Whispers on the wind suggest a 2011 release date for the neXt box. Moreover, Intel wants in on the action as well
According to the industry insiders close to the Inquirer, Intel is rumored to be pursuing Microsoft quite aggresively, with the intent of putting its upcoming Larrabee chip inside Microsoft's next XBOX console. Yes, you read it rigt -- Microsoft's next-generation XBOX console -- already.
In a related development, AnandTech predicts that Microsoft is already planning for the next Xbox console -- let's call it the Xbox 720.
For a historical perspective on this timeframe, recall a Peter Moore interview -- March 2007, with the Electronics Gaming Monthly magazine. Back then Peter Moore was the head of Interactive Entertainment Business division for Microsoft (he is now gainfully employed by EA), he had indicated that the production team was already working on next-gen Xbox. Fast forward to June 2008 when Robbie Bach, president of the entertainment and devices division at Microsoft also indirectly confirms that people were already working on new technologies.
I can't see Microsoft paying Sony to use Bluray in it's next console. I think there's going to be some new formats out in the near future. I know Samsung are working on a format that is better than Bluray. I think Microsoft will be looking into future formats, Bluray will be it's last option.

I agree, next Xbox console will be out around 2010. The 360 has another 2 years left then that's it. That averages around a 5 year lifespan per Xbox console. As for the PS4, Sony will release it soon after the 720. I can't see PS3 lasting as long as the PS1 and PS2. Sony wants its market back....:)
