It’s been just a week since Microsoft executive Shane Kim remarked to VentureBeat that his company believes the Xbox 360 has a 10-year lifecycle (thanks in large part to whatever Project Natal will eventually turn into). And yet today, we’re hearing something quite different from a major third-party player. Now, far be it from me to pontificate on the technological potentiality of the 360 over the next several years, so I’ll let senior vice president of EA Games Europe, Patrick Soderlund, do it for me.
During an E3 2009 interview, Soderlund told Official Xbox Magazine:
Rah! Rah! Flame bait! Flame bait! Yeah, I get it. Soderlund also said that the 360 is his favorite console, and that, “If I was Sony, I would have a headache,” so simmer down people. And just because Soderlund believes the 360’s technology can’t be pushed any more (which is a major accusation that would require hard data to prove, which Soderlund does not provide) doesn’t preclude the 360 from being capable of churning out quality titles for years to come, as shown by the perennial success of Sony's second console offering, the PlayStation 2.
But enough of my ramblings, what do you think about the Xbox 360 apparently topping out in its just its fourth year on the market?

I guess Vicki leaving WWE was an early birthday gift for you. I'm glad she was annoying to me too.

360 is not going anywhere for a long time. There should be a xbox 720. But if they can compete with ps3 for a long time then why upgrade? Just milk it for as long as you can. Sony is still milking that dead cow the ps2. Then after people have been milked for a long time they go get the next upgrade that is super cheap. Yep! they get an xbox because sony won't price drop.

XBOX360 GPU ~ PS3 GPU; What really limits a game this generation is definitely not the CPU but GPU that bottlenecks both systems. The only important thing the CPU handles is the AI and the Physics. Theses things obviously don't really have an impact on the quality of the game. Look at Red Faction and burnout.

last time i checked, ea games look like shyt on the ps3.

Coming from EA, the company that has milked every sports title for all its worth, he has a lot of nerve saying the 360 is maxed out. If EA thinks that the PS3 has more to give, then EA is not the company to reach the PS3's full potential because their innovation is maxed out.
