Chris Lewis, the leader of the Xbox division for Europe, believes that his company can still keep the Xbox 360 competitive even after the next-gen Xbox One is launched in November.

The team working on the hardware believes that the two devices can remain in competition while also coexisting for the next few years.

He tells MCV that, “We remain very committed to our Xbox 360 business. It is an important part of the ecosystem, for our retailer partners, for our third-party developers and indeed for our own economics.”

The executive mentions GTA V from Rockstar and FIFA 14 from EA Sports as a sign that teams will continue to deliver amazing gaming experiences on the Xbox 360.

Microsoft will probably position its older device as a cheaper alternative for gamers who are looking to experience past hit titles but do not want all the social and new media elements of the Xbox One.
