Phil Spencer, the vice president of Microsoft Studios, says that his company plans to support the current Xbox 360 home console for years, even if it devotes more resources to the coming Xbox One.

When asked by The Official Xbox Magazine he states, "Years. Last generation was different for us, we moved pretty quickly. This time, you will see us staying committed to the Xbox 360."

Spencer believes that the current device is great for games, although it is showing its age when it comes to the feature set.

He adds, "So it's a great time even now to get into the Xbox 360 ecosystem. It's something we'll remain committed to on the content side as well as the platform itself."

The Xbox One will be launched on all major markets in November and will cost players 499 dollars or Euro.
