox 1 does use 300,000+ Xbox Live servers worldwide. Xbox 360 only uses 15,000 Xbox Live servers worldwide. I can sign into Xbox 1, but not Xbox 360. Some of my friends are experiencing the same thing too.

That's the good thing about having the best of both worlds, Xbox 360 and Xbox 1. If one fails, you should be able to go and enjoy the other.

Hey, I wonder if that service alert affected people on the preview playing BC games? Technically speaking, you appear to log in to the 360 dash.

I didn't finish my last post, I said at least 5 years, the leap from 360/ps3 to xb1/ps4 wasn't earth moving, but necessary.

That would be a no, from me at least; was playing the original Borderlands on the X1 during the service alert.

I actually do want BC, not just think I do. Out of all the consoles I had to trash one and that was the 360. History suggests that most consoles are BC by default, logic would suggest allot of gamers would expect the same for the xb1 and ps4. So for those
that aren't afraid of older games it's part of life more then an accessory. Moving right along,,,, after a year of extensive PS4/PS3 gaming and now mostly on the XB1, the differences are minimal as we all know. I even re-bought GTA 5 and AC Unity just to play
them again on a different console. The one game I've %100 stopped playing on the XB platform is COD, amazing that my reputation is now good

I played allot of PS3 due to money spent on games and PS4 as I basically had every game released on said platform.
With no 360 I'm glad to see BC coming as my untouched 360 library is bigger then the ps3 was, perfect examples are borderlands and Gears. Moving right along, the only moaners now are the PC elites which shouldn't affect us at all. I think both consoles will
last at least 5 years unless the NX blows everything we know out of the water.

With technology advancing at a very fast rate.... (What you buy tomorrow is already outdated) you can expect this console to be around (SUPPORTED) for about 10+ years but also expect an XB2 to be released in the early 2020s or so...

Well, if history serves, we just might see the Xbox One console stick around for 15 years! Think about it - the Xbox released in 2001 and was still around in 2005, when the Xbox 360 released. That's 5 years right there. The Xbox 360 is still going strong
since 2005 even today, despite the Xbox One's release in late 2013. That's 10 years for the Xbox 360! So, if we're adding 5 years of life per generation of MS console, it stands to reason (and tradition) that the Xbox One will be around for 15 years. It's
a pattern!

Whether we continue to follow that pattern/trend, however, only time will tell... ;P

Alternatively, we already know about the MS Hololens, which for all we know may be the next big thing to take over our living rooms - and that's probably coming sooner than we think.

I know both Microsoft and Sony said they expect these current consoles to be around for about 10 years.

I've seen quite a few developers though say they will never last that long. Some even said they are outdated now.

One developer from UbiSoft posted, basically expect to see then Next Next Gen in 5-6 years max!

Who knows.

I reckon there won't be another Xbox but it will be in the form of a PC app with the Xbox live functionality. Just my own opinion.
