GoW 2 producer thinks the 360 is reaching its limit

Someone other than Cliff Bleszinski is bringing word from the Gears of War camp about the Xbox 360's potential. This time it's Rod Fergusson, Producer behind the franchise. In an interview with Gamasutra Rod discusses the Xbox's technological limits in terms of how far the pony will go.

No specific time frame was mentioned, but in his mind most games in the near future will be all out of tricks. The closest he gets to a date is through the following part of the interview.
There will be games in development that won't ship until 2010, and I'm sure they'll look killer, just because, again, they'll have more time with it, and learn from mistakes and optimizations of others. So, I don't know; I think we're getting up there, but I still think there's room to grow.
A fair look as the thing ain't getting any younger and has only but so much disc space. Nevertheless, bigger isn't always better.

Modify it and put in Core 2 Extreme QC's, then whip up a GPU based on the 9800GX2, and then everything is OK.

The 360 still has a good amount of life left, after all 2010 was the target year for it's successor. Only 1.5 years left!

Sounds about right.

I'd like to play a game system that wont melt through my shelf or explode.

If they make it to 2010 they beat the original xbox's lifespan by 1 year, I expect consoles to last 4-6 years. Which is about right, most people have to upgrade their PCs every 4-6 years(depending on what they use it for). Hopefully the next one wont have a 30% failure rate.

Its almost time for a new system but I think it will be another few years
