In an interview with MSNBC, Microsoft Interactive Entertainment Business unit senior vice president, Don Mattrick claimed that Xbox 360 is the best console yet and that it can live on for a decade, just like Playstation 2.
"Of course, I'm biased, given the role that I'm in",said Don Mattrick. "But if I really think about it using my consumer instincts and the experience that I've had, this is the best blend of performance, price, online and games â€" by far."
"On a price-per-value basis, I think we win... relative to Sony and Nintendo", he added.
" If you look at our quality ratings, there [are] more 85-plus rated games on Xbox 360, by a long shot, when you compare it with PlayStation 3 and Wii."
When asked about Playstation 3's 10 years expected shelf life, Mattrick said that Xbox 360 "definitely has the potential to have a similar shelf life." ... "We're at a point now where we're eight years in, and there's more resources, more third-party support, more retail support and more consumer support. And it's very probable that this will be a longer life cycle."
