Microsoft executive Shane Kim said Wednesday that it’s “way too early” to tell if the current generation of consoles is the last.
Speaking at the Reuters Media Summit, Kim also said that it’s too soon to declare a winner, maintaining that this generation will have a long lifespan.
“I never say never. I think it’s way too early to say this will be the last, or try to declare a winner in this generation,” Kim said. “I do believe that this generation will enjoy a very long lifecycle, and that includes Xbox 360.”
“It will be an interesting challenge and question for all the players in the industry to think hard about what will define the next generation. It may not be hardware, graphical, processing power. It could very well be innovations and interface, or in the online services. If that’s the case, we feel really great about how we’re positioned with Xbox Live.”
