E3 2012: Xbox 360 Still Has “More Than Two Years” Left

According to Microsoft Studios corporate vice president Phil Spencer, the Xbox 360 still has “more than two years” left in it, despite a possible next generation Xbox coming soon.

“Microsoft entered this space with the original Xbox 11 years ago, and we’re committed for the long-term,” Spencer told GameSpot during an interview at E3. “The nice thing about the Xbox 360 right now is–if you look–we’re the number one console globally. We’re able to bring in new content and still support the best of the core games.”

“It’s a platform that has really reached scale; this is the time when you really see the great content showing up. The future in a lot of ways is always tomorrow: [things like] the SmartGlass technology and Windows 8 [show that] things are going to constantly evolve. Right now the Xbox 360 is really healthy and it’s doing incredibly well. I think the 360 has a lot more than two years [left]. It has legs for a long time.”

While some expected a reveal of Microsoft’s next home console this year, the company brought a renewed multimedia focus, Halo 4, and SmartGlass to the E3 event.
