Three years down the road for the second version of the Xbox. Incase you don't remember, it is built around a Intel P3 733Mhz. That CPU is aging fast.
It's funny, PC's have about a year and a half lifespan tops.

Game consoles typically run on a five-year life cycle, which means market leader Sony would be due to replace its PlayStation 2 in 2005. But Sony executives, while refusing to make any commitments for a PS2 successor, have indicated that the Cell processor expected to power the PlayStation 3 is taking longer to develop than expected. Sony also recently announced an interim update to the PS2, the PSX home-entertainment appliance, that should add some new life to the brand, according to Peter Glaskowsky, editor in chief of industry newsletter Microprocessor Report.
