The Xbox One could outlast the Xbox 360, and by a long shot, according to Rare’s Danny Issac. Â Upon missing the Xbox One launch window with Kinect Sports Rivals, Issac believes that there will be a lack of opportunities to launch alongside a new console going forward.
This console may last 12 years
“There’s very few opportunities to be there day one, Â and there’s going to be even fewer going forward,” said Issac. Â “This console may last 12 years,” he continued in an interview with Video Gamer.
A twelve year cycle for the Xbox One would be lengthy by any standards, but Issac’s sentiment don’t echo with all in the industry. Â Ubisoft’s CEO believes that the Xbox One and PS4 life cycles could be shorter than the previous generation, and last only five years.
What say you? Â Do you think that consoles should have a shorter life cycle as Guillemot predicts? Â Longer, as Issac says? Â Or was the Xbox 360/PS3 generation just right for you? Â Let us know in the comments section.
